IMPORTANT INFORMATION W A R N I N G HIGH VOLTAGE, AC MAIN POWER SHOULD ONLY BE CONNECTED BY QUALIFIED, LICENSED ELECTRICIANS. ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND CODES MUST BE FOLLOWED. IF THIS PRECAUTION IS NOT OBSERVED, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR Power should not be applied to the system until after the installation has been completed.
AAN-32’s internal memory and does not rely on a constant connection to the host computer. Downloadable field devices are available as well that do not require constant connection to the controller to maintain functionality (e.g.
AAN-32 Hardware Manual General Features · Supports up to 32 card readers (either directly to intelligent card readers, or via Apollo AIM/API reader interfaces) · Up to 65,000 Cardholders or 25,000 Events with 2 MB of RAM · Supports Input to Relay linking across field devices ·...
AAN-32. Once programmed, the AAN-32 will continue to function without connection to the host. A record of all actions that happen while there is no connection is stored in the memory of the AAN (limited by the capacity of the memory) for reporting at a later time when connection with the host has been re-established.
Terminal Connectors The AAN-32 has one terminal block for connecting power, alarm inputs, and connection to field device lines. The connection terminals are factory equipped with removable screw-down quick connectors which are easily removed from the board by firmly grasping the connector and pulling away from the board. If pliers are used to remove the connectors, they should be of the rubber-tipped type.
DIP Switches The AAN-32 has two blocks of DIP switches, with 8 switches in each block. These switches are used to set various configuration options for the panel. The switches of SW1 are used for configuring the baud rate of device ports 3-6, and remain constant.
Memory Backup Battery Connection: J1 In the case of total power failure, the memory of the AAN-32 will be stored for up to 6 months (in basic configuration) by power supplied by 3 AA (LR6) size batteries. A battery holder with connector is supplied with the AAN.
SIMM Memory Module Socket: J9 The AAN-32 has one 72-pin socket which can contain either a AME-10 (1MB, part number 430-150) or AME-20 (2MB, part number 430-160) module, for a maximum 2 MB of storage of card codes and events.
Hardware Layout LEDs The AAN-32 has 3 LEDs for use in monitoring functioning of panel and for diagnosis of problems. The LEDs function in two modes: startup, and normal operation. Refer to the figure for exact location of the LEDs. The LEDs are also labeled on the circuit board with white lettering.
Power Power is supplied to the AAN-32 by the voltage connection in the main terminal block (see Part 2.1 for exact locations of terminals). The power connection should be 12-28 VDC. Power consumption is 300 mA with ASI-1 and 400 mA with ANI-1.
Thus, all system events are protected and will not be sent to a host that is not ‘ listening’, therefore losing events. The connection can be made either by serial connection (using Port 3) or, in the case of the AAN-32-NCC, by Ethernet (using ANI-1 or ANI-100 Network Interface Module).
3.3.1 Serial Using Port 3, the connection from the AAN-32 to the host can be made using RS-232 or RS-485 protocols. The choice to use RS-232 or RS-485 depends on many factors for the particular installation. The main differences are outlined below:...
Typically, the communication will be from a standard 16550 UART COM-port on a PC which will be connected directly to the AAN-32 in the case of RS-232 or through the use of an adapter or add-on PC card to achieve the RS-485 signal. The communications wiring must cross-over from the PC to the panel as shown in Figure 3.3.1.
3.3.2.1.1.3 Host Interface Connector The ANI-1 connects to the AAN-32 via the 68 pin socket of J1. The ANI-1 should be attached to the AAN-32 with the bare side down (connectors and LEDs visible). The installation/removal of these modules should be done with great care to avoid damaging the pins on the AAN-32.
TCP/IP interface at 100Mbps. The ANI-100 converts the output signal from the AAN-32 to TCP/IP packets and converts incoming packets, received from the host, into the proper signal. Note: To use the ANI-100 with the AAN-32, the AAN must have firmware revision R2 or later. 3.3.2.2.2 Hardware Layout...
The AN1-100 has 1 jack for Ethernet connection via an RJ-45 connector. The ANI-100 connects to the AAN-32 via the 68 pin socket of J1. The ANI-100 should be attached to the AAN-32 with the bare side down (connectors and DIP switches visible). The installation/removal of these modules should be done with great care to avoid damaging the pins on the AAN-32.

Apollo's website can be found at http://www.apollo-security.com For further questions regarding obtaining these utilities, contact your Apollo support representative. ANI-1/100 IP Programming The ANI-1 and ANI-100 each occupy one IP address in order to connect to the network and to the programming host.
InitAAN NOTE: In order to use the InitAAN utility for programming the ANI, ensure that you have the latest version which is available on Apollo's website at http://www.apollo-security.com. Older versions of InitAAN may not support programming the device. This method can be used to program the ANI-1 and ANI-100.

ANI-100. Default: TCP Connection Parameters (The following settings should not be used with the AAN-32) Host IP Address/Port: When auto-connect is enabled, this is the first host address of another ENI device which a connection will be established with. Set all values to '0' to disable this feature.
The AAN-32 Firmware is stored in an electronically programmable Flash memory. The AAN-32 controllers are shipped from factory with the latest released version of firmware pre-programmed. Changing the firmware in the AAN-32 should only be performed at the recommendation of and with the guidance of your Apollo Technical Support Representative.
