Dormakaba 75428-000-01 - E-Plex Wall Mount Gatway/Router, Includes Bracket
An E-Plex Gateway/Router provides two-way communication from an E-Plex Lock or Stand-alone Controller to the system's central server or PC. A Gateway communicates to the server by either a direct connection to a USB (non-network) or Ethernet cable (network). A Router acts as a repeater, extending the radio frequency (RF) communication between the
Gateway and E-Plex Locks.

Dormakaba 75428-000-01 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Dormakaba 75428-000-01 ship as a Gateway or as a Router?
It leaves the factory configured as a Router. If you need it to act as a Gateway, you reconfigure it in the E-Plex software. Same hardware, so one part number covers both roles.
2) What is the difference between an E-Plex Gateway and a Router?
A Gateway is the piece that talks to your central server or PC, either over USB (non-network) or an Ethernet drop. A Router is a repeater only, extending the RF link between the Gateway and the locks over ZigBee wireless. The Router needs nothing but power, so it goes wherever you have a coverage gap.
3) How many E-Plex locks can one Gateway handle, and how many routers can I add?
One Gateway network supports 100 locks, with up to eight Routers per Gateway. Each Gateway or Router carries 25 locks in range, so you size the Router count by where the locks sit, not just by total door count.
4) Do I need to pull a network drop for every E-Plex access point?
No. For 100 locks or fewer you can run the Gateway in USB mode straight to a PC and skip network drops entirely. Routers never need a drop at all, they run ZigBee wireless and only need power. Ethernet is an option on the Gateway if you'd rather put it on the network.
5) Does the 75428-000-01 come with a wall mounting bracket?
Yes, the wall mount kit includes the bracket. The E-Plex unit is also offered as a desktop kit, so if you're putting it on a server room shelf rather than a wall, order the desktop version instead.
6) What happens to the E-Plex wireless network if one router drops out?
The E-Plex RF network is a mesh with redundancy. It uses hops between units and auto recovery, so traffic reroutes through another path rather than stranding the locks behind a failed unit. Worth planning overlapping router coverage on larger sites for that reason.
7) Will this work with a standalone E-Plex controller, or only with the locks themselves?
Both. The unit provides two-way communication from either an E-Plex lock or a stand-alone controller back to the central server or PC.
8) Is this Dormakaba gateway meant for commercial buildings or homes?
It's a commercial-duty piece, part of the Dormakaba E-Plex access control line. Typical use is multi-family, offices, schools and similar facilities running banks of E-Plex electronic locks off a central PC or server.
