configuration must be done prior to connection to MC16 access controller particularly in regard of RS485
address, IP address, port, communication key and APERIO devices parameters.
Low level configuration with RogerVDM software
Switch power supply off.
Short CLK and DTA lines.
Restore power supply (all LED flashing) and wait min. 5s.
Remove connection between CLK and DTA lines (LEDs stop flashing, LED8 is ON).
