Contact Closure FAQ

Contact Closure

Is it possible to install Contact Closure on an EMC?

No. The Contact Closure cannot be installed on an EMC. It can only be installed on an on-prem Manage  as the Contact Closure needs to obtain the IP address from an on-prem Manage. The EMC  gets its IP address from the customer network.

Can you program a Contact Closure to Manage if the Contact Closure is getting DHCP from a customer network? 

No. The Contact Closure must get the IP address from an on-prem Manage DHCP.  This applies to all models: Manage, Midrange Manage, Enterprise Manage. 

How many of the Contact Closure devices can be configured to Manage?

Up to a maximum of ten Contact Closures can be connected to a Manage via the Gateway network to one of the Ethernet ports on the PoE Switch. Refer to the Contact Closure Spec Sheet.

Is the Contact Closure shipped with a power adapter?

Yes. The Barionet 50  contact closure is shipped with a 24V power supply. Refer to www.barix.com.
