This guide explains how to connect and configure the UDS1100 Lantronix
converter with AEC2.1. When the UDS1100 converter’s Ethernet network
port is linked to AEC2.1 CPU LAN port, it provides an additional multi-drop
communication channel, RS485 to interface up to four 4 reader board and
four 8 input-output board. This document shows the connections to the
AEC2.1’s CPU and interface boards.
The UDS1100 converter support requires AEC2.1 firmware version 2.1.6.0
onwards. Please check our online AEC software upgrade at
http://www.boschsecurity.us/en-us/aec.

2 Installing UDS1100
The converter can be connected in two ways-either on a top of the reader
board next to CPU (refer to Figure 2.6) or place the converter on another
extension panel (refer to Figure 2.7).
For mounting the converter on the reader board follow the instructions
below:
1.Install two metal standoffs on the reader board.

Secure the metal plate by tightening the screws rotating in the direction
shown by the arrow in Figure 2.3.
3.Place and align the converter on the metal plate according to the
slots. Place the machine screw on the two allotted holes as shown in
Figure 2.4. Secure the converter by tightening the screws.

4.Connect the network cable and the serial cable(RS485) in the allotted
slots as shown in Figure 2.5. The RS485 serial cable is connected to
the AEC2.1’s reader or I/O board. The network cable of the converter
is connected to the LAN 2 port of the AEC2.1’s CPU.

3 Setting up the converter
The Bosch pre-configured device, AIM-AEC2.1-CVT does not require any
further configuration.
Do the following steps for advance setup:
1.If it is users defined/changing IP address to the converter follow steps
1 and 3.
2.If using original UDS1100 default setting from Lantronix, follow steps
1 to 3.
Step 1: The pre-configured IP address is 192.168.2.42 and the Subnet
Mask is 255.255.255.0. Users can manually assign an IP address to the
UDS1100, (refer to the Quick Start Guide from Lantronix).
Figure 3.1 Network settings
Login the UDS1100 via a web browser as shown in Figure 3.1, to reassign
the IP address. After changing the settings click on apply settings.If the
UDS1100 for AEC2.1 is from Bosch, it comes with pre-configured network
settings to RS485.

Step 2: Set the port settings and pack control in the serial settings page.
Select RS485-2wire in the protocol drop down box. The Baud Rate is
19200, Data bits is 8 and Stop bits is 2. The value for Flow Control and
Parity is set to none. The Idle Gap Time in the pack control is set to
12msec. Click on the apply settings.
