Introduction
Ness "V" Series M1 Access Control Systems are flexible and scaleable to permit economic and high
performance access control solutions for a wide range of applications. Modules interconnect through
different sub-networks and protocols to a standard TCP/IP network with the capability of a variety of
applications.
For example, the "V" Series Network Controllers are a cost-effective method for two-way communication
using Ethernet between a computer and a V1000 or V2000. In addition, the V1000 can communicate
through a multi-drop RS-485 network to sub-controllers.
Product Specifications
Cable Specifications
S-485 Connections (V1000 only)
The V1000 has two - RS-485 connectors. The V1000 uses the 10-pin, P3 and P4 for the RS-
485 connections. Each RS-485 bus can support a maximum of 16 V100-Series using one or two ports.
Having two ports on each bus provides the option of splitting each RS-485 bus into two physical
connections, allowing a total of four physical connections for the two busses. RS-485 busses must be
connected in a daisy chain topology and not a star topology. Note: Each V1000 port and the end V100-
Series, whether it is single or a daisy-chain connection, requires a separate termination resistor jumper.

Output Connections
All Aux Output connections are used for general purpose controls.
Note: Relay contacts are rated for 30VDC 2Amps.
Input Connections
Input connections are used for a combination of specific functions such as Request-to-Exit (REX), Door
monitor, etc. They can also be used as general purpose monitoring. Connect one side of the switch or
contact to the + (plus) lead and the other to the – (minus) lead.
The default REX switch configuration is normally open (NO) unsupervised (no EOL resistors), while the
default door switch (DS) configuration is Normally Closed (NC), unsupervised (no EOL resistors). All other
input points are defaulted for NO switches and are unsupervised (no EOL resistors).
Any input can be configured as a supervised input. They can be configured for resistors of 1K – 4K Ohm.
The setup of supervised inputs is done during configuration of the Modules in the IS100 software.
Please refer to the following examples

IS100 Quick Set-Up Guide
The IS100 Quick Set-Up Guide outlines the steps necessary to establish initial communication and
perform system set-up after the Ness V1000 & V2000 System hardware is mounted and wired with
peripheral devices.
The IS100 System Set-Up section outlines the steps necessary for IS100 system set-up. For more
detailed information on IS100, please use this guide in conjunction with the IS100 User Manual.
IS100 Network Configuration
The IS100 Communication Configuration outlines the steps necessary to establish communication with
the Ness V1000 & V2000 System controller.
• Once all hardware is mounted and wired, initial system set-up and configuration should be performed
with a client computer or laptop that is on the same network as the controller via a network switch O
while connected directly to the controller with a computer/laptop and an Ethernet cable.
• All Ness V1000, V2000 and ‘Edge” System controllers are pre-programmed from the factory for
DHCP, where an IP Address is allocated by the system router.
In cases where a Router is not used, (e.g. Direct connect to a PC) then you can use the factory default
static IP Address which is 169.254.242.121
To establish communications between the computer/laptop and the Ness V1000, V2000 or ‘Edge’ System
controller, Ensure your PC network is configured to the same range as the default Static IP above, (e.g.
169.254.242.100) then enter the above IP address into your Web Browser Address field and then press
enter.
1. From the Internet Explorer browser, navigate to the controller’s IP address
! If you are not familiar with the network configuration of your facility, please contact
the Network Administrator or IT Manager to perform the steps outlined below.

3. Click on the Hardware Manager module.
4. In the Network Configuration dialog box, change the controller’s IP Address to suit the customer
network. Click
Enter the IP Address to suit the
customers network. (you may need to
get this IP Address from the
customers system administrator)
Enter the Subnet mask (normally
255.255.255.0)
Enter the default Gateway if this
controller is to connect to Internet.

5. Once modified to the existing network settings, the communication between the controller and the
computer will be lost.
6. Restore the computer network configuration back to ,match the controllers IP range.
7. Once the steps above are complete, go to the Internet Explorer browser, and enter the
controller’s newly configured IP address: http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/ to launch IS100.
NOTE : If you have changed
the default password when
changing the IP address you
will need to enter the new
password now to log into the
controller. .
