Setting Up a Reader
Setting Reader Type for an RM-4 Personality
Module
Set the reader type using DIP switch SW3-1 on the RM-4. If you are
setting up a magstripe reader, set SW3-1 to the Open (Off) position. If you
are connecting a Wiegand or proximity reader, set SW3-1 to Closed (On).
If you are setting up the last reader on a multidrop line, set SW3-5 to On.
Use the information in the following table to set the reader type.
There are 5 other reader configuration switches. Table 4.2 indicates what
each switch controls and how to set them for your site.
Setting the Reader Address for an RM-4 or
Personality Module
The SW1 switch determines the communication address for the readers.
Each reader connected to an apC/L must use either 1 or 2 as its address. If
SW1 is set to 0 or if SW1 is set between two address numbers, the red
LED on the reader flashes rapidly when the reader is turned on. Use a
screwdriver to turn the arrow on the switch to the desired address. The
system reads the address switch setting after several seconds.
