*The IP address of the board is effectively static and is assigned via MAC address.
*The board occasionally hangs and AD2RFID times out after 1 minute of not receiving a reply from the board and waits for the next scheduled job to try again.
*Glue and the domain controller must be running for the data transfer process from WA to the board to work correctly.

There is an old HP (add specs) Windows XP machine that was added to the PS1 domain (called RFID-2) that pulls user information from an SQL database on a VM called RFID2 and pushes that information to all the door controllers with a piece of software called Professional Door Control Management. You can remote into this machine using Windows Remote Desktop using rfid-2.ad.pumpingstationone.org.
