The Controller’s cloud configuration web pages allow configuration of specific Controller settings, including the Controller’s date/time and NTP server if needed.
To connect to the Controller’s cloud configuration web pages, there are two methods:
| Method | Procedure |
|---|---|
Navigate to the Controller's IP address
Find the IP address that has been assigned to the Controller by the local DHCP server.
Set DIP switch 1 to ON.
Connect a laptop/PC to the same network as the Controller.
Using a web browser, go to the Controller’s cloud configuration web page, replacing <ip_address> with the assigned IP address for the Controller:
http://<ip_address>/cloud/
The Sign In dialog displays.
Enter cloud for the username, then GGLcloud for the password and press Enter.
The Gallagher Cloud Controller Configuration web page displays.
Select the required link to configure the Controller as needed.
When finished, set DIP switch 1 to OFF.
Reset the Controller's IP address, then navigate to it
If you cannot find the Controller's DHCP IP address, the Controller can use the default IP address by powering it on with DIP switches 1, 2, and 3 ON. The Controller then uses the following default addresses:
Controller IP: 192.168.1.199
Gateway: 192.168.1.198
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Connect the Controller to your PC via the Controller's Ethernet port.
Set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to ON.
Power cycle the Controller.
Using a web browser from a PC on the same subnet as the Controller, enter the default IP address of the Controller as follows:
http://192.168.1.199/cloud/
The Sign In dialog displays.
Enter cloud for the username, then GGLcloud for the password and press Enter.
The Gallagher Cloud Controller Configuration web page displays.
Select the required link to configure the Controller as needed.
When finished, set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to OFF.
Installing the Gallagher SMB Kit hardware involves the following steps:
Install the cabinet
Install readers
Connect inputs and outputs
Connect power to the controller
Connect the controller to the cloud
Initialise tampers
For the full procedures for the above steps, refer to the appropriate SMB Kit installation note, depending on your region:
As an additional aid, you may also refer to the appropriate hardware installation video module, which contains mostly the same information as the SMB Base Kit installation note:
Refer to the relevant installation notes for any additional hardware components you need to install:
Permaconn PM54 (NZ/AUS only)
SMB Monitoring Kit (North America only)
Gallagher SMB HBUS I/O 8In Board (NZ/AUS only)
The following hardware components are compatible with the SMB solution:
About this topic
The Gallagher SMB Kit installation note contains the procedures for bringing the controller online. This topic contains information to surplus the installation note, in case further help is required.
Bringing the controller online
The Controller should be brought online before the site is configured in the SMB Installer Portal.
Connect the site's LAN (Ethernet cable) to the Router's secondary Ethernet port.
Power on the Controller and wait for for the Controller to show as Online in the SMB Installer Portal. To indicate the Controller has come online in the SMB Installer Portal, the word 'OFFLINE' will not display next to the Controller item on the 'HARDWARE' tab. The physical Controller also enters the single flash state when it comes online.
Once connected, the controller will receive any outstanding firmware updates from the Cloud server.
Check the site has an internet connection - plug the laptop into the network via ethernet and test the connection.
If the site does have internet connectivity, try the following:
Check the controller flash state (see below table)
Use cellular router instead, as a last resort
Controller Flash Modes
The 8 In 4 Out LED is located near the centre of the board. The 8 In LED is located above IN3.
| Flash | Pa | Meaning |

If the site is using a proxy server, this may also stop the controller from coming online.
To resolve this issue, you will need to connect a web browser to the Controller's configuration web pages and enter the proxy server's connection details.
When the Controller is powered up with DIP switches 2 and 3 ON, the Controller uses the following default addresses:
Controller IP: 192.168.1.199
Gateway: 192.168.1.198
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
This enables you to configure your PC with an IP address in the same subnet as the Controller, and by setting DIP switch 1 to ON, connect a web browser to the Controller. Your PC IP address should be different from the Controller's IP address, (i.e. not 192.168.1.199).
To enter the proxy server's connection details, perform the following procedure:
Connect the Controller to your PC via the Controller's Ethernet port.
Set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to ON.
Power cycle the Controller.
Enter cloud for the username, then GGLcloud for the password and press Enter. The Gallagher Cloud Controller Configuration web page displays.
Click the Proxy Server Configuration link. The Proxy Server Configuration web page displays.
Enter the proxy server's name, port number, and logon credentials (if required).
Click Save.
Set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to OFF.
Connect the Controller to the site's network.
Power cycle the Controller.
The proxy settings are persisted across Controller re-power.
To clear the proxy settings, set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to ON, then power cycle the Controller. Wait for the Controller's Run LED to enter a 2 flash pattern, then set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to OFF, and power cycle the Controller again.
If the site has a firewall, this may also stop the controller from coming online.
The customer will need to open the required ports/protocols to allow the controller to communicate to the internet through their firewall.
Destination Ports
Detailed below are the destination ports that the SMB Controller and router will try to connect to for various services.
SMB Controller:
Router:
If you need to clear the Controller's configuration, perform the following procedure:
Set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to ON.
Power cycle the Controller.
Wait a few minutes until the LED is flashing in a steady state (2 flash or 5 flash).
Set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to OFF.
Power cycle the Controller again.
The Controller can now be assigned to a new site.
The Controller works through the following steps:
The Controller requests an IP address using DHCP.
The DHCP server on the local area network assigns an IP address to the Controller, so it can send and receive TCP/IP messages from the Cloud server.
Most networks have a DHCP server. The Router provided has a DHCP server.
The Controller uses DNS to resolve the IP address for the Gallagher cloud services.
The Controller uses the SNTP to obtain the time.
The Controller establishes an HTTPS session with the Cloud server for encrypted communications.
The Controller authenticates the Cloud server. This ensures that site-specific data is only exchanged with the authentic Cloud server.
The Cloud server authenticates the Controller. This ensures that site-specific data is only exchanged with a Gallagher provisioned device.
The Controller connects to the site's local TCP/IP network. If required (i.e. TCP/IP network connectivity is unreliable), the Router can be used to provide connection to a mobile network provider. The router comes pre-equipped with a SIM card and an ethernet cable to connect it to the controller. Purchase of the Cellular data subscription package will automatically enable the controller to communicate over the cellular network.
The front optical tamper detector will sense when the cabinet door has been opened. The rear optical tamper detector will sense when the cabinet is removed from its mounting surface.
Initialising the tampers should be the last thing you do before you leave the site.
If you will be completing the Installer Portal (configuration app) configuration on-site, initialise the tampers just before you activate the site.
If you will be leaving the site and completing the Installer Portal configuration off-site, initialise the tampers now.
When you have finished wiring the devices and no longer need to access the cabinet:
Close and lock the cabinet door using the key provided.
Within the , open the site and click the Controller at the top of the hardware tree.
Within the Controller lightbox, select RESTART.
Using a web browser, enter the IP address of the Controller as follows: The Enter Network Password web page displays.
