In this mode, the configuration software downloads all configuration to the CDC4
door controller through Advisor Advanced control panel.
Since the Advisor Advanced is responsible for the distribution of users, door
groups etc. to CDC4, the numbers allowed are limited, as shown in Table 6 on
page 45.
History events, alarms, and CDC4 status are sent from CDC4 to the Advisor
Advanced panel.
Note: Inputs will only register alarms in the Advisor Advanced panel if they are
mapped to Advisor Advanced inputs. See the āInput and output mappingā section
on page 66 for information on Advisor Advanced input mapping.
Extended mode
Extended mode allows software to communicate with CDC4 directly via IP rather
than through an Advisor Advanced panel, while retaining the alarm control and
reporting functionality of a CDC4 in Standard mode.
