Troubleshooting

Starting Multiple Access Control Gateways (ACGs)

Error: Unable to connect to WMI (root\OnGuard).

If this error was received, do the following:

Create a user account in the Lenel database.
Link the NT resource account created for it.
Set up the ACG service to run using the same account.
Check all the permissions on the Bold Tech folders and files. If any are set to Read-only, clear the setting.

NOTE: Sensor information is received from Lenel, for example, 8-1. The first number represents the reader address and the second number is either auxiliary input 1 or 2. But, 8 does not necessarily represent the 8th possible physical reader position on the board - it represents the order in which the reader was programmed on the panel. So, to determine the program zones with two or more physical ports assigned, a test will have to be run to see what data comes back from Lenel to determine address assignments.
