Communicating with the Access Network
Local Connecting with AccessBase2000
After opening the AccessBase2000 application, go to the network
settings screen and set each active network to connect using the virtual
COM port number (COM2 - COM8) that was setup to communicate with
its LIN-501C module.
Local Connecting with AXNET
Create a Windows direct connect network when setting up for AXNET
communications. Be sure to select the virtual COM port number assigned
to the LIN-501C module for the "Communications Cable Between Two
Computers" setting. Be sure to configure the port speed to 38400 bps.
Remote Connecting with AccessBase2000
After opening the AccessBase2000 application, go to the network
settings screen and set each active network to connect using the virtual
COM port number (COM2 - COM8) that was setup to communicate with
the router's external IP address and module's public port number.
✓ NOTE: In existing installations, it is not recommended to
connect with AccessBase2000 remotely on a separate setup
PC. The installation's database in the local PC could get
overwritten, causing LOSS OF ALL CARDHOLDER DATA and
other programming! Always backup installation data!
Remote Connecting with AXNET
Create a Windows direct connect network when setting up for AXNET
communications. Be sure to select the virtual COM port number that was

After the network connection is made and connected, use an Internet
