• A stable internet connection (if cloud-based linking is needed).
• Necessary cables (if a wired connection is preferred).
• Access to the administrator settings for both devices.
• The latest firmware updates installed on both devices.

4. Step 1: Setting Up Your Hugolog Device

1. Unbox and Install: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to set up your Hugolog device securely.
2. Power On: Ensure the device is powered on and has a stable network connection.
3. Update Firmware: Check for firmware updates to prevent compatibility issues.
4. Perform Initial Setup: Configure the device settings, such as user authentication methods and access control parameters.

5. Step 2: Configuring the IPC Terminal

1. Access the Terminal’s Settings: Use the admin panel to configure basic network settings.
2. Enable Compatibility Mode: Some IPC Terminals require specific settings to work with Hugolog.
3. Test Connectivity: Ensure the IPC Terminal is properly connected to the local network or cloud system.
4. Set Up Access Control: Define user permissions and access levels as needed.

6. Step 3: Establishing a Connection

1. Open the Hugolog App or Web Interface.
2. Navigate to ‘Device Pairing.’
3. Select ‘Add New Device’ and choose IPC Terminal.
4. Enter Required Credentials.
5. Click ‘Connect’ and wait for confirmation.
6. Verify Pairing: Ensure the connection is stable and both devices recognize each other.

7. Step 4: Testing the Connection

After linking the devices, test the connection by:

• Checking if Hugolog responds to IPC Terminal commands.
• Monitoring access logs in the IPC Terminal.
• Running a manual test by unlocking/locking a door.
• Verifying remote access functionality if applicable.

15. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What should I do if my Hugolog device fails to connect to the IPC Terminal?

Ensure both devices are updated to the latest firmware, check network settings, and restart both devices. If the issue persists, reset the connection settings and try again.

2. Can I connect multiple Hugolog devices to one IPC Terminal?

Yes, most IPC Terminals support multiple device connections. You will need to configure each Hugolog device separately through the admin panel or app.

3. Is an internet connection required to link Hugolog with an IPC Terminal?

It depends on the type of connection. If using a cloud-based link, an internet connection is necessary. However, for a local network setup, an internal LAN connection should suffice.
