Connecting to Secure I/O 2
Secure I/O 2 is an I/O device, can be connected to BioStation L2 with the RS-485 cable. Security can be maintained even if the
connection between BioStation L2 and Secure I/O 2 has been lost or the power supply to BioStation L2 has been shut off due to
external factors.
•
Use an AWG24 twisted pair with a maximum length of 1.2 km for the RS-485 cable.
•
If connecting with a RS-485 daisy chain, connect the termination resistor
(120 Ω) to both ends of the daisy chain connection.
If connected to the middle line, the signal level becomes smaller and the communication performance will deteriorate. Make
sure to connect it to both ends of the daisy chain connection.
NOTE
•
BioStation L2 can be used as a multi-door controller with the slave devices with the RS485 cable. The slave devices are used as
dummy readers and authentication is performed in the master device.
•
If Xpass is connected to the master device, only card authentication can be used.
•
The maximum number of slave devices available to connect varies according to the authentication method, number of users, and
number of devices. Also note that the number of slave devices affects the fingerprint authentication speed.
•
A master device can control 31 slave devices. The bandwidth of RS485 allows for up to 7 fingerprint authentication devices to be
connected.
