The installation and setup must be done by a qualified technician. The technician
is responsible for installing all of the system components, connecting all of the
input and output wiring for the appropriate door entry systems, and ensuring that
the wiring adheres to the requirements of the system for proper operation using
the configurator software.
The following are the PC requirements:
• Dual core processor
• 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM
• Windows XP or later
• USB Connection
The Card Access System can consist of either stand-alone Card Access
Controllers or networked Card Access Controllers. Networked Card Access
Controllers can communicate over an RS-485 network, an ethernet TCP/IP
network, or a combination of an ethernet network with RS-485 subnetworks. All
Card Access Controllers can communicate over RS-485. To communicate over
an ethernet network you need at least one IP-enabled Card Access Controller
(called a Master Node).
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.
Figure 1 shows a basic Card Access System with one Card Access Controller and
two card readers. The maximum distance between the Card Access Controller
and the card readers is 500 feet.
