AXS-100 Slave Controller
For AXS-100 and AXS100XT Access Control Systems
Installation Guide
Introduction
The AXS-100 Slave Controller is a cost effective solution that
extends AXS-100 or AXS100XT access control system
functionality up to 16 doors on a single RS-485 data loop using
any combination of up to *8 ‘Master’ or ‘Slave’ controllers.
Each AXS-100 slave controller operates in real-time with
distributed intelligence and a full mirror database for offline
conditions. Should a communication failure occur between any of
the slaves and the master controller or between the master
controller and the host computer, each AXS-100 slave controller
will continue to function normally with no degradation in
performance and response times of card reading, alarm
activation or activation of logic events. Each AXS-100 slave can
also monitor the status of the protected doors (open or closed)
and the status of the door locks (locked or unlocked).
Initial system configuration is programmed via the master
controller’s keypad. Functionality such as event log access, card
holder programming and/or mode updates are handled via EIRIS
V4.6 (or higher) or AXSalert enterprise software.
*One ‘Master controller’ is required for each RS-485 data loop.
CAUTION: It is important that you read, understand, and
follow the instructions in this document. If you have
questions, call your local VT support representative.
