Auxiliary Inputs and Outputs

When access controllers or reader interfaces are added, the system automatically includes auxiliary input and output slots for them in the Devices list. The number of slots depends on what is supported by the access controller or reader interface device. These slots are for aux inputs and outputs that are available for configuration, and may or may not be used. After an aux input or output is configured, its STATUS changes from "Unused" to "Configured".

The available (non-configured) slots can be filtered. From the Options menu above the Devices list, select Hide available slots or Show available slots. Showing the available slots is useful during configuration, but once the required inputs and outputs are configured, hiding the unused slots makes it easier to view the configuration.

As a further configuration aid, the Devices list provides the board location of the inputs and outputs in the Type column.

For example, the types listed for the LNL-2220:

Input: TB5 : Input 3 (IN 3 Door 1 Aux 1)
Input: TB5 : Input 4 (IN 4 Door 1 Aux 2)
Input: TB7 : Input 7 (IN 7 Door 2 Aux 1)
Input: TB7 : Input 8 (IN 8 Door 2 Aux 2)
Output: TB10 : Out 2 (Door 1 Aux)
Output: TB11 : Out 4 (Door 2 Aux)

Types for the LNL-1320:

Input: TB2: In 3 (Door 1 Aux 1)
Input: TB2: In 4 (Door 1 Aux 2)
Input: TB4: In 7 (Door 2 Aux 1)
Input: TB4: In 8 (Door 2 Aux 2)
Output: TB10 : RLY2 (Door 1 Aux 1)
Output: TB11 : RLY3 (Door 1 Aux 2)
Output: TB12 : RLY5 (Door 2 Aux 1)
Output: TB12 : RLY6 (Door 2 Aux 2)
