Introduction
2 AAN-100 Hardware Manual
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-100 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-100 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-100’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.

1.3 Programming Host

To establish operating configuration and to report events, the AAN-100 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-100. Once programmed, the
AAN-100 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-100 controller. Full documentation on configuring the options of the
AAN-100 with APACS is contained in the documentation provided with the software.

driver connections, and other component locations are shown.
2.1 Terminal Connectors

The AAN-100 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-100 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.

Table 2.2.1 : DIP Switch Function
2.3 Connectors
The AAN-100 has several connectors for interfacing with removable components. Take care when installing
and removing components in order not to damage pins or sockets. Do not use force greater than gentle
pressure when installing any components. Refer to the figure for the exact location of these connectors.
The connectors are also labeled on the AAN-100 in white lettering on the circuit board.

Figure 2.3 Panel Connectors.

2.3.1 Device Port Communication Sockets
Device Port Communication Driver Sockets: J10, J12, J15, J17
For the functioning of Device Ports, 3-6, 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
circuit board and the mounting holes provided on the AAN-100 and ASM align so a plastic stand-off can be
attached to connect the holes.

Hardware Layout 13
2.3.2 Memory Backup Connection

Memory Backup Battery Connection: J1
In the case of total power failure, the memory of the AAN-100 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-100 or memory will be lost!
2.3.3 SIMM Memory Sockets
SIMM Memory Module Sockets: J2, J4, J7, J9
The AAN-100 has four 72-pin sockets which can contain any combination of AME-10 (1MB, part number
430-150) or AME-20 (2MB, part number 430-160) modules, for a maximum 8 MB of storage of card codes
and events. The sockets should be filled from bottom to top (J9, J7, J4, J2), with higher capacity modules
on the bottom. For details on memory usage and calculating the correct amount of memory for your
configuration, see Part 6: Memory Expansion & 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
The AAN-100 supports two types of interface modules for connection to a host:
AS1-1 Serial Interface (part number 430-130, requires 1 or 2 ASM modules) or ANI-1/100 Network
Interface. The required module is connected to the 64-pin J18 connector. The installation/removal of these
modules 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.
2.4 LEDs
The AAN-100 has 7 LEDs for use in monitoring functioning of panel and for diagnosis of problems. The
LEDs function in three modes: startup, normal operation and test mode. Refer to the figure for exact
location of the LEDs. The LEDs are also labeled on the circuit board with white lettering.

2.4.1 Start Up Mode
Immediately after powering on the panel, the start-up test will initiate and the results will be displayed on the
LEDs. If there are no failures, the test will progress at a very high speed which will not make it possible for a
person to observe all the tests. If the panel encounters an error, it will stop with the failed test and display
the LED sequence corresponding to that test. The test sequence and the LED error codes are:

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. Ports 1 & 2 (D9, D10) represent the two
ports of the ASI-1or ANI-100; if the ANI-1 is installed, Port 1 LED will represent the host communication.
Ports 3-6 (D11-D14) represent the device ports. Normal activity on the ports will be observed as the
LED blinks many times a second or solid, depending on the amount of activity.
2.4.3 Test Mode

By placing SW2-3 in the ON position, the AAN-100 is placed in test mode. For a full description of running
tests and the LED responses, refer to Part 5: Self Test Mode.
2.5 Firmware
The operating program for the AAN-100 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.
2.6 Additional Installation Information
2.6.1 Mounting Holes

Four holes are provided for mounting the AAN-100 (see Part 8: Supplemental Drawings for scale drawings
showing the exact location of the holes).

System Wiring
System Wiring 17
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-100, but are not a substitute for complete
training in dealing with electrical systems!
3.1 Power
Power is supplied to the AAN-100 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-1or ANI-100 and 400 mA with ANI-1. The AAN-100 is protected from over-current and
over-voltage by on-board circuitry.
Take care when selecting a power supply for use with the AAN-100. 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-100 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-100 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 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-100
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-100 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

System Wiring 19
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 ASI-1 Serial Interface Module (part number
430-130--requires 1 or 2 ASM modules) or by Ethernet (using ANI-100 Network Interface Module (part
number 430-110R).
Figure 3.3 Host Communication Connection The host communication can be made either through
the ASI-1 Serial Interface or the ANI-1 Network Interface
3.3.1 Serial
Using the ASI-1 Serial Interface, the connection from the AAN-100 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-100
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 10Mbps
Table 3.3. : RS-485 and RS-232 Features.
After choosing the method of communication, the proper wiring must be made from the host to the
controller. Typically, the communication will be from a standard 16550 UART COM-port on a PC which will
be connected directly to the AAN-100 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 3.4.1.2
The connection originating from the host PC will then be connected to the port on the ASI-1 (see Figure ).
Port 1 of the ASI is the primary communication path to the host. Ensure that the DIP switches of the ASI are
correctly set (see Appendix B) and that the proper communications driver is installed (ASM-48, part number
430-132, for RS-485, ASM-23, part number 430-131, for RS-232). When communication is initiated by the
host, activity will be seen on the respective port activity LEDs (D9 for Port 1, D10 for Port 2 -- see fig. 2.4).
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.

3.3.1.1.1 Introduction
The ASI-1 (Part # 430-130) Serial Interface Module for the AAN-100 provides connectivity between the
AAN-100 and a programming host (PC) via RS-485 or RS-232 serial communication. The ASI has two
serial ports with port 1 being the primary communication path with the capability for a modem/dial
connection and port 2 available as a secondary communication port or local printer connection.

System Wiring 25
Baud Rate—Specifies the baud rate for the serial line of the specified device port. This must
match the setting made in the programming software. If an ENI-100 network device is used on
either port, Network Communication Mode should be enabled (SW2-6-9 ON OFF ON) and the
baud rate should be set to 115.2K. When set at this speed, the port will use the network protocol.
At all other speeds, the serial protocol will be used, even when the ASI is set for Network
Communication Mode. Thus, the ports can be set independently with one port communication
serial and the other communicating network.
Device Address—Specifies the address at which the AAN-100 will be found on the serial
communications line. For RS-232 operation, this setting will normally be 0 as only one device may
be attached to one RS-232 line. For RS-485 the address can be set to any unique address on the
line. If SW2-8 on the AAN-100 is OFF, the address will be from 0-7, depending on the switch
settings. If SW2-8 on the AAN-100 is ON, the ASI-1 will use the address range 8-15. If either port
of the ASI is set for Network Communication Mode, the device address will be ignored for that
port.
Communication Mode (Port 1)—Sets whether port 1 will be used as a direct connect (normal
operation on RS-232 or RS-485 line directly to PC host) or dial mode (connected via modem to
PC host).
Communication Type—Selects either full duplex (RS-485 4-wire) or half duplex (RS-485 2-wire,
RS-232) line communication. Direct Connect mode must be set to on for this function.
Flow Control—Specifies whether CTS (Clear To Send) signal is required for communication to
begin. This is normally used only with RS-232 communication. Direct Connect mode must be set
to on for this function.
Dial Mode—When enabled, the panel will wait for an incoming call from the host, answer it after
the first ring to obtain configuration information. After initialization, the panel has to be set to Run
Mode to operate normally. Dial Mode must be set to on for this function.
Modulation — Selects the modulation type for modem connection. CCITT should be selected for
most configurations. Dial Mode must be set to on for this function.
Communications Mode (Port 2)—Defines the operation for port 2. Valid options are: disabled
(port has no function), host communication (port is used as a secondary port for
programming/reporting with programming host), local line printer port (see Part 3.6).
Table 3.3.1.1 : ASI-1 DIP Switch Functions

3.3.1.1.2.2 Connectors
For the functioning of Host Ports, 1 and 2, the proper communication driver must connected in the
corresponding 16-pin socket. 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 ASI-1 and ASM align so a plastic stand-off can be attached to connect the holes.
The ASI-1 connects to the AAN-100 via the 68 pin socket of J1. The ASI-1 should be attached to the
AAN-100 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-100. Use a gentle side to
side rocking movement to ease the module on/off the pins. When properly seated, the pins should protrude
3.3.2 Network
For connection from the host to the AAN-100, either the ANI-1or ANI-100 Network Interface Module should
be used. The ANI 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 to the local network via a network switch, hub or
other network connection device. The ANI-1 communicates at 10Mbps with the TCP/IP protocol. The

ANI-100 communicates at 10 or 100Mbps via TCP/IP. 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-100.
Routing with ANI: If the ANI has an IP address that is not on the same subnet as the host computer, 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-100 and programming host via
TCP/IP interface. The ANI-1 converts the output signal from the AAN-100 to TCP/IP packets and converts
incoming packets, received from the host, into the proper signal.

3.3.2.2 ANI-100
The ANI-100 Network Interface Module provides connectivity between the AAN-100 and programming host
via TCP/IP interface at 100Mbps. The ANI-100 converts the output signal from the AAN-100 to TCP/IP
packets and converts incoming packets, received from the host, into the proper signal. The ANI-100 is
similar to the ASI-1 with the difference being port 1 is replaced with an ENI Network Communication Device.
Note: To use the ANI-100 with the AAN-100, the AAN must have firmware revision R2 or later.

3.4 Field Devices Communication Connection

The connection from the AAN-100 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-100 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
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-100 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-100, 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-100 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-100 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-100 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.

3.6 Local Printout

Port 2 of the ASI-1 may be configured as the Local Line Printer port for real-time print-outs of messages
processed by the AAN-100. An ASM-23 module must be installed in the corresponding socket on the ASI-1.
The DIP switches on SW2 located on the ASI-1 provide baud rate selection and handshake options, as
well as a choice of printout format (full or local). See Part 3.3.1 for DIP settings for the ASI-1.
The FULL description is defined within the host software. The use of FULL requires a download from the
host, thereby reducing available memory space for event and cardholder storage. The LOCAL event point
description is its physical address, e.g. READER number, or ALARM PANEL number and ZONE number.

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.
ANI-100 Default Settings

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).


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.
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.

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!

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.

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-100/110

4.2 ANI-100 Communication Configuration

Once the IP address of the ANI-100 is setup, communication configuration can be done with a web browser
via the ENI's internal web server. For setting additional security parameters, the ENI-100 software manual.
To open the web page configuration, type the IP address of the ENI in the address bar of your web browser.
Do not preface the address with “www”. You should see the following screen where the username and
password must be entered. The default username/password is blank, thus if it was not previously modified,
simply click on “ENI Configuration” for basic configuration.

The ENI main configuration page specifies the mode of operation for the ENI. When all settings have be set
as desired, click the "Program" button to save the settings. Clicking "Reset" will change all parameters on
the page to their previous values.

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
Host IP Address: When auto-connect is enabled, this is the first host address of another ENI
device which a connection will be established with. When Auto-connect is not enabled, this is used
to limit which hosts may connect to the ENI. All zeroes means that any host may connect.
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. Default: Not enabled.
Gateway Address and Subnet Mask: These are used to connect to another ENI that is not on the
same network when the Auto Connect box is checked.
UDP HOST LIST
From the main screen clicking the “UDP Host List Button” will display the Host List configuration. This
feature is not used with the ANI-100

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-100 Firmware is stored in an electronically programmable Flash memory. The AAN-100
controllers are shipped from factory with the latest released version of firmware pre-programmed. Changing
the firmware in the AAN-100 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-100 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-100 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.

5.3 Test Descriptions

The first 4 switch settings in the list runs all the tests with the exception of the memory retention tests, in the
following order:
Host port tests (if any selected)

Memory data tests
Address uniqueness tests
Main board port tests (ports 3-6)
Real time clock test
Watchdog timer test

Self Test Mode 55
Switch tests
Power fail input test
Tamper input test
Memory data test - This test uses the SW1 to setup the chip select mapping for the ram banks. If the
switches are set to indicate less memory than is actually present then the rest of the memory will not be
tested. If the switches are set to indicate more memory than is present then the test will fail. All other tests
assume that the chip selects for the memory have already been set up either by this test or upon
initialization. The test writes a 0x5555 and 0xAAAA to two consecutive words in memory respectively, and
then verifies that the two word were written correctly. It then repeats this with the values swapped, and
then continues for length of the entire memory as set by the switches. Upon failure the test will loop, writing
and reading from the two locations that failed. The HB LED will be turned on when an error is detected or
turned off if no errors are detected.
Address uniqueness test - The address uniqueness test first fills the entire memory with 0xA55A. The
data 0x5AA5 is then written to the test address 0x0002 and the entire memory is tested to verify that the
data 0x5AA5 was written to the correct location and only that location. The HB LED is then toggled at the
end of this sequence, the test address is multiplied by two, and the test repeated. This sequence is
repeated until the every bit of the address range for which memory is installed has been tested.
Port test - This tests each of the remote ports by echoing some characters on each port. Each port must
have the following connections jumpered:
T+ to R+
T- to R-
RTS to CTS (RS232 Interface only)
DTR to DSR/RI/CD (Port 1 only)
Real time clock test - This tests the real time clock by setting the date and time to 12/31/99 23:59:57 and
verifies that it will roll over to 1/1/00 00:00:00 after 3 seconds. The HB LED will flash when each second
changes.
Watchdog timer test - The watchdog timer test will run in a loop without resetting the watchdog timer. The
timer should reset and the test will end within 8 seconds. The HB LED will flash once every second. The
switch to enable the WDT (S2-1) must be on when the AAN is reset and the test is initially started for this
test to pass.
Switch tests - The switch tests first check and wait for all the switches to be set in the OFF position. Then
each switch must be switched on sequentially until all the switches have been switched.
Power Fail Input - This test checks for the power fail input to be shorted to GND followed by an open
circuit.
Tamper Input - This test checks for the tamper input to be shorted to GND followed by an open circuit.
Memory Retention (write) - This test is used to write to memory to check the battery backed memory
retention using the memory retention (read) test.
Memory Retention (read) - This test is used to check the memory after the power has been removed and
reapplied to see if the memory retains the data written to it.

Memory
Expansion &
Capacity
Memory Expansion & Capacity 57
6 Memory Expansion & Capacity
6.1 Standard Memory

The AAN-100 controller is delivered with 1 MB of Random Access Memory (RAM) installed standard. This
amount of memory is sufficient in a many cases. However, when several special functions need to be
programmed, or a very large amount of card codes need to be used in a system, it may be required to add
additional memory.
6.2 Memory Expansion

Memory expansion for AAN-100 is available in the form of 1 or 2 MB Single Inline Memory Modules (SIMMs
--AME-10, part #430-150, and AME-20, part # 430-160, correspondingly).There are 4 memory expansion
slots on the AAN-100 (see fig. 2.1.1), which can hold both, 1 and 2 MB SIMMs at the same time. In case if
different capacity SIMMs are used, however, the smaller capacity ones should be placed first, closer to the
center of the PCB, and the larger capacity ones -- last (starting from J7 towards J2). The maximum size of
memory, achievable with four 2 MB SIMMs, is 8 MB.
6.3 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 a 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)
5 digit - highest card number < 56535 (FFFFh) 2 bytes

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
4 digit PIN 2 bytes
6 digit PIN 3 bytes
Activation Date (Optional) 2 bytes
Expiration Date (Optional) 2 bytes

Anti-passback Location (Optional) 1 byte
Extension Type (Optional)
Type # Features
0 None 0 bytes
1 6 access levels per cardholder 6 bytes
2 6 access levels, reader exclusion list 14 bytes
3 6 access levels, 2 digit issue code 8 bytes
4 time zone per reader 64 bytes
5 6 access levels, time zone per reader 70 bytes
6 Timed anti-passback 4 bytes
7 6 access levels, Timed anti-passback 10 bytes
8 6 access levels, 2 digit issue code, Timed anti-passback 12 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) 122 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
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 available for cardholder database and event storage:
1MB 2MB 4MB 8MB
