6.3 Modem Network Connection
Access control panels can be controlled from the computer's modem. The
modem is assigned from within the AxTraxNG™ software.
Use a modem when the access control panel is too far from the computer to
use a serial connection and an alternative RS-232/RS-485 network or TCP/IP
network is unavailable.
The following diagram illustrates remote site modem configuration with AC-
215IP.
