Building Access Controller 32 (BACTL 32)
Control up to 32 doors with one unit
The Building Access Controller 32 (BACTL 32) interfaces to your door controllers and alarms, proxy
card readers, and T/Mon Alarm Master. When someone waves a proxy card in front of the reader, the
entry code is sent to the BACTL 32. The BACTL 32 then authenticates the code to see if it is valid for
that specific door at that time.
While entry decisions are made by the Building Access Controller 32, the T/Mon is notified of entry
activities and logs any intrusion alarms. The T/Mon is also responsible for provisioning the BACTL 32
with valid access codes.
Building Access Controller 32 features
Controls up to 32 entry points
Supports proxy card entry
Easy hookup via standard RJ45 connector (1 per door)
LANcommunication with T/Mon
Relay locks and unlocks each door
Alarm point monitors each door for open and close

Building Access Controller 32 panel connections
Power Connection (+24VDC)4.1
The Building Access Controller 32 is powered by a single terminal barrier plug power connector.
To connect the Building Access Controller 32 to a power supply, follow these steps:
1. Always use safe power practices when making power connections. Be sure to remove fuses from
the fuse distribution panel, as well as the back of the Building Access Controller 32, before making
your power connections.
2. Use the grounding lug to connect the unit to earth ground. The grounding lug is next to the symbol
. Insert the eyelet of the earth ground cable between the two bolts on the grounding lug (Ground cable
not included).
3. Insert a battery ground into the power connector plug's right terminal and tighten the screw; then
insert a battery line to the plug's left terminal and tighten its screw.
4. Insert a fuse into the fuse distribution panel and measure voltage. The voltmeter should read
between+18 and +30VDC.
5. The power plug can be inserted into the power connector only one wayto ensure the correct polarity.
Note that the positive voltage terminal is on the left and the GND terminal is on the right.
6. Insert fuse into the Power fuse slot. The power LED should be lit green. If the LED is off, the power
connection may be reversed. To confirm that power is correctly connected, the front panel LEDs will
flash RED and GREEN, indicating that the firmware is booting up.

LAN Connection4.2
To connect the Building Access Controller 32 to LAN, insert a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable into the
10/100BaseT Ethernet port. If the LANconnection is OK, the LNK LED will light SOLID GREEN.
Proxy Card Reader Connection4.3
The Building Access Controller 32 uses RJ45 to open-end cables to connect to your door sensors,
proxy card readers, and door controller. Below is a topology drawing with pinouts used when connecting
these devices.

!Hot Tip!
DPS Telecom suggests placing a protectiondiode across the power supply
output if utilizing the same power supplyto power both the door strike and RFID access card
reader. This will protect the power supplyfrom flyback from the door strike. We have included a
1N4002 (DPS Part # 2-302-04002-00) diode inthis package to use for this protection.
Adjusting Relay Operation4.4
The BACTL 32 contains 32 controlrelays used to lock/unlock doors. Each relay has a corresponding jumper that
allows switching between the default "Normally Open" (NO) setting and the "Normally Closed"(NC) setting.
WARNING: Always observe anti-static precautions whenever opening the unit.
To change jumper configurations, remove all of the screws holding the top of the BACTL 32 metal chassis in
place. Once the top of the chassis has been freed, carefully remove it and set it aside.
On the BACTL 32 circuit board, you will now see 4 groups of 8 relays, for a total of 32. Each relay is labeled on
the circuit board from "RLY1" to "RLY32". This 1-32 numbering matches the numbering found in the BACTL 32
software interfaces.
Each relay has a shunt located next to it. By default, a jumper will be installed in the NO position of each shunt.
Note: Default settings may be different if you ordered a special-configuration BACTL 32.

BACTL 32 Back Panel Craft Port
5
Use the back panel craft port to connect the Building Access Controller 32 to a PC to give it an IP
address. To use the craft port, connect the included DB9 download cable from your PC's COMport to
the craft port. Pinout is shown here for reference, but this is a standard DB9 to DB9.

Quick Start: How to Connect to the BACTL 32
6
Most Building Access Controller 32 users find it easiest to give the unit an IP address, subnet and
gateway through the front craft port (TTYinterface) to start. Once these settings are saved and you
reboot the unit, you can access it over LAN to do the rest of your databasing via the Web Browser
interface. Alternative option: You can skip the TTYinterface by using a LANcrossover cable directly
from your PC to the Building Access Controller 32 and access its Web Browser.
...via Craft Port (using TTY Interface)6.1
1. The simplest way to connect to the Building Access Controller 32 is over a physical cable
connection between your PC's COMport and the unit's craft port. Note: You must be connected
via craft port or Telnet to use the TTYinterface. Make sure you are using the straight through (1 to
1) Male to Female DB9-DB9 download cable provided with your Building Access Controller 32 to
make a craft port connection. We'll be using HyperTerminal to connect to the unit in the following
example - however, most terminal-emulating programs should work.
To access HyperTerminal using Windows:
2. Click on the Start menu > select Programs > Accessories > Communications >
HyperTerminal.
3. At the Connection Description screen, enter a
name for this connection. You may also select an
icon. The name and icon do not affect your ability
to connect to the unit.
4. At the Connect To screen, select Com port
you'll be using from the drop down and click OK.
(COM1 is the most commonly used.)
5. Select the following COMport options:
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
6. When prompted, enter the default password
dpstelecom. NOTE: If you don't receive a
prompt for the password, check the Com port
you are using on your PC and make sure you
are using the cable provided.

12
Once connected, you will see a blank, white
HyperTerminal screen. Press Enter to activate
the configuration menu.
Additional cables can be ordered from DPS
Telecom: Part number D-PR-045-10A-04
7. The Building Access Controller 32's main menu
will appear. Type C for C)onfig, then E for E)
thernet. Configure the unit's IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway.
8. ESC to the main menu. When asked if you'd
like to save your changes, type Yfor Y)es.
Reboot the Building Access Controller 32 to
save its new configuration.
Be sure to change the IP of your computer back to one that operates on your network. Now you're
ready to do the rest of your configuration via LAN. Plug your LAN cable into the Building Access
Controller 32 and see Section "Logging On to the BACTL 32" to continue databasing using the Web
Browser.

...via LAN6.2
Connection through Ethernet port
To connect to the Building Access Controller 32 via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address
(Default IP address is 192.168.1.100).
If you DON'T have LAN, but DO have physical access to the Building Access Controller 32,
connect using a LANcrossover cable (not included). NOTE: Newer PCs should be able to use a
standard straight-through LAN cable and handle the crossover for you. To do this, you will temporarily
change your PC's IP address and subnet mask to match the Building Access Controller 32's factory
default IP settings. Follow these steps:
1. Get a LAN crossover cable and plug it directly into the Building Access Controller 32's LAN port.
2. Look up your PC's current IP address and subnet mask, and write this information down.
3. Reset your PC's IP address to 192.168.1.200. Contact your IT department if you are unsure how
to do this.
4. Reset your PC's subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. You may have to reboot your PC to apply your
changes.
5. Once the IP address and subnet mask of your computer coincide with the unit, you can access
the Building Access Controller 32 via a Telnet session or via Web browser by using the unit's
default IP address of 192.168.1.100.
6. Provision the Building Access Controller 32 with the appropriate information, then change your
computer's IP address and subnet mask back to their original settings.
Now you're ready to do the rest of your configuration via LAN. Plug your LAN cable into the Building
Access Controller 32 and see section "Logging On to the BACTL 32" to continue databasing using the
Web Browser.
