    Contact Us Introducing the TX3-CX Card Access System The TX3-CX Card Access System is part of the Mircom suite of products that provide building ready monitoring, control and integrated security solutions for use in the high end multi-tenant residential market.

  • Page 6: Applications

    Applications Mircom's Card Access System consists of a controller, two card readers and configuration software. The controller can accept at the same time, a combination of card readers with different formats to control two access points or doors. The Card Access System can set elevator usage if elevator controls are used.

  • Page 7: Configurable Features

    Welcome The Card Access System integrates with the TX3 Telephone Access system by utilizing a common network for both Telephone Access and Card Access Systems. A PC provides configuration and on-line monitoring of the Card Access System and the Telephone Access System status. Once the system is configured, the PC is not required.
  • Page 8 Welcome The TX3 Configurator software can connect to any of these network configurations. How you connect to the network (that is, through TCP/IP, USB, a modem, or the COM port) determines what devices you can configure on the network using the TX3 Configurator. The different network configurations are explained in the rest of this section.
  • Page 9 Welcome 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 device but not any other device.
  • Page 10 Welcome Figure 4 shows a Card Access System using an Ethernet network with RS-485 subnetworks. The Card Access Controllers connecting to a Master Node’s RS-485 subnetwork are Slave Nodes to the Master Node. Each RS-485 subnetwork can have up to 63 controllers connected to it; you can still have more than 63 Master Nodes connected to the Ethernet network.
