Introduction
 Introduction 2

1 Introduction
An access control system provides a means to replace traditional key and lock systems, which are easy to
defeat because of the ease of copying of keys and use by unauthorized personnel. With electronic access
control, the exact areas a person is able to access as well as during what time is configurable through a
central control system. In addition to the power of greater control, a historical record is maintained which is
useful in the case of a system security breach or for other purposes including calculating work time and
facility use costing.

1.1 Overview
The AAN-32 Access and Alarm Network Controller forms the basis of a modular system for the
complete control and monitoring of a distributed processing access control system, integrated alarm
monitoring and remote device control and reaction. Typical use of the system is the control of site access by
control of door locking devices associated with card readers and PIN keypads and maintaining logs of this
access for later reporting.

The framework of the device network is all accomplished through connection to a host programming
device (PC computer with a database interface application), and to field devices that provide the actual
functions of the system (door control, alarm inputs, relay outputs, etc). The connections between the
components of the system can be made via a combination of RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet TCP-UDP/IP
connections, depending on the function and the site considerations.

By supporting both centralized and distributed database operation, once the AAN-32 controller has
been programmed from the host device the controller and the connected field devices work independently
and only require connection to the host for live event monitoring and reporting of events to the database. All
the necessary information to carry out access decisions and other response functions of the system is stored
within the AAN-32’s internal memory and does not rely on a constant connection to the host computer.
Downloadable field devices are available as well that do not require constant connection to the controller to
maintain functionality (e.g. Apollo AIM-4SL Downloadable Reader Interface). In this way, it is possible to
achieve three levels of database redundancy with Apollo Access Control Systems.

 Introduction 4

1.3 Programming Host

To establish operating configuration and to report events, the AAN-32 controller requires connection to a
software database interface program. Configuration options including cardholders are stored in a central
database and then transmitted via a proprietary encrypted protocol to the AAN-32. Once programmed, the
AAN-32 will continue to function without connection to the host. A record of all actions that happen while
there is no connection is stored in the memory of the AAN (limited by the capacity of the memory) for
reporting at a later time when connection with the host has been re-established.

Apollo has designed the APACS software system to provide the closest integration possible to take full
advantage of the features of the AAN-32 controller. Full documentation on configuring the options of the
AAN-32 with APACS is contained in the documentation provided with the software.

2.1 Terminal Connectors

The AAN-32 has one terminal block for connecting power, alarm inputs, and connection to field device lines.
The connection terminals are factory equipped with removable screw-down quick connectors which are
easily removed from the board by firmly grasping the connector and pulling away from the board. If pliers
are used to remove the connectors, they should be of the rubber-tipped type. Take care in using any tools
near the board not to damage on-board components. The proper location of the quick connectors is outlined
in white on the board.

2.2 DIP Switches
The AAN-32 has two blocks of DIP switches, with 8 switches in each block. These switches are used to set
various configuration options for the panel. The switches of SW1 are used for configuring the baud rate of
device ports 3-6, and remain constant. The switches of SW2 set additional configuration options. Note that
the function of switches 4-8 on SW2 have a different function depending on the type of host connection
(serial via ASI-1 or TCP/IP via ANI-1/100—see below for more information on host connection). It is
recommended to power the board down before making any changes in the DIP switch settings as any
changes will not take effect unless the power is cycled.

 Hardware Layout 12

Figure 2.3 Panel Connectors. The position of all connectors for add-on components is shown.
2.3.1 Device Port Communication Sockets
Device Port Communication Driver Sockets: J10, J12

For the functioning of Device Ports, 3 & 4, proper communication drivers must be connected to the
corresponding 12-pin sockets. The communication driver modules can be either ASM-48 (RS-485, part
number 430-131) or ASM-23 (RS-232, part number 430-132) depending on the type of communication
required on the port. The module should be installed so the long end extends towards the middle of the
board and the mounting holes provided on the AAN-32 and ASM align so a plastic stand-off can be attached
to connect the holes.
2.3.2 Memory Backup Connection
Memory Backup Battery Connection: J1

In the case of total power failure, the memory of the AAN-32 will be stored for up to 6 months (in basic
configuration) by power supplied by 3 AA (LR6) size batteries. A battery holder with connector is supplied
with the AAN. Install fresh batteries into the holder and connect the attached connector to the AAN,
observing the polarity. Connect the red wire to the bottom pin of J1 (denoted by a '+' stenciled on the board)
and the black wire to the top most pin. Batteries should be replaced every year.

Warning: Change batteries only with power connected to the AAN-32 or memory will be lost!

2.3.3 SIMM Memory Sockets

SIMM Memory Module Socket: J9

The AAN-32 has one 72-pin socket which can contain either a AME-10 (1MB, part number 430-150) or
AME-20 (2MB, part number 430-160) module, for a maximum 2 MB of storage of card codes and events.
For details on memory usage and calculating the correct amount of memory for your configuration, see Part
5: Memory Capacity. Do not attempt to use standard PC SIMM modules, only Apollo memory modules will
function.
2.3.4 Host Interface Module Connector
Host Interface Module Connector: J18 (AAN-32-NCC Only)

The AAN-32-NCC is supplied with the ANI-1 Network Interface (part number 430-110) installed at the
factory. It is connected to the 64-pin J18 connector. However, should it be required to remove/install this
module, this should be done with great care to avoid damaging the pins. Use a gentle side to side rocking
movement to ease the module on/off the pins. When properly seated, the pins should protrude
approximately ¼” (5 mm) from the surface of the module. The plastic stand-offs included with the module
should be installed in the corresponding holes to provide a guide for proper mounting.

The standard AAN-32 does not have this connector installed

2.4 LEDs
The AAN-32 has 3 LEDs for use in monitoring functioning of panel and for diagnosis of problems. The LEDs
function in two modes: startup, and normal operation. Refer to the figure for exact location of the LEDs. The
LEDs are also labeled on the circuit board with white lettering.

Figure 2.4 AAN-32 LED Indicators. LEDs operate in either start-up, normal operation or test mode.
2.4.1 Start Up Mode
Immediately after powering on the panel, the start-up test will initiate. The three LEDs of the AAN-32 will
flash through test patterns and when the test has completed successfully, they will begin normal operation.
In the event of a test failure, D8 will be constantly lit.
2.4.2 Normal Operation
After initialization and self tests, the LEDs will switch to normal operation and will display information about
the panel operation.

Heartbeat (D8)—Shows a constant ‘heartbeat’ (0.2 sec ON, 0.8 sec OFF) to indicate proper operation
of the panel and firmware.

Port Status—Shows activity on the corresponding serial port. Port 1 corresponds to Port 3 (host port)
and Port 2 corresponds to Port 4 (device port). For the AAN-32-NCC with ANI-1 Installed, the Port 1
LED will display the host communication activity that is processed through the ANI-1. Normal activity on
the ports will be observed to be from blinking many times a second, to solid, depending on the amount of
activity.

2.5 Firmware
The operating program for the AAN-32 is stored in re-programmable flash memory. In the event that the
firmware must be re-installed or updated, no chips need to be replaced on the panel. The new program can
be loaded from the host via special software. For normal operation it is not necessary to update the
firmware. If this becomes necessary, refer to Part 4: Software Configuration Utilities. Firmware updating
should only be done under the recommendation and guidance of your Apollo technical support
representative.

System Wiring
 System Wiring 20

3 System Wiring
SPECIAL NOTE: To guard personal safety and avoid damaging
equipment it is important to have a full understanding of electrical
wiring practices and safety. The following sections provide general
guidelines relating to the AAN-32, but are not a substitute for complete
training in dealing with electrical systems!
3.1 Power
Power is supplied to the AAN-32 by the voltage connection in the main terminal block (see Part 2.1 for exact
locations of terminals). The power connection should be 12-28 VDC. Power consumption is 300 mA with
ASI-1 and 400 mA with ANI-1. The AAN-32 is protected from over-current and over-voltage by on-board
circuitry.

Take care when selecting a power supply for use with the AAN-32. Most power supplies in the market today
provide good input/output isolation, however those which do not provide isolation (or have high leakage
capacitance), coupled with accidental AC power lines interchange, present serious ground fault problems for
installers. With ground fault, the signal reference between subsystems may be 115 VAc (230 VAc) apart. If
these subsystems are interconnected, the large potential difference will cause equipment damage or
personal injury. Apollo recommends the use of isolated continuous power supplies only. All Apollo supplied
power supply assemblies are transformer isolated for safety and to minimize ground loop problems.

In the case of over-current, solid-state fuses integrated on the AAN-32 panel will ‘trip’ to protect the
components of the panel. In many cases, the solid-state fuses will reset automatically when normal current
resumes, however it may be necessary to interrupt the supply of power to allow the fuses to reset.

3.2 Grounding
Special care should be taken when grounding the AAN-32 controller and other devices connected to it via
the direct communication lines. Each device must be grounded to provide ESD protection, personnel safety,
and signal reference for devices which communicate with each other. Grounding the reader provides a good
shield against external transients. There are three types of circuit grounds in systems using Apollo products:
DC ground, RS-485 signal ground, and Safety (Earth) ground.
3.2.1 DC Ground
This is typically the minus (-) side of the DC output of the power supply. It is to be connected to the DC
ground input of all devices being powered by one supply. It must not be connected in any way to any of the 5
RS-485 signals or the AC side of the line including Safety (Earth) ground (one connection to Safety (Earth)
ground is acceptable, but this connection is usually internal in the host computer and should not be
introduced externally if direct connection is used (RS-232/485)).
3.2.2 RS-485 Signal Ground (SG)
This is the 5th wire used for the RS-485 communications. It is used to provide a common reference between
all devices on the line and should only be connected to each of the devices' SG input. The SG wire must
not be allowed to touch any other potential, especially earth ground. The shield drain wire of the RS-485
communications cable is commonly used to connect the SG leads together. Usually this wire does not have
an electrical insulator. It is important that the SG wire is thoroughly insulated by the installer at all connection
points. Improper insulation of this conductor may allow accidental shorting to earth ground through conduit
or other metallic components, causing intermittent communications or equipment damage.
3.2.3 Safety (Earth) Ground
Safety ground is part of the AC power system. To avoid ground loop current, there must be only ONE point
at which the safety ground connects to the DC ground.

The RS-485 signal ground must be isolated from the safety ground. This means that the RS-485 cable shield

© 2011 Apollo Security Inc.

 21 AAN-32 Hardware Manual

drain wire must be insulated at connection points so that it will NOT accidentally short circuit to the conduit in
instances where the conduit is connected to the safety ground. (See Figure 117)

Please check the applicable regulations and legislation in your country prior to installing the AAN-32
controller and other Apollo products. In the US, the National Electrical Code, as well as other safety
regulations, require that all equipment chassis and/or enclosures be grounded in order to prevent electrical
shock hazards. Each device must have a green wire safety ground. The function of the green wire safety
ground is to provide a redundant path for fault currents and to insure that the circuit breaker will open in the
event of a fault. In addition, grounding the enclosure provides a path for ESD dissipation, thus protecting
sensitive electronic devices. (See Figures 115 and 116)
3.2.4 Grounding System
A grounding system can be viewed as two subsystems: the DC system and the Ground System. The DC
system consists of all interconnected power supply returns, DC distribution wiring, and load devices. The
principal function of the DC system is to provide signal reference for communication. The Ground System
consists of all chassis grounds for power supplies and other devices, safety grounds, and AC grounds.
Ground connection should be made to avoid ground loop problems. (See Figure 115)

Ideally, there should be ONLY ONE ground return point in a power supply system. In a system with a PC
(personal computer), it is likely that the PC already provides the DC Ground connection to the Ground
System (earth ground). Care must be taken NOT to create more ground connections. In systems with
multiple PCs communicating to Apollo Hardware via direct connection, the ground potential must be the
same for inter-connection, or some form of isolation must be provided.
3.2.5 Grounding Potential Difference Checks Before Connecting
Before a device is connected to an RS-485 subsystem, it must be checked for ground fault. Uncorrected
ground fault can damage all devices connected to the RS-485 communication line.

To check if there is ground fault for a new unit, follow the steps below (See Figures 105, 113, 115, 116 and
120):

1. Apply power to all devices already successfully connected to the RS-

485 line.

2. Power up the new unit, but DO NOT connect it to the RS-485 line.

3. Connect the signal ground (SG) of the RS-485 line through a 10k limiting resistor.

4. Measure the AC and DC voltage across the resistor. There should NOT
be more than 1 volt across the resistor. Otherwise find and clear the fault.

5. Connect the new unit to the RS-485 line only if no ground fault is
found.

3.3 Host Communication Connection

The connection from the AAN-32 to the programming host (PC) is used for programming the panel and then
monitoring the status of the system. Once a connection is established, the host software communicates with
the panel and transmits the necessary configuration information. Once this is established, the host and
panel will maintain a constant communication until it is terminated by the host. While connected, the
controller will send events in real-time after a request from the host. The controller will not send information
to the host unless a request is received. These events will be ‘buffered’ in the memory of the controller until
the host is ready to receive. Thus, all system events are protected and will not be sent to a host that is not ‘
listening’, therefore losing events.

The connection can be made either by serial connection (using Port 3) or, in the case of the AAN-32-NCC,
by Ethernet (using ANI-1 or ANI-100 Network Interface Module).

Figure 3.3 Host Communication Connection The host communication can be made either through
Port 3 or the ANI-1/100 Network Interface
3.3.1 Serial
Using Port 3, the connection from the AAN-32 to the host can be made using RS-232 or RS-485 protocols.
The choice to use RS-232 or RS-485 depends on many factors for the particular installation. The main
differences are outlined below:

RS-232 RS-485
Maximum Distance 50 Feet (15 Meters) 4000 Feet (1200 Meters)
Devices Per Line 1 16 (Maximum Number of
unique addresses for AAN-32
with ASI-1)
Communications Port Standard on Many PCs Requires Adapter (RS-232 to
RS-485) or Add-on PC Card
Data Rate 20K Bps 10M Bps

After choosing the method of communication, the proper wiring must be made from the host to the controller.

© 2011 Apollo Security Inc.

 23 AAN-32 Hardware Manual

Typically, the communication will be from a standard 16550 UART COM-port on a PC which will be
connected directly to the AAN-32 in the case of RS-232 or through the use of an adapter or add-on PC card
to achieve the RS-485 signal. The communications wiring must cross-over from the PC to the panel as
shown in Figure 3.3.1.

The connection originating from the host PC will then be connected to port 3 (see Figure 3.3). Ensure that
the proper communications driver is installed in J10 (ASM-48, part number 430-132, for RS-485, ASM-23,
part number 430-131, for RS-232). When communication established, the activity will be seen on the
respective port activity LEDs (D9 for Port 3). The blinking rate of the LED will vary at first as communication
is established and configuration is updated, and then should blink at a steady rate of several times per
second.

done according the type of host port (232 or 485, 9-pin or 25-pin) and then properly connected to Port 3.
3.3.2 Network
For connection from the host to the AAN-32, the ANI-1 Network Interface Module should be used. The
ANI-1 acts as a standard Ethernet network device and occupies one IP address (see Part 4 for programming
instructions). The connection from the ANI to the network is made by a standard RJ-45 jack. A standard
CAT5 cable should be connected from the ANI-1 to the local network via a network switch, hub or other
network connection device. The ANI communicates at 10Mbps with the TCP/IP protocol. The IP address of
the ANI should be specified in the host software and the host will initiate communications with the ANI, which
will translate the messages to the AAN-32.

Routing with ANI-1: If the ANI-1 has an IP address that is not on the same subnet as the host computer,

 System Wiring 24

there is no need to program a gateway in the ANI as it does not originate communication. If the proper
network path is established from the host to the ANI, (including necessary gateways) the ANI will receive the
communication from the last router or gateway in the path. This router or gateway will deliver the message
to the ANI with the IP address of the host computer, but with the router or gateway’s own MAC address. The
ANI will reply to the IP of the host computer, but directed to the MAC address of where the message
originated (the router or gateway). The reply will then be sent by the router or gateway on the correct path
back to the host.
3.3.2.1 ANI-1
The ANI-1 Network Interface Module provides connectivity between the AAN-32 and programming host via
TCP/IP interface. The ANI-1 converts the output signal from the AAN-32 to TCP/IP packets and converts
incoming packets, received from the host, into the proper signal.

movement to ease the module on/off the pins. When properly seated, the pins should protrude
approximately ¼” (5 mm) from the surface of the module. The plastic stand-offs included with the module
should be installed in the corresponding holes to provide a guide for proper mounting.

On the ANI-100, port 1 is an ENI Network Device. Port 2 (if equipped), functions separate and the proper
communication driver must connected in the corresponding 16-pin socket for operation. The communication
driver module can be either ASM-48 (RS-485) or ASM-23 (RS-232) depending on the type of communication
required on the port. The module should be installed so the holes provided on the ANI-100 and ASM align
so a plastic stand-off can be attached to connect the holes.
The AN1-100 has 1 jack for Ethernet connection via an RJ-45 connector.
The ANI-100 connects to the AAN-32 via the 68 pin socket of J1. The ANI-100 should be attached to the
AAN-32 with the bare side down (connectors and DIP switches visible). The installation/removal of these
modules should be done with great care to avoid damaging the pins on the AAN-32. Use a gentle side to
side rocking movement to ease the module on/off the pins. When properly seated, the pins should protrude
approximately ¼” (5 mm) from the surface of the module. The plastic stand-offs included with the module
should be installed in the corresponding holes to provide a guide for proper mounting.

3.4 Field Devices Communication Connection

The connection from the AAN-32 to field devices is used to transmit requests and information from card
readers and alarm monitoring devices to the controller and for the controller to transmit responses to these
messages. The AAN-32 originates all communication on the device communication lines, thus the field
devices hold any messages they have to transmit until they receive a poll from the controller. The first

© 2011 Apollo Security Inc.

 27 AAN-32 Hardware Manual

communication from the controller establishes the presence and proper functioning of the field device, and
then the configuration is subsequently sent in the following polling cycles. This polling is done many times a
second, with the exact parameters for polling (intervals, timeout, retries) being set by the host software.
3.4.1 RS-485 Communications Line
The typical connection for devices on the four device ports of the AAN-32 is through an RS-485 serial
communication line. First, the device port must have a communications driver installed in the corresponding
socket (see Part 2.3). For RS-485, the ASM-48 Communications Driver module is required. If it is
necessary to use RS-232 to connect a device to the AAN-32, contact your Apollo technical support
representative for more information.

Overview: The RS-485 standard is an electrical interface for multi-point communication on bus transmission
lines. It allows high speed data transfer over extended distance (4000 ft, 1219 m). Unlike the RS-232C or
current loop interfaces, the RS-485 interface allows multiple devices to communicate at high data rates on a
single cable, over long distance. Obviously, the RS-485 interface provides advantages in cost saving for
installation and improved system performance, but it also brings about issues which would not commonly be
seen on systems using RS-232C or current loop interfaces.

Bus Configuration: Communication cables for RS-485 should be laid out in a "Bus topology". This means
that there should only be two ends to the line and devices should be located directly along this line or (as an
exception) on short drops coming from the main line (10 feet max.). The AAN-32 can be located at any point
along the line (See Figure). Long stubs (T connection) should be avoided because they create
discontinuities and degrade signals. DO NOT connect devices in ‘star’ configuration. A star connection
creates long stubs and causes difficulty in cable termination. The maximum number of slave devices on
one RS-485 communications bus is 32. Each field device must have a unique address, and all the devices
must use the same baud rate, typically 9600bps (both set by the device’s DIP switches, and should have the
same corresponding settings in the host software).

Signal Ground: Using long communication cable with multiple devices often necessitates powering devices
from different power sources. This can result in ground faults, which can cause communication problems
and possible equipment damage. Because the RS-485 interface communicates in the base band and
provides no DC isolation, ground fault places devices at different electrical ground levels and causes large
ground currents to flow. The possibility of ground fault makes it necessary for careful system planning and
installation verification. The signal ground (SG) provides a common mode signal reference for the
communicating devices. Each device must connect its SG to the cable shield drain wire. Failure to use the
SG connection may cause communication error. If the environment is known to be electrically noisy, an
additional wire may be used for the signal ground, and the shield can be then grounded as an electric noise
shield.

Termination: Longer communication cable can also create noise and signal reflection problems if proper
cable is not used or if the cable is not correctly terminated. Therefore, RS-485 must be terminated at both
ends. Terminating the line provides more reliable communication by minimizing signal reflection and
external noise coupling. The factory recommends AC termination to minimize DC loss. Terminator
assemblies with screw terminals (ATM-48, P/N 470-030) are recommended for installation convenience.

Device Wiring: Typical RS-485 consists of four wires: Positive Receive (R+), Negative Receive (R-), Positive
Transmit (T+), Negative Transmit (T-), and Signal Ground (SG). The AAN-32 will serve as “Master” on the
line and the other field devices as “Slaves”. There can only be one master per line. The transmit lines of the
MASTER device are connected to the receive lines of the SLAVE devices and the receive lines of the
MASTER device are connected to the transmit lines of the SLAVE devices.

3.5 General Alarm Inputs

The AAN-32 provides two alarm inputs. The wiring to both inputs should be made with twisted pair 24 AWG
wire. If these inputs are not used, they should be ‘jumpered’ using a 1” (25 mm) long piece of wire
connecting the two terminals to form a closed circuit. This will prevent an alarm condition being reported to
the host.

The software utilities described in the following section can be downloaded from the Downloads page of the
Technical Support section of the Apollo Security website.

Apollo's website can be found at http://www.apollo-security.com

For further questions regarding obtaining these utilities, contact your Apollo support representative.

4.1 ANI-1/100 IP Programming

The ANI-1 and ANI-100 each occupy one IP address in order to connect to the network and to the
programming host.

ANI-1

The address of the ANI-1 can be set using the InitAAN software utility.

ANI-1 Default Settings

IP Address: 192.168.10.206

ANI-100

The address of the ANI-100 can be set in three ways: The InitAAN software utility, the internal web pages, or
the internal Telnet server. For ease of setup, using InitAAN is recommended.

In addition to IP address programming, additional security features can be enabled on the ANI-100 to protect
from unauthorized use. The default password is blank and should be changed on first use to prevent
unauthorized configuration of the device. This can be done through the Web Page or Telnet setup.
Additional security settings can be performed via the Web and Telnet setup only. These include disabling
Web Page setup, disabling Telnet setup and enhanced password. For more information see the following
sections on Web and Telnet configuration.

4.1.1 InitAAN
NOTE: In order to use the InitAAN utility for programming the ANI, ensure that you have the latest
version which is available on Apollo's website at http://www.apollo-security.com. Older versions of
InitAAN may not support programming the device.

This method can be used to program the ANI-1 and ANI-100.

1. If programming an ANI-1, the DIP switches of the AAN controller where the it is installed must be set
SW2-8 and SW2-7 to the ON position and then connect power to the AAN controller. If programming the
ANI-100, skip this step.

2. Run the INITAAN.EXE program. A dialog box will display instructions for programming various devices.
Clicking <OK> will continue to the main screen.

3. There are two methods for programming the ANI using InitAAN. In most cases, MAC Address Selection
will produce the best results.

MAC ADDRESS SELECTION (Preferred Method)

It is not necessary to use the "Search" function for this method. Depending on the network, devices that can
be programmed may or may not be accessible using search.

a) First, enter the desired parameters. For the ANI-100, only the IP Address can be configured using this
utility (all other parameters must be configured using the web page or Telnet). For the ANI-1 Host IP
Address, Host Address Mask and Alternate Host IP address can be specified to restrict addresses that
will be able to communicate with the ANI-1.

b) Click "Enter MAC" which will prompt for the MAC address of the device to be programmed. The MAC
address can be found on a sticker attached to the ANI device.

c) Click "OK" and then confirm the device to be programmed. InitAAN will program the device.

d) Confirm programming by accessing the device at the new address using a web browser or Telnet
(ANI-100) or using the Ping utility (ANI-100 or ANI-1).

 35 AAN-32 Hardware Manual

DEVICE SEARCH SELECTION

a) Click "Search" to display devices on the local network. If the desired device does not display in the list,
it may be possible to program the device using the MAC Address Selection method described previously.

b) Select the device that should be programmed by clicking on it in the list. Devices can be identified by
their existing IP address and/or MAC address. To positively identify a unit, compare the MAC address in
the list with the address printed on the identification sticker on the device.

c) Enter the desired parameters. For the ANI-100, only the IP Address can be configured using this utility
(all other parameters must be configured using the web page or Telnet). For the ANI-1 Host IP Address,
Host Address Mask and Alternate Host IP address can be specified to restrict addresses that will be able
to communicate with the ANI-1.

d) Confirm programming by accessing the device at the new address using a web browser or Telnet
(ANI-100) or using the Ping utility (ANI-100 or ANI-1).

4. Additional devices can be programmed by repeating the above steps. To exit the program, click "Cancel".

NOTE: The PC which is running InitAAN and the network hardware (switch, router, etc) must be configured
to allow network broadcasts in order to be able to communicate with the ANI and other programs to allow
programming. If one or more parts of the network does not allow broadcasting it may not be possible to
configure devices using InitAAN.

 Software Configuration Utilities 36

4.1.2 Web Page

This method can be used for programming the ANI-100 only.

In most cases, the IP address will need to be set using the configuration software as explained in the
previous section. In some cases, it may be possible to use the web page for configuration, for example to
make a modification to a previously configured ANI-100. If you are unable to connect to the web page, it will
not be possible to set the IP address in this manner.

To use the web page to configure to the IP address, the IP address of your computer must be on the same
network as the IP address of the ANI. For the defaults in the ANI-100 (IP Address =192.168.10.177) the
computer’s IP address would have to have the first 2 octets the same (192.168.x.x) for class B addresses
and the first 3 octets (192.168.10.x) for class C addresses.

To change the IP address, first type the default address: "http://192.168.10.177" into the address field of
your browser and press <enter> to display the login screen (see the Defaults section for default address for
all devices):

The default user name and password are blank, so unless a username/password was previously specified,
simply click on "ENI Configuration" to proceed to the main configuration screen.

 37 AAN-32 Hardware Manual

The main configuration screen shows a variety of options for the ANI-100. To change the IP address of the
devices, type the desired address into the appropriate boxes. Remember that the new IP address should be
available from your network in able to be able to access this web page configuration screen again. NOTE It
is highly recommended that the default user name/password should be changed on first use to
secure the device from unauthorized use!

 Software Configuration Utilities 38

In order to complete the programming with new settings, it is necessary to reboot the ANI. A screen will
display to allow reset by clicking the "Reset ENI" button. A status screen will be displayed while the ANI
resets and when completed, the ANI will use the new settings. Note that if the IP address was changed it will
be necessary to enter the new address in the browser address bar in order to access the web page
configuration again.

© 2011 Apollo Security Inc.

 39 AAN-32 Hardware Manual

4.1.3 Telnet
This method can be used for programming the ANI-100 only.

To configure the ANI using Telnet, connect to the internal Telnet server of the ANI-100 using a Telnet client
using port 9999. Using the configuration menus (Menu 0 for Server Settings), change the network setup
values to the desired settings.

The correct syntax for command line telnet to access the ANI-100 with default configuration
is:

telnet 192.168.10.177 9999

This specifies to connect to address 192.168.10.177 on port 9999. Make sure to use the
correct default address for your device and use a computer on the same network as the
ANI.

NOTE: Once a password has been specified for Telnet access the correct password must be entered within
5 seconds of opening the telnet session or the connection will be closed. Passwords are case-sensitive!!

Upon successful connection to the ANI, the current configuration will be displayed:

ENI-100 Parameters:
ANI-100 Standard Defaults - The italicized settings below will need to be set
for standard configuration for use with the AAN-100. Other settings may be
necessary or desired, according to your configuration:

IP Address: IP address of the ENI-100/110. This is a static IP address so the network

administrator must verify that it will not be used elsewhere in the system.

Telnet Enable: When checked, enables Telnet access to the web page and configuration files
stored in the ENI.

Telnet Password: Password that must be entered to log in the Telnet server in the ENI. NOTE:
No user name is used for Telnet access.

WWW Enable: When checked, enables web page access for configuring the ENI.

WWW Username and Password: User name and password that must be entered to access the
configuration via the web page.

Baud Rate: The baud rate that the ENI will use to communicate on the serial port. This setting
must match the baud rate of the ports on the controller or field device(s) that the ENI is
connected to. Default: 115200

ENI Port: The TCP port number that must be used to open a network connection to the ENI.
This should be an unused port on your network. Consult your system administrator for more
information. Default: 3001 - must match setting in software

WWW Port: The HTTP port that the web server will use to display the configuration pages. The
default value is 80 which is used by default by most web browsers. If it is necessary to set
another port, it will be necessary to specify the port when accessing the configuration page. For
example, if port 8080 were used, it would be necessary to specify this port in addition to the IP
address such as entering in the browser address bar: http://192.168.10.177:8080.

Connection: Select either a TCP or UDP connection. TCP communication is used for the
ANI-100. Default: TCP

Connection Parameters

(The following settings should not be used with the AAN-32)

Host IP Address/Port: When auto-connect is enabled, this is the first host address of another
ENI device which a connection will be established with. Set all values to '0' to disable this
feature. Required: Not enabled

Auto Connect: If checked will cause the ENI to automatically connect to the Host Address
given. This address should be another ENI that is not set to auto connect. Required: Not

4.3 Firmware Upgrading

NOTE: In order to use the FlashAAN utility for upgrading the AAN firmware, ensure that you have the
latest version which is available on Apollo's website at http://www.apollo-security.com. Older
versions of FlashAAN may not support all devices.

For updating the firmware of the ANI-100, see the ENI-100 Hardware Manual.

The AAN-32 Firmware is stored in an electronically programmable Flash memory. The AAN-32 controllers
are shipped from factory with the latest released version of firmware pre-programmed. Changing the
firmware in the AAN-32 should only be performed at the recommendation of and with the guidance of your
Apollo Technical Support Representative.

The firmware upgrade procedure does not require any additional hardware, or any manipulation with it. The
upgrade is done by simply running special software on the host PC.

To upgrade the AAN firmware, please follow the step-by-step instructions below:

1. Run the FlashAAN.exe program on the host PC.

2. Select the type of connection between the Host PC and the AAN-32 controller. If your connection
is via a serial port, select "Serial" (default), and if the connection is over network, select "Network".

3.a If you select serial connection, you will then be able to select the communication speed, the com
port number and the panel address (see figure below). Typically, these settings would be: Baud rate:
57.6K; Port: Com1; Panel #: 0.

3.b If you select the network connection, you will then be able to type in the panel's IP address.

4. After you have finished entering information as described in 3.A or 3.B above, left-click on the
"Connect" button. When the connection is successfully established, you will see the message in the
dialog window, and the current panel FW version in the "Revision" window in the top right corner of
the same window.

5. Press "Program" button. In the "Open" window, which will appear, provide the path to the
firmware file, select the file (file extension should be ‘.bin’) and select "Open". The firmware
downloading process will start. The old firmware will first be erased and then the new firmware will
be sent in 1024K byte blocks. Messages in the status window will show the progress.

6. In a about a minute (depending on the communication type and speed) you should see the
“Programming Complete!” message in the dialog window.

7. After completing the upgrade the AAN-32 will reset (taking approximately 10 seconds) and then
will resume normal operation, indicated by the ‘heartbeat’ LED.

8. Press ‘Connect’ once again and observe the Revision of the panel to confirm that the new version
has been installed. Programming is then complete.

Memory Capacity
 Memory Capacity 48

5 Memory Capacity
The number of card codes that the card database will hold in the controller's memory is configured by the
host software (such as APACS), and the rest of the space is allocated for event storage. In order to
determine which memory size will be sufficient for proper operation of a particular system, the following
guidelines should be used. (Add the number of bytes that apply per card, and then multiply by the number of
cards required).

Access Level (Required)

Access Level of Cardholder 1 byte

Flags (Required)

Flags include: 1 byte

Anti-passback exempt
Check with Host on Deny
Check with Host on Grant

Card Number (Choose only one)

7 digit - highest card number < 16777215 (FFFFFFh) 3 bytes

9 digit - highest card number < 4294967295 (FFFFFFFFh) 4 bytes

PIN (Personal ID Number) - optional

No PIN 0 bytes
1 to 4 digit PIN 2 bytes
1 to 6 digit PIN 3 bytes

Activation Date (Optional) 2 bytes

Expiration Date (Optional) 2 bytes

Anti-passback Location (Optional) 1 byte

Search on PIN (Optional)

Use if PIN ONLY mode is to used 6 bytes

Extension Type (Optional, choose one type)

Type # Features

0 None 0 bytes
1 6 additional access levels per cardholder 6 bytes
2 6 access levels, reader exclusion list 14/18 bytes
3 16 character name 16 bytes
4 6 access levels, 16 character name 22 bytes

9 Timed anti-passback 4 bytes
10 6 access levels, Timed anti-passback 10 bytes
11 6 access levels, 2 digit issue code, Timed anti-passback 12 bytes
12 Biometric data 10 bytes

 49 AAN-32 Hardware Manual

13 6 access levels, Biometric data 16 bytes

15 All combination support (AAN-100/32 only) varies (see below)

All combination support allows any of the database options to be used with any of the other options instead
of the specific combinations with the extension type. The options and their space requirements are:

6 access levels per cardholder 6 bytes

Reader exclusion list 12 bytes
16 character name 16 bytes
2 digit issue code 2 bytes
Precision access 64/96 bytes
Biometric template 10 bytes
Timed APB flag 4 bytes
Activation time 2 bytes
Expiration time 2 bytes
Visitor/Escort Processing Status/Group 2 bytes
Additional 32 access levels per cardholder 32 bytes
Precison Visitor/Escort 24 bytes
Use Limits 2 bytes
FIPS cards support 12 bytes

The cardholder record is then the sum of the basic record (6-26 bytes after rounding to an even number)
plus the additional amount specified by the sum of all the options from this list. Using this option (available
on the AAN-100/32 only) the maximum card record size available is 200 bytes:

Basic cardholder record (maximum)

Access level 1 byte

Flags 1 bytes
Card Number 4 bytes
PIN 3 bytes
Activation Date 2 bytes
Expiration Date 2 bytes
Anti-passback 1 bytes
Search on PIN 6 bytes

Sum of all Options 202 bytes

Total 222 bytes

The record size is always forced to an even number of bytes, rounding it up by

One byte in case the sum is odd.

The minimum number of bytes for card record required for a cardholder
(access level, flags, 7 digit card number with no PIN) 6 bytes

The maximum number of bytes for a cardholder (access level, flags,

9 digit card number, 6 digit PIN, activation date, expiration date,
anti-passback location, search on PIN, 6 access level + time zone
per reader (type 8) 90 bytes (AAM-20/80)
On AAN-100/32 with all options enabled 222 bytes (AAN-100)

Typical (access level, flags, 9 digit card number, 6 digit PIN, search on
PIN, activation date, expiration date, anti-passback location,
6 access levels) 26 bytes

 Memory Capacity 50

The amount of memory in each panel used for database and event storage may vary in future revisions of
each panel as new options are added. Event storage reduces the amount of memory that can used to store
the database. The host software configures the number of cardholders that the database will hold and the
rest of the space is used for event storage. Each event stored uses 12 bytes per event and a minimum of
100 events is always reserved. Database storage overhead uses about 10 percent of the available memory.

Amount of memory for cardholder database and event storage (minus system use and 10 percent
overhead):
