Figure 2 Aperio Door Controller System Using An Rs-485 Network; Figure 3 Aperio Door Controller System Using An Ethernet Tcp/Ip Network. Controllers Connected To An Ethernet Network Are Master Nodes - Mircom TX3 Series Installation And Operation Manual

Figure 2 shows a network with two Aperio Door Controllers over an RS-485
network, each with one Aperio hub and two wireless devices. The Aperio Door
Controller System can have up to 63 controllers networked together on an RS-
485 network. If you connect to any of the controllers using a modem, USB, or
COM port with the TX3 Configurator, you can configure any of the devices on
the RS-485 network using the TX3 Configurator software.
Aperio Door Controller
Figure 3 shows a configuration with Aperio Door Controllers connected to an
Ethernet TCP/IP network. This configuration removes the 63 device limitation
that you have in an RS-485 network. The devices connected to an Ethernet TCP/
IP network are called Master Nodes. If you connect to the TCP/IP network with
the TX3 Configurator, you can connect to and configure any of the Master Nodes
on the Ethernet TCP/IP network. If you connect directly to one of the Master
Nodes using USB, a modem, or a COM port, you will be able to configure that
Master Node but not any other Master Node.
