1 Introduction / Overview

1.1 Product Description

This manual covers the installation and operation of the AX-LAN (ipGateway).

The AX-LAN, ipGateway, connects to an AxisAX Ad-NeT-PluS network providing a gateway to the AxisAX Ad-NeT-

PluS network from any remote location via the internet. By gathering real time information from the AxisAX Ad-NeT-

PluS network, the AX-LAN, ipGateway, gives a visual indication of the state of the network through a standard web

browser with the state of each device being displayed in a clear and concise manner.

Interaction with the AxisAX Ad-NeT-PluS network is also available providing the functionality to enable/disable zones

and/or devices, reset, acknowledge, silence or resound NAC circuits all on the AxisAX Ad-NeT-PluS network (this

feature is only permitted on approval of the Authority Having Jurisdiction).

The AX-LAN can also be configured to react to events on the AxisAX Ad-NeT-PluS network and send event emails

to various preconfigured recipients.

2 Installation

2.1 Mounting the enclosure

The enclosure is provided with three mounting locations (see figure 2). Use appropriate hardware to mount the

enclosure to the wall.

Ensure that there is sufficient space to allow the cover to be removed / opened when the AX-LAN is mounted.

If the cover is completely removed, remember to reconnect the earth ground wire prior to replacing the cover.

2.2 Wiring

Plug-in terminal blocks are provided for all field wiring connections (see figure 1).

Note: Minimum / Maximum cable size for all connections is 22 – 14 AWG. All electrical wiring should be in

accordance with the National Electric Code and any local requirements.

To minimize the effects of EMC interference all network wiring should be minimum twisted with size suitable for

loading conditions. In areas where wire may come in contact with high frequency interference, such as portable

radio transceivers, etc, the wiring should be twisted shielded. Care should be taken to correctly terminate the shield

to the network in and out terminals.

2.2.1 DC Power Input

The AX-LAN requires connection to a Listed 24 VDC power supply. Connect the 24 VDC power to the “DC Power

Input” terminals.

Note: Use wiring of sufficient size to ensure that the power input voltage is maintained under all supply

conditions – refer to the AX-LAN specifications.

Two terminal inputs/outputs are provided for the 24V DC power input so that, if required, the power can be

continued to other peripheral devices requiring power.

Must be

Grounded

A secure dedicated ground connection is required. Although no system is immune

to the effects of lightning strikes, a secure ground connection will reduce

susceptibility. The use of overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended.

2.2.2 Fault Input

The “Fault Input” terminals are normally used to monitor the “normally open” trouble contact of a remote power

supply.

A 10KΩseries resistor should be connected to the relay terminals. If more than one AxisAX module is powered from

the same power supply, it is only necessary to connect the remote power supply trouble monitoring contact to one

of the modules.

If the monitoring of an external power supply is not required, a 10KΩresistor must be placed across the “FAULT

I/P” terminals.

2.2.3 Network Connections

Connect the twisted pair network wiring to the A and B terminals.

Connect the shield to the network SCN terminal.

Note: Special shield (SCN) termination circuits are included

on the AX-LAN module to prevent mains frequency ground

fault loops between network nodes. If shielded cable is

utilized, the shield MUST NOT be connected to any other

ground location.

SCN

2.2.4 RS232 Serial Interface

The connection to the PC-NeT Field Configuration Tool is via the USB port or serial RS232 terminals.

2.2.5 Ethernet Port

Connect a standard straight through RJ45 Ethernet cable to an existing LAN or router.

Note: Before connecting to an existing LAN, IP addressing information from the building network

administrator (IT department) will be required.

www.advancedco.com

2.3 Commissioning the Interface

Each AX-LAN module must have a unique network node address.

2.3.1 Default Settings

The following factory default settings are used, and can be modified as required.

Network Node 50

** The TCP Port is actually a fixed setting and is presented for information purposes.

Note: If multiple AX-LAN, ipGateway, interfaces or other network nodes with the same default settings are used it is

essential to change the defaults to give unique parameters for each network node.

2.4 Changing AX-LAN node interface settings

AX-LAN node interface default settings can be

modified/changed as required using one of the

following two (2) means of AX-LAN, ipGateway,

communications:

1. AxisAX Virtual Terminal Software

2. PC-NeT Field Configuration Program

Note: In order to communicate with the AX-

LAN, ipGateway, switch SW1 must be

moved to the “Setup” position (i.e. slide to

the left).

AxisAX Terminal Software:

To modify/change any settings using the AxisAX Virtual Terminal Software, with the programming switch (SW1) in

the setup position, connect a PC to the RS232 connector and run the AxisAX Terminal Dial Up software (Virtual

Terminal). Select the Menu button and then the “SETUP” area from the virtual terminal.

In the “SETUP” area of the AxisAX Terminal Software, the following items can be either programmed or viewed:

THIS NETWORK NODE: 2

NEXT NETWOK NODE: 1

INTERFACE ZONE: 702

SERVICE NUMBER:

TRACE LOGGING MODE: STANDARD + More>

BMS BAUD RATE: 38400 *

RE-SOUND UPON: NEW DEVICE ALARM

CONFIG DATA: * More>

Note: Items with * cannot be modified

In the “ZONE” area of the AxisAX Terminal Software you are capable of entering “Zone Text” for the specific AX-

LAN, ipGateway. It is recommended that zone text be entered so that any events created by the AX-LAN can be

readily identified at the keyboard displays throughout AxisAX Ad-NeT-PluS network.

PC-NeT Field Configuration Program:

The same modifications/changes that were done with the AxisAX Terminal Software can also be done with the PC-

NeT, Field Configuration Program. In addition, the PC-NeT can also be utilized to configure the server

communications requirements.

Note: Network configuration data can only be entered via the PC-NeT, Field Configuration Program.

To utilize the PC-NeT, Field Configuration Program; connect a PC to the RS232 connector or USB port on the AX-

LAN, ipGateway, and run the PC-NeT Field Configuration Program.

In the Panel Details area of the ipGateway,

define the Ad-NeT-PluS node interface

settings.

2.5 Normal Operation

After programming the AX-LAN ensure all programming

connections have been removed and that the

programming switch SW1 has been returned to its

‘Normal” position (i.e. moved to the right).

3 The Server

3.1 Configuring the server

The AX-LAN requires several pieces of

configuration information to allow it to exist

on a network. The PC-NeT, Field

Configuration Program, provides the

necessary fields for entering this

configuration information, this is found in the

“Panel Details” section of the ipGateway

under the heading “TCP/IP Settings”.

Note: Network configuration data can

only be entered via the PC-NeT, Field

Configuration Program.

3.1.1 IP Address

An IP Address is a unique address which allows a device to be identified on a computer network.

IP Addresses essentially come in two forms:

Public / Static IP Address

Private IP Address

A public (or static) IP address allows a device to exist on the internet. Many Internet Service Providers (ISP) offer

packages which include static IP addresses as part of a package.

A private IP address is an address which exists on a private network, i.e. home network or business LAN. An

address is considered private if it falls within one of the following ranges:

10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255

169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255 (Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) only)

172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255

Devices with private IP addresses cannot be accessed directly from the internet. Instead these devices are

accessed through a router via a Network Address Translation (NAT).

www.advancedco.com

www.advancedco.com 9

3.1.1.1 Network Address Translation (NAT)

A Network Address Translation is applied to a Router to allow a device on a private network to be accessed from

the internet. Consider the following network setup:

The NATs are shown in the table below the router.

The three internal devices (Web Server, PC, AX-LAN ipGateway) can now be accessed from the internet. The

following three examples describe how an external user can access these three devices.

Example 1:

To access the Web Server, an external user would type the following into the address bar of their browser

This will direct data to Port 80 (the default HTTP port) on the router with IP address 212.188.225.200. When this

data reaches the router it will be redirected to Port 80 on the device with IP address 10.101.100.21.

www.advancedco.com

Example 2:

To access the AX-LAN ipGateway, an external user would type the following into the address bar of their browser

This will direct data to Port 8000 on the router with IP address 212.188.225.200. When this data reaches the router

it will be redirected to Port 80 on the device with IP address 10.101.100.25.

Example 3:

To access the PC, an external user would type the following into the address bar of their browser

This will direct data to Port 9010 on the router with IP address 212.188.225.200. When this data reaches the router

it will be redirected to Port 8000 on the device with IP address 10.101.100.30.

3.1.2 Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is used to identify sub networks from a given IP address.

This allows the possibility to break down a single network into a number of smaller networks.

Possible values for Subnet Mask are

Subnet Mask Available Networks

255.255.255.0 1

255.255.255.128 2

255.255.255.192 4

255.255.255.224 8

255.255.255.240 16

255.255.255.248 32

255.255.255.252 64

255.255.255.254 128

Ask your network administrator for the subnet mask of the network to which you intend to add the AX-LAN

ipGateway.
