114 AxTraxNG™ Software Installation and User Manual
C. Network Configuration
The AxTraxNG™ Server connects to access control units by a serial connection,
a TCP/IP connection, or a Modem-to-Modem connection.
To connect access control panels to AxTraxNG™ over a TCP/IP LAN (Local Area
Network) or WAN (Wide Area Network), the use of a TCP/IP to Serial converter
is required, unless the panel has an onboard TCP-IP connection (AC-225IP or
AC-525).
Each TCP-IP connection can support up to 32 access control panels that are
connected to each other using RS-485.
The hardware used to connect to the TCP-IP network may be the MD-N32,
which is a Serial to Ethernet converter, or using the onboard converter of AC-
225IP or AC-525.
You can also use Rosslare’s MD-N33 modem for a Modem-to-Modem
connection. Refer to the hardware installation manuals of the desired panel for
more details.
TCP/IP and Modem-to-Modem connections must be configured for use, and
require expert knowledge of the local network.
To configure TCP-IP Connection for AxTraxNG™:
1. In the Tree View, click AC Networks.
2. On the toolbar, click the icon. The Networks window opens.
3. Set the Network type as TCP/IP.
If you want to work with Remote, in the TCP/IP Network window select
Remote (WAN), and add the WAN IP Address of the PC.
4. Click Configuration.
The TCP/IP Configuration window opens.
