I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NetworX NX-1710E is a single door control module used to expand the capabilities of the NetworX control
panels.
• Flash-based microprocessor for reprogramming ability via In-Circuit Serial Programming™header
• +5 VDC and +12 VDC outputs
• 4-position dip switch which allows addressing of up to 16 modules on the NetworX bus
• Box tamper switch tied to tamper terminal
• One zone input to be connected to a door contact for monitoring the door zone.
• On-board relay with Normally Open, Normally Closed, and Common terminals for use in switching
power on MagLocks or other door locking mechanisms
• 8Kb of non-volatile RAM for storing programming and card data
• Two sets of terminal inputs/outputs for interfacing with one or two Wiegand card readers:
o 1 buzzer and 2 LED outputs
o 1 tamper and 1 egress input
o 2-wire Wiegand bus interface. Readers must be able to “speak” Wiegand. The
following are supported Weigand formats by default:
 26-bit standard Weigand
 27-bit Tecom ASC
 35-bit HID Corporate 1000
 37-bit HID 10304
 40-bit with facility code (Casi Rusco 4001)
 40-bit without facility code (Casi Rusco 4002)

III. WIRING TERMINALS
To install the door control, simply wire it into the system. Refer to the following wiring table for details.
For the purpose of these instructions, the term “doorcontrol” refers to theNX-1710E module, and
the term “reader” refers to the specific card reader attached to the system.
IV. ENROLLING
The NetworX control panels have the ability to automatically find and store in memory the presence of all
keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers, output modules, and any other device on the keypad buss. This
allows these devices to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the devices, enter the Program Mode
using the procedure outlined in the control panel Installation Manual. When the Program Mode is exited, the
NX-8 control will automatically enrollthe devices. The enrolling process takes about 12seconds, during which
time the Service LED will illuminate. User codes will not be accepted during the enrolling process. Once a
module is enrolled, if it is not detected by the control, the Service LED will illuminate.

PROGRAMMING A LOCATION
If an attempt is made to program an invalid entry for a particular segment, the
keypad sounder will emit a triple error beep (beep, beep, beep), and remain in that
segment awaiting a valid entry.
To Enter a Location:
[location] # The Armed LED will flash. If the location is
valid, the "Armed" LED will extinguish, the
"Ready" LED will illuminate, and the zone
LED’s will show the data for the first segment
of this location.
To Change Location Data:
[changed data] The "Ready" LED will flash to indicate a data
change in process and will continue until the
data is saved.
The new data is saved.
The keypad will increment and display the next
segment’s data.
NOTE: Repeat these steps until the last segment is reached.
To Exit a Location:
# Exits from this location. The “Ready” LED will
extinguish. The "Armed" LED will illuminate
waiting for a new programming location to be
entered.
To Review The Data:
[location] # The Armed LED will flash. If the location is
valid, the "Armed" LED will extinguish, the
"Ready" LED will illuminate, and the zone
LED’s will show the data for the first segment
of this location.
(Do not enter data.)
The next segment is displayed. Each time r
is pressed, the data of the next segment will
be displayed for review.

USING THE LCD KEYPAD
All steps required for programming are the same as the aforementioned LED keypad. The LCD keypad display
will prompt you for the data required. While in the programming mode, and not in a location, the number in
parenthesis is the location you were previously changing. For example, if the display reads "Enter location, then
# (5)", it is reminding you that location 5 was the last location you programmed. In feature selection data, the
numbers of the enabled features will be displayed. The features not enabled will display a hyphen (-).
PROGRAMMING DATA TYPES
1. Numerical Data can take on values from 0-255 or 0-15 depending on the segment size.
2. Feature Selection Data is used to turn features on or off.

VII. USER CARDS
Adding and de-activating users is done through a combination of entering information at the keypad and
scanning cards. Before a card can be entered, one door control on the system must be programmed with User
Card Programming enabled (Location 3, Segment 1, Option 1, page 14).
It is recommended that only one door control on the system be enabled to modify user
cards and that this reader be located near a keypad. This reader will transfer information to
all other readers in the system once programming is finished.
Once a door control is enabled to modify users, it must be placed into one of the following five modes:
1) Add One User
2) Add Multiple Users w/ Auto-Increment
3) Activate One User
4) De-Activate One User
5) Delete/Reset One User.
Modifying users on a door control is similar to modifying user codes at a keypad.

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Adding or de-activating user cards from a door control will cause the code for User Number 2 to become
invalid. Therefore, it will need to be re-entered after all user cards are programmed into the door control.
2. By default, user cards are added and activated.

flashing; the user number is not incremented in
this case.
