Introduction
In this manual, unless otherwise stated, “AC-215” refers to both the regular
AC-215 and the UL-listed AC-215U models.
The AC-215 series of access control panels and the AxTraxNG™ PC software
are a combination that gives full control over the entrances of your premises.
The AxTraxNG software supports control for both single and double door
entrances, with which up to 1000 AC-215 access control units (ACUs) can be
monitored.
The AC-215 panels employ the latest technology to meet the requirements of
the market. They control one or two doors when used as a standalone
controller, and up to 64 doors per 32 controllers in a network and 5000 users
when used as a networked controller with the AxTraxNG software.
Table 1 summarizes the two AC-215 and AC-215U models and their respective
descriptions.

Software
The AxTraxNG software is user-friendly and intuitive. Its graphic interface is
used to define settings, which are downloaded to the ACU and event logs
which are uploaded to the PC to generate reports. A single server, which
communicates to and from the ACU, can serve unlimited network clients.
The system’s database is saved in the server. The database can be set to
backup and can import/export previous configurations. Clients are able to
modify the database, for example, define new employees and their access
permissions.
The software enables features to be added as and when they are required. The
modular software enables the user interface to be as powerful and strong as
required and yet remains simple to use. The software can be set for automatic
backup on a periodic basis.
AxTraxNG can be run on Windows 98, 2000, NT and XP.
For UL installations, the installer must configure the system as fail-safe to
comply with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) regulations.

3.1.1
Release to Exit Button (REX)
REX enables quick exit from a premises. The following should be defined:
Single door controller
Door 1 – IN1
Double door controller
Door 1 – IN 1
Door 2 – IN 2
Usually the REX input is connected to a push button that is located inside the
premises. The push button opens a door without reading a proximity card or
PIN code.
Generally, the REX is located in a convenient position such as near the
reception area, and is always set as enabled in the AxTraxNG software.
3.1.2
Door Monitor
The Door Monitor connects to a door’s micro switch for door status
monitoring. The following should be defined:
Single door controller
Door 1 – IN1A
Double door controller
Door 1 – IN 1A
Door 2 – IN 2A
Two alarm states can be generated:
Forced alarm – When the door is forcibly opened by unauthorized persons
Door held open alarm – When the door is open for a period exceeding the
lock strike programmed open time
A door held open alert can be generated by activating chime on speaker to
remind that the door should be close.
After the ACU enables access, the lock is activated according to its
programmed time until one of the following occurs:
The ACU stops lock activation immediately after the door opens
The ACU waits for the door to close. (This can help to reduce tailgating)
When the door open time period expires, the ACU ends lock activation.

Communications
Communication lines are used to upload and download information between
the ACU and the AxTraxNG software. Communication between the ACU and
PC is displayed by the system’s two LEDs.
The RX LED flashes when the controller receives data
The TX LED flashes when the controller transmits data
The ACU address is defined in the AxTraxNG software. For successful
communications, the dipswitch must be defined with the same address.
There are three connection modes:
Serial
RS-232
RS-485
Modem
LAN
5.1
Serial Connection
The PC Serial Port controlling the ACU is assigned in the Network Properties in
the AxTraxNG software. By default the default is set to 9600 for direct
connection to the PC using the standard RS-232 interface.

The RS-232 connection can only be used for one ACU. The distance between
the PC and ACU can be no more than 50 m (150 ft). If the baud rate is
increased to 57600 the distance can be up to 10 m (30 ft). J1 must be in the
RS-232 position to select the RS-232 communication.
5.1.2
RS-485 Connection to the PC
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.
all-guides
com
AC-215 Installation Manual
ACU supports the 2-wire RS-485 interface. RS-485 interface enables the
distance between the ACU and PC to be extended up to 1300 m (4000 ft). The
data line wiring must be in daisy chain formatting with one control unit
following another. The first ACU connecting to the PC must use the MD-14,
RS-485 to RS-232 adaptor.
The recommended cable type to be used is STP cat5 (shielded twisted pair
category 5). We recommend using a 20-24-AWG cable.
5.1.3
Daisy Chain
Communication lines must be wired in a daisy chain format with one ACU
following another. J1 must be in the RS-485 position.
J1 must be in the RS-485 position.
At each end of the data line a termination resistor of 100–120 Ω is required
across the L1 and L2 connections.
5.2
Modem
The PC modem connection, used to control the ACU, is assigned in the
AxTraxNG software’s Network Properties dialog box.
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.

The TCP/IP connection, used to control the ACU, is assigned in the AxTraxNG
software’s Network Properties dialog box.
The PC running the AxTraxNG software can communicate with the ACU
through the LAN card inside the PC. The ACU connects to the LAN using
Rosslare MD-N32, TCP/IP to RS-232 gateway converter. MD-N32 can be
connected in any legal network address in the Local Area Network.
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.
Figure 3: MD-N32 Configuration Connecting a Single Panel
Multiple ACUs can be connected by adding an RS-485 converter (MD-14)
between the RS-485 ACUs network and MD-N32 converter.

release mechanisms. Other electrical devices can be switched using the voltage
free relay contacts.
The output can provide 12 VDC power up to 1.5 A for external door locks. For
higher rated door locks an external UL 294 Listed power supply must be used
to provide power to the door lock.
For UL installations, the installer must configure the system as fail-safe to
comply with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) regulations.
