3 Overview of Access Easy Controller 2.1

The basic AEC2.1 system consists of a single metal enclosure with three components: CPU, 4- Reader board, and Power Supply Unit (PSU). Space is provided for a 12-volt standby battery to sustain the system in event of a power failure. The PSU in the controller has an input power of 100~240 VAC.

The enclosure is key locked and is equipped with a tamper switch to detect any tampering of the panel, and/or when the controller door is being opened.

Figure 3.1: AEC2.1 Main Enclosure

In its minimum configuration, an AEC2.1 system supports one 4-Reader board. The board comes with, 4 card reader, 8 input, and 8 output ports to support all necessary hardware (door lock/strike outputs, door contact inputs and request-to-exit inputs). A full AEC2.1 system supports up to a maximum of 16 interface boards (eight 4-Reader boards and eight 8- IO boards). This allows the AEC2.1 system to support up to 32 card readers, 64 alarm type input and 64 controllable output points.

CPU Board - The CPU board contains a microprocessor, RAM memory and all necessary electronic circuitry to interact with other circuit boards. The CPU board contains the hardware and software needed to interface to an Ethernet-type network and to communicate with host computers using TCP/IP protocol.

4-Reader Board - The 4-Reader board is an interface board for AEC2.1. The reader board contains all circuitry necessary to interface with, and operate, up to four card readers. The reader board also provides wiring termination points for the readers, door strikes or magnetic

locks, door contacts and request-to-exit devices. The first interface board of the system communicates with the CPU board via the RS232 channel. The subsequent interface boards are linked through a multi-drop communication channel, RS485, to form the system. The PSU supplies the required 12V DC power to the board.

8-Input-Output Board -The 8-IO board is an interface board for AEC2.1. The 8-IO board provides the necessary circuitry to monitor 8-alarm type (non-reader) inputs, and to control up to eight external devices, such as bells, fans, lights, etc. The board also provides wiring termination points for the input and output devices. The first interface board of the system communicates with the CPU board via the RS232 channel. The subsequent interface boards are linked up through a multi-drop communication channel, RS485. The PSU supplies the required 12V DC power to the board.

Access Easy Extension - Access Easy Extension is a metal enclosure identical in size to the basic AEC2.1. The Extension unit contains a Power Supply Unit, and space to install up to two additional 4-Reader boards and/or 8-IO boards. Space is provided for an optional 12V, 7AH standby battery to sustain the system in time of power failure.

Notice!

AEC2.1 does not come with the 12V DC standby battery.

	Installer to work closely with your company's Network Administrator to do the initial set up.
	However, for general knowledge, a description is presented in Appendix A. Refer to APPENDIX
	A, page 179 for more information. For users accessing the AEC2.1 using their own computer,
	refer to the section ‘Setting to be made to the Web Browser’.
4.2	System Requirements
	Check the following minimum hardware and software requirements on the Remote PC to
	access the AEC2.1.
	–	10/100Base-T Ethernet card
	–	CD drive
	–	Operating System (Windows)
	–	Windows 7/XP

– Standard Web browser (for Internet Explorer version 7, 8 and 9)

Video Requirements:

–.NET Framework 3.0

(.NET Framework 3.5 for VideoSDK 5.x)

–DirectX

–Video card that supports DirectX

–Internet Explorer

The AEC2.1 can be accessed after all the preceding system requirements are met.

	Notice!
	Video integration features are available on Windows 7/XP OS only.
4.3	Accessing Access Easy Controller 2.1 Software
