address. Typically this is set to 255.255.255.0
Click OK or Apply.
Click OK to exit the network setup and close the system control panel window. If prompted to
reboot or to insert the Windows installation disk please follow the on-screen prompts.
IP Definitions Applicable to the AX200
IP Address
An IP address is a unique identifier for each controller, PC or other Ethernet device.
The IP address range is fro 0 to 255, where 0 is null, 1 to 254 are valid numbers and 255 is a
broadcast number. (Example – 10.1.1.25) Note – Consult with the Network Administrator before
using any IP address to avoid duplicate numbers
Subnet Mask
This is the mask or range of address that the device is allowed to talk to, typically the broadcast
number is used (Example 255.255.255.0 in this example permission is granted to talk to all
devices on the network)
LAN
Local Area Network refers to structured Ethernet cabling within a local area such as a single
building.
WAN
Wide Area Network, refers to a group of LAN’s connected together such as a group of buildings.
VPN
Virtual Private Network, refers to a separate IP numbering system applied on WAN’s that allows
different equipment in various locations to communicate as a LAN
Gateway
The Gateway is the device used to channel IP traffic between LAN’s over a WAN.
IP Port number
The IP port number is the number assigned for the communications over TCP to that specific IP
address. The AX200 uses Port numbers 4848 for the controller and 1818 for the AX200 software.
Firewall
A firewall may comprise of a physical device or software on a PC and it is designed to stop
malicious attacks by computer hackers or virus. Note Firewalls may also stop communication
between the AX200 and the software unless the specified IP port numbers are listed in both the
TCP and UDP protocol safe list on the firewall.
LAN Configuration
When working on a local area network (LAN) all devices that are configured to operate with fixed
IP address such as the AX200 controller, will require the same segment address. So if the Server
(PC) IP address is 10.1.1.15 then the AX200 will require an IP address with the same segment
such as 10.1.1.52. When building a private network (if there is not already one there) it is

www.axxessid.com
Installation & User Guide
AX200 Installation & User Guide – July 2007
12
recommended that the segment address is 10.1.1.x Use the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and
the gateway IP address should be 0.0.0.0
WAN Configuration
When working on a wide area network (WAN) all devices that are configured to operate with fixed
IP address such as the AX200 controller, will probably have a different segment address. So if
the Server (PC) IP address is 10.1.1.15 then the AX200 will require an IP address with the
appropriate segment such as 10.1.2.52. Use the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and the gateway
IP address must be configured (Please consult the Network Administrator for all IP Settings)
VPN Configuration
Generally configure Virtual Private networks as per the LAN Configuration setup. (Please consult
the Network Administrator for all IP Settings)

AX200 Software
The AX200 software is where all the programming data and cardholder information is entered.
It consists of the following:
• Cardholder
• Access Point
• System Settings
• Format & Statistics
• Security
• Reports
• Environment
The PC is where all the system configuration and data management is stored. The optional data

controller without the need of a physical PC connection.
The AX200 system supports a wide variety of card technologies, including proximity, magnetic
stripe (AX Series), Wiegand and Wiegand compatible card types.
Operating Systems
The AX series supports a wide range of operating systems and can run on Windows NT
Workstation, NT Server, 2000 Professional and Advanced, ME, XP and Vista without the need for
different CD’s or drivers. A number of checks are implemented within the software to ensure that
the correct files for the operating system are present. The installation process automatically
detects the operating system and installs the correct files and drivers.
If you are using windows Vista please note:
• The recommended screen resolution for running the AX200 software
on Windows Vista is 1024¯768.
• If you receive a message at the start-up saying that the “User does not
have write access to the database”, right click on the AX200 icon and
select “Run as Administrator”. After doing so, this icon might appear
in front of the AX200 icon.
Software Installation
Put the AX200 CD in your CD drive. If the CD doesn’t run automatically, click on the Start button
and select Run. Type in x:\setup.exe on the command line (replace x with the letter of your CD-
ROM drive).
