2.1 Range of functions
Main functions of the If-407x controller:
Field of Application
The controllers are operated with the IF6020 or IF6040 host system and control up to 16 Interflex readers
for time & attendance recording or access control that are distributed among three RS485 interfaces. The
controllers check the booking data from the readers and transfer it to the host system in real-time.
Furthermore, they control the booking conditions and display texts of the readers.
Offline mode
Data required for offline operation (e.g., credential numbers, temporal and local permissions) is stored in
the controller via the host system. Thus, the data is always up-to-date even if the connection to IF-6020
and IF-6040 is interrupted and can be checked by the controller in offline mode.
Control and Monitoring
For controlling and monitoring doors, for example, the IF-4070 controller is equipped with digital inputs for
the connection of door contacts or other sensors and output relays with a switching capacity of up to 30
V/ 2 A. Thus, external devices can also be controlled. The input sensors can be configured as indicator,
event, or counting contacts (up to max. 20 Hz).

3 Mounting the controller
NOTICE
Damage to property due to manipulation of the controller
Manipulation of the controller can lead to data loss.
uInstall the controller in the secured area, taking the technical requirements into account
uMount the controller on a TS35 DIN rail, e.g. in a distribution box.
4 Connecting the controller
4.1 Wiring components
The cables can be fixed to the cutouts in the bottom plate of the housing with cable ties.
Ethernet network
The device is set up for connection to 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet networks. Connection and speed are
indicated by LEDs on the front panel LEDs and switches.
When assigning the IP address and setting up the network, observe the current state-of-the-art
technology for securing and segmenting corporate networks. Interflex recommends operating all
installed devices and servers in one VLAN.
Bus data cables with readers
You can connect up to 8 readers to each bus interface. A maximum of 16 readers can be
connected to the controller.
nAlways connect a reader with address 1 to bus 1.
nEvenly distribute the readers among the three bus interfaces. The factory setting for the
interfaces is as follows:
– Bus 1: 6 readers max.
– Bus 2: 4 readers max.
– Bus 3: 6 readers max.
Make sure that each reader has a unique hardware address within the bus.

nObserve the notes under Cable lengths and cable types [}5].
nWhen connecting external devices, take into account the switching capacity, the cable length and the
line resistance. Use several cable cores to switch remote devices.
nConnect the cable shields as shown in the diagram to maintain the required EMC values.
4.2 Connecting the power supply
NOTICE
Malfunction due to improper electrical installation
Improper electrical installation can lead to malfunctions in operation and equipment failures. Therefore,
please note the following:
uUse shielded cables Cable lengths and cable types [}5]
uGround the shields on the devices and cables
uProvide power to actuators (e.g., door openers) separately from terminals/controllers
uUse mains filter
These measures have been implemented in the distributors from Interflex. For further
information, please get in touch with your Interflex contact.
Power can be supplied to the controller via:
n18 to 24 V AC/DC power supply unit
nPoE device IEE 802.3at of power class 4 (up to 25.4 W)
1. Set the jumper according to the selected power supply type:
2. Connect the controller to the PE mains ground at the supply terminal strip (blue cable)

5 Initial operation
© 2021 Interflex Datensysteme GmbH IF-4072 Controller 12
To comply with the specified EMC limits, the controller requires functional grounding via the PoE
device and the patch cable.
Procedure
nMake sure that the PoE device is functionally grounded
nGround PoE devices without functional grounding via existing soldering lugs or screw
terminals
nGround the shields of the bus cables via terminal strip KL.4
Redundant power supply
To supply the controller with redundant power, you need an external 18 V DC ; 1 A power supply unit.
Should the power supply via Ethernet (PoE) fail, the controller automatically switches to power supply via
power supply unit.
For redundant power supply, the jumper must be set to PoE.
5 Initial operation
With the appropriate accessories, the following options are available for connecting the host computer to
the controller:
nVia WLAN with the IF-ServiceApp 75-99-0013
nVia service interface or USB

You can connect the controller to the network via a service cable and the serial service interface or via
WLAN with the IF-ServiceApp.
IF-ServiceApp
Prerequisites
üController is connected to the IF-ServiceApp.
Detailed information on this subject can be found in the documentation of the IF-ServiceApp.
Service interface
Accessing the controller via SSH requires the freeware PuTTY version 0.73 or higher:
1. Switching on the power supply
2. Establish serial connection between host computer and controller
3. Open PuTTY
4. Check and adjust parameters

5 Initial operation
© 2021 Interflex Datensysteme GmbH IF-4072 Controller 14
5. Start communication with Open
6. Log in with username fieldservice
7. Specify a password
Details on valid password requirements and how to change a password can be found under
Users and passwords.
Only after entering a password are the network services started and the network connection can
be established.
uEstablish network connection
After the power supply has been switched on, the device executes the following actions:
nBoot the operating system
nStart applications
nConnect the devices
When the RUN LED lights up, an SSH connection can be established.
The start-up procedure takes up to 30 seconds.
Leave PuTTY open during the next steps as further entries are required during initial operation.
5.2 Checking and setting network parameters
The netpar -? command lists the call parameters of the netpar command:
fieldservice@IF‑xxx:~ netpar -?

6 Updating the software
© 2021 Interflex Datensysteme GmbH IF-4072 Controller 20
6 Updating the software
There are two ways to update the controller software:
nVia the IF-6040 system (version 8.3 or higher)
nVia the PuTTY program package using batch files
Preparation
To update the software on the controller via batch files, the current version of the PuTTY program
package must be installed on the service PC. This is a free open source SSH and Rlogin client that
allows remote control of Unix systems by Windows computers.
The path for the programs pscp.exe and plink.exe (part of PuTTY) is defined in the batch file
s_setpathvars.bat. Here you will also find the system password.
1. Open s_setpathvars.bat in an editor and enter the system password
2. Adjust the paths for the programs pscp.exe and plink.exe if required, for example if you have
saved PuTTY on a USB stick
3. Start cmd.exe and run the desired batch file
A detailed list of the batch files and the associated call parameters is available from Interflex on request.
To avoid errors, the files to be updated and the batch files should be located in the same folder.
