The ACU address is defined in the AxTraxNG software. For successful communications, the dipswitch must be defined with the same address. Table 4 displays the 32 address settings available: Table 4: Available Panel Addresses Address Switch 4 Switch 5 Switch 6 Switch 7 Switch 8 AC-215 Installation Manual...
Up to 32 ACUs can be linked together and connected to a single communication port on the PC. The RS-485 interface must be used when multiple controllers are connected. The serial port used to control the ACU is assigned in the AxTraxNG software Network Properties dialog box. AC-215 Installation Manual...
The modem is used when the distance between the ACU and the PC is greater than the recommended serial connection distance or in an application where an alternative RS-232/RS-485 network is unavailable. Figure 2 illustrates remote site modem configuration with AC-215. Figure 2: Remote Site Modem Configuration For more information, see Appendix B.
The following type of connection is used when a LAN network already exists and therefore the long RS-485 network is not required. This schematic illustrates the connection of a single AC-215 to the PC using the LAN network. MD-N32 must be first configured by Rosslare's Netconfig software. The setting is stored in a non-volatile memory in the MD-N32.
Wiring Wiring General Wiring Diagram Figure 5 illustrates the general wiring layout of the AC-215. Figure 5: Wiring For UL installations, the following signal lines are not allowed to be run outside of the protected area: • 12 VDC 1.5 A + and (-) •...
Wiring Inputs Figure 6 illustrates wiring for four AC-215 inputs. For further details, see Chapter 3. Figure 6: Wiring Four AC-215 Inputs Outputs Figure 7 and Figure 8 illustrate wiring for two main types of 12 VDC electric release mechanisms. Other electrical devices can be switched using the voltage free relay contacts.
Wiring 6.3.1 Power Supply Figure 9 illustrates wiring between the PS-14 power supply and the AC-215. It is recommended to add a 12 VDC lead acid backup battery to backup power if the main fails. If the main output is 12 VDC, wire it to the (PS-14); otherwise support your power supply according to output requirements.

When extending cable distance be careful with the color of the cable cover. The distance is limited by the Wiegand standard. Figure 11: Reader Cable Coloring Key: Black Green White G.LED Brown Tamper Purple AC-215 Installation Manual...
Connect the AC-215's RS-485 outlet to MD-14 4 wires cable. Make sure that J1 (on the AC-215) is set to RS-485 Mode. If the jumper was not set properly, make the change, turn the power of AC-215 off, wait few seconds and turn it on.
Connecting between MD-N32 and AC-215 MD-N32 Configuration with AxTraxNG To configure the MD-N32: Add a new network using the AxTraxNG software (for more details, see the AxTrax user manuals.) The network type should be selected as TCP/IP. Configuration Click the tab and wait until "searching"...

Connecting between MD-N32 and AC-215 10. Click OK twice and verify that the configuration was accepted by the AxTraxNG software. The MD-N32 and AxTraxNG software are now configured ready for testing. From this stage, you can continue working per the procedure for adding a new panel to the AxTraxNG.
Make sure that the power LED (Red) is on. Connect the MD-N33's DB11 jack to telephone wall mount using the telephone cable. Connect MD-N33's DB9 female jack to MD-14's DB9 female jack. Connect the AC-215's RS-485 outlet to the MD-14 4-wire cable. AC-215 Installation Manual...
Connecting between MD-N33 and AC-215 Make sure that J1 (on the AC-215) is set to RS-485 Mode. If the jumper was not set properly, make the change, turn the power of AC-215 off, wait few seconds and turn it on.
Connecting between MD-N33 and AC-215 PC Modem – Configuration and Initialization Configuration Modem configuration Click the tab to get the screen. In the Dialing section: In the "Remote modem phone number" field, enter the destination telephone number to call. Change the "number of dial attempts" as needed.
Connecting between MD-N33 and AC-215 If a failure message appeared, check the modem connections and repeat the last steps. Remote Modem – Configuration and Initialization To configure a remote modem: Click the Remote modem tab to configure the remote modem.
Connecting between MD-N33 and AC-215 Set the number of rings before the PC modems will answer. Connect the remote modem to the PC via the selected com port and click Apply to initialize the PC modem. Click OK for the successful initialization.
Restoring Factory Default Configuration If you forgot the existing password, there is an option to return AC-215 to factory default (with password: AxTrax) Returning to factory default changes also all the doors and readers configuration to factory default and clears all the users' properties.
