Communications
Communication lines are used to upload and download information between
the AC-825IP panel and the AxTraxNG server using an IP network.
6.1
TCP/IP Network Connection
The computer running the AxTraxNG server can communicate with the access
control panels via an IP network. The connection settings are controlled within
the AxTraxNG Client software.
AC-825IP panels connect to the IP network using an onboard network module.
6.1.1
LAN and WAN Requirements
The devices can be connected to an IP network using any valid network
address.
Figure 29 illustrates the connection of a single AC-825IP to a computer via a
LAN network.
Figure 29: Connecting Multiple AC-825IP Panels to the AxTraxNG Server
The maximum distance from the Ethernet port of the panel to the LAN
connection is 99.97 m (328 ft).
When the IP connection is implemented over a WAN, it is then possible to
communicate with the panel via the Internet with an AxTraxNG client, allowing
multiple access controllers worldwide to be reached.
Before connecting a panel by an IP connection for the first time, the AxTraxNG
software must configure the device. Settings are then stored in the device (see
the
AxTraxNG Software Manual for further details
).
