apC/8X Panel Setup
apC/8X Technical Manual 5-9
S1:8
Switch 1:8 sets the parity for communications with the computer or modem.
Set it to ON for no parity; set to OFF for even parity.
Use even parity (OFF) with directly connected apC/8Xs. For modem
communications, including apC/8X dialup mode, match the apC/8X parity to
the host parity. With either setting, the apC/8X communicates 8-bit characters
with one stop bit.
Note: The apC/8X and the host will not communicate if their parity
settings are the not same. The same is true with the parity settings
of the apC/8X and modem; the parity settings must be the same
or the devices will not communicate with each other.
S2:1–S2:6
These switches are not used with C•CURE 800/8000. Setting them has no
effect on C•CURE 800/8000 systems.
S2:7
Card misreads occur when the card has the wrong parity or the wrong number
of bits. When switch S2:7 is set to ON, the apC/8X takes no action when it
misreads a card. When switch S2:7 is set to OFF, the apC/8X sends an access
denied for misread report when it misreads a Wiegand or magnetic stripe
card.
S2:8
Set switch S2:8 to ON to print access messages and monitor point changes on
a local printer connected to apC/8X diagnostic port P36. Set the switch OFF
to connect to the apC/8X test program through port P36.
S3:1
This switch is not used with C•CURE 800/8000. Setting it has no effect on
C•CURE 800/8000 systems.
