The AM -SEK Seri al-to-Et hernet Kit provides a st andard net work
TCP/IP connection for Linear’s AM3Plus, AE1000Plus, and
AE2000Plus access controllers. The module can be used as
an alternative to a traditional telephone modem typically
used for remote access to Plus panel controllers.
The converter module connects between the Plus panel’s
RS-232 Serial port and the installation’s network. Access to
the network can be through a Local Area Network (LAN)
or directly to a Wide Area Network (WAN). Typically the
module is connected to a port on a router located on the
installation’s LAN.
In Plus panel networks, with multiple panels interconnected
via RS-485 wiring, the module connects to Node #1 of an
AXNET network, or Node #1 of any AB2000 network.
For easy configuration and setup, a Windows® based
software utility is included on the installation CD. The
utility software is used for setting the module’s IP address
and the computers virtual COM port. The utility software
is compatible with Windows XP®, Windows Vista®, and
Windows 7®.
