<strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong> Basics<br />
The <strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong> controller is housed in a 16 AWG metal wall-mounted cabinet,<br />
which has tamper switches on the front and rear and can be used in a variety<br />
of configurations.<br />
The standard <strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong> panel has eight inputs, eight outputs, and one RS-485<br />
reader port that can support a maximum of eight readers.<br />
In the basic <strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong> installation, the eight card readers are wired in a daisy<br />
chain configuration. Installing a Star Coupler or Mini Star Coupler enables<br />
you to wire the <strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong>’s eight card readers in a star configuration, daisy<br />
chain configuration, or a combination of configurations.<br />
Note:<br />
As many as 16 <strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong> units can be connected in a<br />
communications chain. However, for best results, the<br />
recommended maximum number of <strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong> units per chain is<br />
nine. On a network connection, the recommended maximum<br />
number of <strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong> units is six.<br />
The static RAM of the panel consumes minimal power for storing memory<br />
and data. The panel is capable of serial RS-232 bus/daisy chain RS-485 or<br />
dual-line communications with an optional board. (Optional boards are<br />
described in “<strong>apC</strong>/<strong>8X</strong> Optional Modules,” on page 1-5.)<br />
