6. Communications
Communication lines are used to upload and download information between
the access control panel and the AxTraxNG™ software. When the access
control panel and the computer are communicating, the system’s two LEDs
flash accordingly.
 The RX LED flashes when the controller receives data
 The TX LED flashes when the controller transmits data
The access control panel address is defined in the AxTraxNG™ software.
It is important that the DIP switch and the software are set to the same
address.
There are three connection modes:
 Serial Network (RS-232 or RS-485)
 Modem Network
 TCP/IP Network
6.1 Serial Network Connection
The computer serial port controlling the access control panel is set from within
the AxTraxNG™ software. The default is 9600 bps for direct connection to the
computer.
When using an RS-232 connector, only one access control panel can be linked
to each communication port on the computer. Use an RS-485 if you wish to
connect more than one panel on one communication port.
The J1 switch must be in the correct position to select the RS-232
communication.
6.1.1 RS-232 Connection to the Computer
Set the J1 switch to the RS-232 position.
