Ethernet interface
The communication between MC16 controller and PC is performed via LAN/WAN and it is encrypted
according to AES128 CBC. Communication key is defined by system operator.
In case of controller with firmware 1.3.2 and older two IP addresses i.e. service IP address and normal IP
address were used where Service IP address for low level configuration was stored in IP.ini file on memory
card and it could be modified by manual editing of IP.INI file. In firmware 1.4.2 and newer only single IP
address is used both for low level and high level configuration and there is no need to modify IP.ini file
manually on memory card. Factory default IP address of controller is 192.168.10.213 and it can be changed
with RogerVDM software within low level configuration.
Note: The device has an Ethernet network communication interface. In principle, the device can be used in
both WAN and LAN, while the manufacturer's warranty is covered only for operation in an isolated LAN
reserved exclusively for the access control system or other system in which the device is to be used.
RS485 bus
The communication of MCT and MCX series peripheral devices with MC16 access controller is provided
with RS485 bus which can encompass up to 16 of such devices, each with unique address in range of 100-
115. The bus topology can be freely arranged as star, tree or any combination of them except for loop. The
