Location of Administration Terminal or Printer
For installation purposes, it is simplest if the RPSD Lock or Key administration
terminal or printer is in the same area as the Lock or Key. If the terminal or printer
must be located at some distance from the Lock or Key (in another room, on
another floor, etc.), the limitations of the EIA-RS232 interface must be
considered.
To overcome the RS-232 restrictions, adjust the baud rate of the administration
terminal or other equipment connected to the AUX. PORT as follows:
■
Cables of 0 to 50 feet—a maximum 9600 bps
■
Cables of 50 to 100 feet—a maximum of 4800 bps
■
Cables of 100 to 2000 feet—a maximum of 2400 bps
!
CAUTION:
To minimize noise induction, cable distance should not exceed 50 feet.
Set the link speed by using the Set Communications Parameters command from
the Menu of Commands. See Chapter 3, “RPSD System Administration” for
details on using this command with the RPSD Lock or Chapter 4, “Key
Administration and Use” for details on using this command with the RPSD Key.
