2.3.1 Device Port Communication Driver Socket
Port Communication Driver Socket: J4
For communication on the AAN-1/2, a communication module must be connected to the 12-pin socket. The
required module depends on the type of host connection:
Network Communication (AAN-1/2N) - In order to use network (TCP/IP) connection to the
software host, the AAN-1/2 should be equipped with an ENI-100 Network Interface device. This
allows connection to the network via the ENI's RJ-45 jack and a standard UTP Ethernet cable (the
RS-485 Host Communication Connection terminals are not used in this mode) . In this case, the
software host will need two pieces of information to communicate with the hardware: the IP address
of the ENI-100 Network Interface (Set by the ENI-100's internal webpage configuration) and the
Communication Address (set by DIP switches). The software will first search for the IP address and
then will use the Communication Address to find the specified device at that address. In this case
there is only one device connected, but it is nonetheless important that the Communication Address
is the same in the software as is set on the DIP switches.
Serial Communication (AAN-1/2S) - To use the AAN-1/2 in serial communication mode, a serial
driver must be connected to the driver socket. The communication driver module can be either
ASM-48 (RS-485, part number 430-131) or ASM-23 (RS-232, part number 430-132) depending on
the type of communication required on the port. The device is connected to the serial
communications line using the Host Communication Connection (see Table 2.1). If RS-232 is used,
one device may be connected to the line. If RS-485 is used, a maximum of 16 AAN-1/2s can be
connected on one communications line (each having a unique address from 0 to 31). NOTE:
AAN-1/2 controllers can NOT be used on the same serial communications line as an AAN-100
or AAN-32 controller.
Module Installation - The desired module should be installed so the long end extends towards the middle of
the board and the mounting holes provided on the AAN-1/2 and ASM or ENI align so a plastic stand-off and
screws can be attached to connect the holes. METAL SCREWS AND STANDOFFS SHOULD NOT BE
USED TO MOUNT THE ASM/ENI.
2.3.2 Additional Connectors
Additional Connectors/Jumpers: J2, J3
These connectors and jumpers are used for factory configuration and should not be modified or connected in
any way unless directed by your technical support.
2.4 LEDs
The AAN-1/2 has 2 LEDs for use in monitoring functioning of panel and for diagnosis of problems. The LEDs
function in two modes: startup and normal operation
2.4.1 Start Up Mode
Immediately after powering on the panel, the start-up test will initiate and the results will be displayed on the
LEDs. If there are no failures, the test will progress. If the panel encounters an error, it will stop with the failed
test and display the LED sequence corresponding to that test. The test sequence and the LED codes are:
Test D4 D5
ROM/Firmware ON OFF
RAM OFF ON
Test OK—Loading Config ON ON
