Topic: Setting the Power Reader Select jumper to the appropriate configuration to allow power to the reader.
Summary: The Series 3 access control panel’s jumper setting is utilized differently than previous series boards. By default, the Power Reader Select jumper is in the 12V position. If powering a 12-volt reader, the Power Reader Select jumper must be set to pass through (PASS/PT). This allows power to pass-through the input voltage of the control panel. Readers that require different voltage or have high current requirements should be powered separately.

Applies To: SSP-LX controllers.
Issue: SSP-LX controllers running firmware version 1.22.9 are having trouble directly upgrading the controller’s firmware to version 1.26 or higher.
Solution: Download and run two separate installers on the DNA Fusion server to upgrade the firmware in increments. The installer links are included in this technical bulletin. Upgrade the SSP-LX controller to firmware version 1.25.7.087 after downloading the first installer. Then download the second installer to enable upgrades to version 1.26 or later versions.
Summary: SSP-LX controllers running on the firmware version 1.22.9 are having trouble directly upgrading to firmware version 1.26 or higher. Upgrade the SSP-LX controller to firmware version 1.25.7.0687 and then the controller’s firmware can be upgraded to version 1.26 or higher. In addition to the incremental firmware updates, two installers are required to complete the upgrade.

Topic: Unknown Event Received at Driver displays when using Mercury hardware based elevator control
Applies to: Elevator control using Mercury hardware and DNA Fusion
Summary: The “Unknown Event received at Driver” event is displayed when an elevator is being accessed. The event does not indicate an error or affect functionality, however disabling the event from appearing on the Events Grid is an option until version 7.6 is available. In the interim, the event can be disabled from displaying in the Event Grid. Additional elevator access information will be populated with the release of DNA Fusion 7.6
Resolution: Download the full technical bulletin below for instruction on how to disable the event from the Event logging Editor in DNA Fusion. This will prevent the event description from showing up on the Event Grid. Once DNA Fusion 7.6 has been released, Open Options recommends upgrading the system and re-enabling the event.
