Device configuration
The expander is configured within low level configuration by means of RogerVDM software. Such
configuration must be done prior to connection to MC16 access controller particularly in regard of RS485
address and reader parameters. The address of expander can also be programmed manually with jumpers
on expander’s board. The address programmed with jumpers (hardware address) has higher priority than
the address programmed with RogerVDM (software address). The factory new expander has ID=100
software address.
Addressing with jumpers
Every time the address is modified, the expander must be restarted with RST button or switching power
supply off and on.
