This is the most common configuration. It uses RS232 between the
PC and a 4232, 4230 or 4235 Communications module in the first
Controller. All Controllers are linked to the Comms module on a
multidrop RS485 connection. Such a system can manage up to 32
Controllers and a maximum of 16 doors with the 4232 Comms
module, 64 doors with the 4230 Comms module, or 256 doors with
the 4235 Comms module.
