Hardware Installation Overview
This interface program is an EZcall client application that is a client to a DCS server, and a client to a GuardRFID (TotGuard, AllGuard, or SafeGuard) Argus server.
The EGW application is designed to work with the Argus server and will not function with a GuardRFID @Guard system.
Hardware Installation Overview
confidential
Hardware Installation Overview
To use the EGW you simply need a GuardRFID Argus server. The EGW will link to the Argus server to retrieve tag, and location information, and may also be used to retrieve alarms from the Argus server in real-time.- You will need to know the Argus Administrator’s username and password to allow the EGW to connect to it.
- Please refer to the TotGuard, SafeGuard or AllGuard installation manual for installation of the GuardRFID RTLS system.
- The EGW will only need to be on the same LAN/WAN network as the Argus server for integration, no other physical connection is required.

This box turns red to indicate when this connection is offline Then set the Argus servers’ IP address and port to connect to, & the Argus admin username & password (NOTE: The integration port is: 8888)
Then click this box to connect to the Argus server
This box turns green to indicate that it is online with the Argus server
NOTE: It may take up to several minutes NOTE: It may take up to several minutes to complete the connection with an Argus to complete the connection with an Argus server, since it synchronizes all of the data server, since it synchronizes all of the data from the Argus serverfrom the Argus server
If you get this authentication error, then If you get this authentication error, then your admin username and password are your admin username and password are wrong or the Argus server is not licensed wrong or the Argus server is not licensed
