1Introduction
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.

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.
Figure 1.3 Programming Host Logical Diagram Typical System Layout with RS-485 Connections.
Several AAN-32 panels can be connected to one host on an RS-485 line using different device addresses.
Field devices on the same line must also have unique addresses.

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.

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!

13 AAN-32 Hardware Manual

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

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.
