Introduction
The Canlan network communications device provides seamless network
connectivity for Cansec access control products. The CanLan supports up to
16 CP40 or 30 Smartlock®control panels. On Maestro systems, network
traffic only occurs when events or commands need to be relayed between the
host and the control panels. Bandwidth is conserved through a complete
implementation of the CP40 protocol on the control panels.
A standard 10 Base-T network
connection is provided for interfacing
purposes. This allows the use of low
cost Category 3 (or higher)
unshielded twisted pair wiring,
typically present in most LAN
environments. With onboard
processing and low bandwidth usage,
the Canlan offloads work from host
software with minimal impact on
shared networks.

Overview
The Canlan consists of:
5 status LEDs
3 interface connectors
1 AC adaptor plug*
*an access panel's battery backup can also be used (see the section on Power)
RJ45 CONNECTOR AND STATUS LEDS
The front of the Canlan (shown below) houses the RJ45 interface and the
status LEDs.

POWER INPUT
There are two options for providing power to the Canlan:
1. AC input
2. 12 VDC input
AC Adaptor
The supplied AC power adapter can be plugged into the AC adaptor
connector on the back of the Canlan. NOTE: a power outage will result in a
20-30 loss of connectivity to the device.
12 VDC Battery Backup (recommended)
The Canlan can be wired via the RS485 header connector to a Cansec access
control panel's 12 VDC output. Wiring the Canlan to a panel with battery
backup will prevent the unit from being reset during an AC power failure.
