So if using the Convexs/Invexs with e.g. RS485 it can be connected to AEOS version before 2.2.0 or 2.1.7. If the
configuration of the Convexs/Invexs differs from default this configuration must be loaded using a configuration
card (using firmware APx003
rs485NR)
Remark: Check always the AEOS release notes for detailed information and the Know Problems in chapter 11.

Known problems
11.1.
Convexs/Invexs to AP1002
In case the Convexs/Invexs reader is connected to an AP1002 (both Nedap RF data and Nedap RF badge) the
potentiometer for the transmitter level must be set to minimum. Otherwise detection can be intermittend.
11.2.
Convexs/Invexs to Nedap readers with AM badges
In case the Convexs/Invexs reader is connected to Nedap readers (e.g. AP4001 or AP1001) with output
Nedap
RF badge
the AM badges (A, B, C, D, G codes) will not be read on the Nedap reader. In this cases use as output
the
Nedap RF data
.
11.3.
Convexs/Invexs to AP4003 using RS485
Using
rs485NR
firmware: Connecting the Convexs/Invexs to the 4000 series using rs485NR can
only
to the
AP4003X (and AP4803X), so
not
to AP4003 (or AP4803). The AP4x03X requires at least kernel 3.10 and
corresponding firmware. For the AP4x03 (with kernel version 2) connecting the Convexs/Invexs with RS485
using the rs485NR firmware is
NOT
possible.
This is solved with the
rs485NR
2
firmware. This firmware is suitable for both AP4x03 and APx03X (and
AP1003, AP6003)
Check always the version of firmware for the AEpu (see
Remarks
at chapter 10).
11.4.
Convexs/Invexs to AP4003 using RS485 Tamperswith / PIN
If
rs485NR
is used, the Tamperswitch and PIN at the Convexs/Invexs is only available at the AP1003 with
RS485, not at the AP4000 series.
Advisable is to use the
rs485NR
2
protocol, supporting these features on AP4003 series.
11.5.
Convexs/Invexs to AP4x03X series before production code W2 using RS485
The first series of AP4803X and AP4003X (Production codes before W2) will put this AEpack out of order after
uploading the Convexs/Invexs configurations and/or firmware to the Convexs/Invexs (or Nedap Readers), when
using the RS485NR protocol.
Solution for this is to replace this AEpacks. (These AEpacks can be used for other protocols without problems.)
AP4x03X produced before June 2009 could sometimes have communication problems on the RS485 line. Due to
this the Convexs/Invexs can malfunction.
11.6.
Invexs with display / screen
Invexs MNKS with display is only available on request, depending on the application to be used (what
information must be shown on the screen).
