Knowledge base 136: Changing a Downstream (RS-485) iNet into a Master iNet.
This document explains how to change an iNet door controller from being on the RS-485 bus into a Master controller. In the following screenshots, the downstream iNet with bus address #1 on the “Ground
Floor” Master will be changed to a Master called “New Controller”

3) Use iNet Configurator to set its IP Address. More information on how to do this can be found on the following video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANCKpQlRkKQ

the iNet and connect it to the IP network.
5) Add
the New Controller in Identity Access and configure it as normal.
