IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE: The legacy Linear access control Models AE-1000, AE1000Plus, AE-2000, AE2000Plus, AM3, and AM3Plus are of a different hardware and software design and CANNOT be used in networks mixed with the new generation Models EN-2A4 / EN-2M4, EN-2A7 / EN-2M7, EN-2A10 / EN-2M10 and EXN.
Preparing for the Network To allow for the EN Series unit to be recognized on the local network, it is necessary to change the controller’s IP address. Connect your programming computer directly to the Ethernet port of the controller. Assign a static IP address of 192.168.0.149 to the computer. (For instructions on how to change the static IP address of a Windows computer, please visit: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff 710457).

Identifying the Server and Client EN Series units provide the ability to add additional controllers to expand the amount of doors, inputs, and outputs. These additional controllers are referred to as clients. A client can be mounted on top of the main controller (server) or in a separate enclosure. IP Installer is a utility located on a thumb drive shipped with all systems.
