IP Bridge V3/V3+

The IP Bridge is an RS-232 to TCP/IP programmable converter which allows multiple
configurations. The IP Bridge is mostly used to control via devices such as: slots
readers (bar code and magnetic), proximity readers, bells, etc. It allows the connection
of 1 or 2 Bar Code (Wiegand) readers and the connection of one biometric reader. The
IP Bridge has inputs and outputs that can be used in several ways. Amongst other
things, the inputs can inform the administrator on the state of opening or closing of a
door. The outputs can be used in association with a LED or a buzzer to indicate the door
status to the user

The communication with the computer is done with an Ethernet 100BaseT
connection. The IP Bridge must be configured according to your communication
parameters with BoardConfig software (free download).

The IP Bridge is available in two versions, the V3 and the V3+ version.

Version V3 and V3+ both have two relays to enable devices (bells, lights, etc). They
have inputs (one or two depending on the version) that can receive a maximum of 5
pulses/sec in normal mode, or 500 pulses/sec in counter mode (counter mode available
on entry # 1 only).

The relay and logic input # 1 can be activated through commands sent via RS-232
and/or TCP and/or UDP (BROADCAST). The IP Bridge redirects unconditionally all
characters sent to the TCP link on RS-232 and vice versa.

Symcod can program the Wiegand decoder of the Bridge so only the card identifier will be
transmitted (order product # 020-01348). It is also possible to program the decoder according
to your specifications if you use another type of Wiegand format (ex: 37 Wiegand bits). If you
use the "facility code" and the card identifier, the transmitted code will be combined and will
have to be converted by the software (Method provided by Symcod).

A serial port is used by the external biometric reader (biometric reader not included).

The buzzer output is normally inactive, it is temporarily activated when a card is read, it is also possible
to control it by software.

Two TCP connections can be established through the port 1024 for connector DB01 and port 1025 for
connector DB02. The IP Bridge transparently redirects all characters sent to the TCP link to the RS-232 and
from the RS-232 to the TCP link. Both serial ports have the same configuration (Bauds, Parity, Data Bits)
define with the BoardConfig software (provided free of charge by Symcod). Only data signal on pin 2 and 3
are managed, there is no hardware handshaking available. It is possible to power up an external device
through pin 9 of the DB-9 (ex. Biometric reader). Jumper JP1 allows you to choose from either 5VDC
(regulated) or 12 VDC (pass through) for both port DB01 and DB02 simultaneously. Maximum current for
each port is 650mAh. In the 12VDC case, since it is a pass through, the current is equal to the power input
of the IP Bridge.

*** If your RS-232 device is unidirectional then you must with BoardConfig software change the bauds setting to 9601 to block the
transmission of data to your device (Supported by version 2.2W and more).

JS3 and JS4 Wiegand inputs

The Wiegand inputs (JS3 and JS4) are designed to accept proximity reader. The IP
Bridge uses an identification and discrimination system that can determine the origin of
the reading.

Identifier: Input Wiegand 1 transmits the integral code.

Input Wiegand 2 add the $ sign before the code to identify the
origin.

Discriminator: If 2 cards are swipe simultaneously, the discriminator will only

consider the first card.

You must specified at the order if you need special encryption type (ex: 37 bits
Wiegand) otherwise you will get the unit in standard Wiegand 26 bits. The input will
provide a 12V tension on both JS3 and JS4 connectors, which is usually enough for any
Wiegand type devices. The 12 VDC output is not regulated, so the output tension is
equal to the one on the IP Bridge input power. Any device connected to the IP bridge
must be powered by the bridge.

IP Bridge V3/V3+ WWW.SYMCOD.COM

Internal circuit logical inputs

The logical inputs 1 and 2 are designed to receive dry contact type or voltage type
signal (5-16 VDC). For the voltage type, it is possible to have a 16 to 32 VDC input by
adding a 1Kohms resistor (see following ) in serial with the positive signal (anode) of
pin 5 of JS3 or JS4.

5 releases volts DC 400ma combined.

Logic input # 1 (opto-isolated), positive input voltage + (maximum 3 to 16 volts DC).

Logic input # 2 (opto-isolated), positive input voltage + (maximum 3 to 16 volts DC).

Connection for logic IN #1

Example 1: How to connect a switch (Dry contact) not isolated:

1. Plug pins 4 and 5 of JP3 together.

2. Plug your switch between pins 9 and 10 of JP3.

Example 2: How to connect a switch /sensor in opto-isolated mode (safer):

1. Plug pin 10 of JP3 on the ground of your switch (ex.: Optic sensor).

2. Plug pin 5 of JP3 on the positive signal of your peripheral (ex.: Optic sensor).

3. Do not plug anything on pins 4 and 9 of JP3.

Connection for logic IN #2

Example 3 : How to connect a switch (Dry contact) not isolated :

1. Plug together, pins 4 and 5 of JP4.

2. Plug your switch between pins 9 and 10 of JP4.

Example 4: How to connect a switch /sensor in opto-isolated mode (safer):

1. Plug pin 10 of JP4 on the ground of your switch (ex.: Optic sensor).

2. Plug pin 5 of JP4 on the positive signal of your peripheral (ex.: Optic sensor).

3. Do not plug anything on pins 4 and 9 of JP4.

WARNING : Tension

A tension higher than 16Vdc doubled with a missing serial resistor will destroy

the input voltage of input 4.

WARNING : Transient protector

The output relay (JP1 connector) offers a dry contact either normally closed or
normally opened. The relay allows the activation or de-activation of a door strike or a
door magnet but it does not provide power to either the door strike nor to the door

magnet. The input voltage should never exceed 32 volts AC or DC

Always use the proper contact protector for your electrical strike or door
magnet. A 1N4007 diode for door strikes or door magnet using DC, and a 47 Volts
varistor for AC, are provided with the Bridge/IP. The transient protector should be
installed at a maximum of 12inch/30cm distance from the door strike or door
magnet.

In case that you omit to install the transient protector an inductive tension up
to 500 volts can be generated when the door strike or the door magnet or else is
turned off. This tension may wear out prematurely the contacts. Also, it can
cause unwanted electromagnetic interference. The life of the relay will be
dramatically reduced. With the transient protector the life of the relay could
exceed 50 millions activations.
