© Nedap N.V. Nedap Readers Installation Guide Page 8 of 213. Convexs/Invexs ProtocolsDepending of how the Convexs/Invexs is configurated several output protocols are available.3.1. RS485NR (including RS485NR2)RS485 enables the possibility to have bi-directional encryptedcommunication. If possible use this protocol.The RS485 is used for connecting the Convexs/Invexs to the NedapAEOS AEpacks APx003 These AEpacks must have the correctfirmware (APx003rs485NR/APx003rs485NR2) for handling theConvexs/Invexs. The APx003rs485NR2 is the successor of the APx003rs485NR, having more features and lesslimitations (see chapter 10, Available reader firmware)Using RS485 enables the option that the Nedap reader configuration file and firmware can be downloaded usingAEmon. The Convexs/Invexs configuration file still is generated by AEreco.With RS485 the data from the cards read at the Convexs/Invexs is transmitted transparently (‘Direct transmissionmode’) and encrypted to the AEpack.If both Nedap and Mifare cards must be read use at the Access Point the Primarily- and Secondarily Identifiertype can be defined. (Check is your AEOS version is capable of handling this.)Cabling distance: Max 1000 metersLED control: LED’s are controlled over the RS485 communication line (by software)Beeper control: By hardware connection or software (configuration depending)PIN code: For corresponding Invexs readers PIN code can be used over RS485 communication.At AEreco the output format must be configured as: RS485NR.3.2. RF outputUsing Convexs converters (AX1014 / AB350) enables re-use of existing cabling (both for antenna and LED’s)The RF output is to be used if the Convexs/Invexs have to be connected to the former Nedap XS readers(Accessor/SimpleXS) or the Nedap AEpacks.Depending of the possibilities and firmware of the used Nedap readers following options are available:Cabling distance: Max 50 metersLED control: LED’s are controlled by existing cabling (hardware connection)Beeper control: By hardware connection or software (configuration depending)PIN code: Not possibleFor RF output following options are available• Nedap RF data All data read is transparently sent the the AEpack (‘Direct transmission mode’)Most preferable, but can not be used in combination with a WinXS system• Nedap RF badge Mifare badges: data read is converted towards another customer codeXS badges: sent directly or converted towards another customer code.Use this only in case the Convexs/Invexs is used towards a WinXS system.3.2.1. RF output to AX1014 on AEpacksCan be used if e.g. the existing Nedap RF antenna connected to anAEpack is replaced with the Convexs/Invexs, thus enabling that bothNedap and Mifare cards or Mifare cards replacing Nedap cards can beread.For each AEpack (or AEpack reader channel) one AX1014 (Convexsadapter) must be placed on the AEpack, on which the Convexs/Invexsis connected. If e.g. a AP4001 with 4 Nedap antennas is converted toConvexs/Invexs readers 4 AX1014 are needed.Depending on the type of firmware in the AEpack following options are possible:• With new updated firmware at the AEpacks:AX1014 AX1014 AX1014AX1014 AX10141 2 34 5 67 8 9C 0 E1 2 34 5 67 8 9C 0 E
