Introduction
1.1.2 Elevator Restriction Units
The TX3-ER-8 or TX3-ER-8-A Elevator Restriction Units limit building
accessibility by granting visitor access only to the destination floor.
1.1.3 Other Controllers
Other Mircom controllers, such as the Elevator Restrictor Unit and the Card
Access controller, may be networked with the Lobby Control Unit. The network
options include a peer-to-peer RS-485 network, an ethernet TCP/IP network, or a
combination ethernet TCP/IP network with RS-485 subnetworks. See
Networking TX3 Panels on page 44 for more information.
Notes: In order for a panel to connect to an ethernet TCP/IP network, it
must satisfy the following conditions.
• It must be IP capable. Panels that are IP capable are usually
denoted by a “-A” or “-B” at the end of their model names.
• If the panel is not a Touch Screen, it must have a TX3-IP IP
Module installed.
