These include the following: Control cards Bus controllers Various input devices, such as: AMX TiltScreens Touch Panels Softwire Panels and Mini-Softwire Panels Wireless receivers Custom panel interfaces Lithium Batteries RS-232 Communication Port DIP switch Upgradeable SRAM RS-232 Connector AXLink Status LED FIG. 1 AXC-EM Enhanced Master Card Specifications The following table lists the specifications for the AXC-EM. AXC-EM Specifications Processor Memory RAM sockets 32 b 256 Kb battery-backed SRAM (expandable to 64 KB) The RAM sockets on the AXC-EM are 32-pin sockets. Connection 9-pin RS-232 connector AXC-EM Enhanced Master Card 1 Product Information AXC-EM Specifications (Cont. ) AXlink Status LED The green LED (CR1) on the front end of the card indicates AXlink status, as follows: · One blink per second indicates power is active and AXlink communication is functioning. · Two blinks per second indicate that the devices specified in the master program do not match the devices found. · Three blinks per second indicate an AXlink communication error. · Full on indicates the following: ·There is no AXlink control or activity, but power is on. (For example, another AXC-EM may have control of AXlink. ) ·The Axcess program is not loaded. To ensure the integrity of your Axcess program, you can use two AXC-EMs, each loaded with the same program. Should the primary AXC-EM's control of AXlink be interrupted, the secondary AXC-EM will automatically take control. Setting the RS-232 Communications DIP Switch Use the 8-position DIP switch to set the communication parameters. The following table describes the communications DIP switch settings: Communication Parameters DIP Switch Settings Switch 1 2 3 4 Parity Off Off Unused On Off Unused Off On Unused On On Unused Off Off Mark On Off Even Off On Odd On On None On On On Off On On On Off Off On Off Off Off On Off Off 5 6 7 Baud Rates Off 300 Off 600 On 1, 200 On 2, 400 Off 4, 800 Off 9, 600 On 19, 200 On 38, 400 On On On On Off Off Off Off 8 Function Stop Bits Data Bits Setting Value Off 2 bits On 1 bit Off 7 bits On 8 bits 2 AXC-EM Enhanced Master Card Product Information Installation To install the AXC-EM: Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry.
