This articles describes the setup and configuration process for ICT GX system within Mosino Platform
OVERVIEW
ICT is an access control system used by different properties to manage access to various location within the properties. This includes common areas, unit doors and more.
Mosino's integration with ICT GX system includes both data synchronization as well as generating mobile credentials. The integration leverages ICT's GX platform using the SOAP Webservices to ensure both systems can establish a 2-way communication.
Setup
Once the ICT GX system is setup, Mosino requires various configuration to establish a connection. Before the configuration can be set up, it's important to do perform a quick checklist.
The systems is connected to the internet as it would be required to be reached from the outside.
The user operator created for Mosino would has Admin access. This is required for the API access.
Windows Firewall settings
Important: Create an inbound rule for the ICT GX Port(s) inside "Windows Defender Firewall with Advance Security". Once the Inbound Rule(s) are created, it's time to create a network route / port forwarding.
Network Route / Port Forwarding
Extract the local IP address of the GX Server. With both the PORT and Server IP, the next steps requires a Network Route to be created to allow Mosino Cloud services to connect to the GX SOAP Service.
This requires the user to have access to the network router. Once router configuration is accessed, a network route needs to be created for for GX SOAP service using the IP and Port from the previous step.
Whitelisting
To ensure higher level of security, ensure the route/port forwarding is white-listed to allow connections from specific services from Mosino. Since based on region, the white-listing information may vary for Mosino Cloud, reach out to the Mosino representative to receive the white-listing information.
Mosino Configuration
Once the GX configuration is completed and the external IP/Port is collected, the information needs to be configuration inside Mosino.
Once the configuration inside GX is done, configure the IP/Port information inside Mosino. Add a new integration and select the Manufacturer “ICT”. This should display few fields. Fill in the information and press “Add+”.
Other important configurations:
Integration Type: BLE or WebAPI:
BLE is used for Bluetooth GX keys
WebAPI is used for all online GX keys. These are the keys that can unlock the door from anymore, without being present on site.
Integration URL: enter the SOAP Web service address
Username/Password of the Mosino Operator with Admin access
Site ID/Controller ID
