ID. RS-485 bus Totality of all ekey home/multi devices which are networked serially via a 2-core cable, including the ekey home converter LAN RS-485 User Datagram Protocol. The User Datagram Protocol is used to send unique data packets to applications on the network.
Life-threatening danger resulting from electricity DANGER All ekey home devices are to be operated with safety extra-low voltage (SELV). Only use power supplies rated protection class 2 according to VDE 0140-1 to supply ekey home devices. Failure to do so will create a risk of electrocution.
Requirements for the user No particular skills or knowledge are needed to use the ekey home or ekey multi system with LAN RS-485 converter. No alterations or servicing should be carried out after the system has been correctly commissioned by qualified personnel, unless the fundamental system properties (network structure, addressing, etc.) change.
Ethernet network. A receiver (data sink) can interpret this data packet and set a defined event. The converter supports three protocol types: rare, home, and multi. Configuration of the protocol type and the network settings is carried out using the ekey home converter LAN config software.

Calculating the address of the finger scanner The serial number of the finger scanner is required to calculate the address. This can be found on the label attached to the finger scanner. The serial number is composed of multiple parts: Part no.
Structure of a data packet with the home protocol The home protocol can only be used in ekey home systems. Data packets are created for each recognized finger and every time a refusal takes place at the finger scanner. The data fields within the data packet are ASCII-encoded.
Structure of a data packet with the multi protocol The multi protocol can only be used in ekey multi systems and is essential for this system. Data packets are sent for each recognized finger or each time a refusal takes place at the finger scanner, and when the digital input is enabled.
