Additional Controller Programming
This section outlines additional controller programming requirements and options.
Programming the Onboard Reader
The onboard reader is programmed in exactly the same way as any other reader module. It can be thought of as if
it were a normal reader expander module on a separate circuit board. The onboard reader of a Protege WX
controller is programmed as a reader expander with an address of 1.
Two-Door Controllers
For two-door controllers, the onboard reader uses inputs 1-4 and 5-8 as its door contact, REX, bond sense and
REN inputs respectively.
The default settings are shown in the following table:
Input Access Control Function Default Setting
Input 1 Door Contact, Port 1 Door Contact, Port 1
Input 2 REX Input, Port 1 REX Input, Port 1
Input 3 Bond Sense, Port 1 General Purpose Input
Input 4 REN Input, Port 1 General Purpose Input
Input 5 Door Contact, Port 2 Door Contact, Port 2
Input 6 REX input, Port 2 REX Input, Port 2
Input 7 Bond Sense, Port 2 General Purpose Input
Input 8 REN Input, Port 2 General Purpose Input
One-Door Controllers
For one-door controllers, the onboard reader uses inputs 1 and 2 as its door contact and REX respectively.
The default settings are shown in the following table:
Input Access Control Function Default Setting
Input 1 Door Contact, Port 1 Door Contact, Port 1
Input 2 REX Input, Port 1 REX Input, Port 1
Any inputs that are not configured for use with the onboard reader may be used as general purpose inputs. If you
wish to use an access control input as a general input, you will need to disable the associated function input in the
door programming section of the Protege user interface.
