If readers are not attached to the reader ports then the Reader 1 L1 and BZ, and the Reader 2 L1 and BZ
outputs can be used as general purpose outputs. These can be controlled by assigning the RDxxxGreen R1,
RDxxx Beeper R1, RDxxxGreen R2 and RDxxx Beeper R2 outputs of whichever reader module has been
configured as the onboard reader module. These are open drain outputs which switch to the V- reference.

Warning: The reader outputs can switch to a maximum capacity of 50mA. Exceeding this amount will damage
the output.
Ethernet 10/100 Network Interface
The communication between the Protege System and the Protege Controller uses a 10/100 Ethernet network
operating the TCP/IP protocol suite. The IP address of the Controller can be configured using the LCD Keypad
terminal or via the built in web interface. The default IP address is set to a static IP address of 192.168.1.2 with
a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. These IP address settings are commonly used for internal networks.
Installing the Controller on an active network requires knowledge of the configuration and structure for the
network. Always consult the network or system administrator and ask them to provide you with a fixed IP
address that can be assigned to the Controller.
When installing an Ethernet connection the Controller should be interfaced using a standard segment (<100m in
length) and should be connected to a suitable Ethernet hub or switch.
Temporary direct connections can be used for onsite programming by connecting directly to the computer
Ethernet port.
