UNC100 C o n t r o l l e r D e s c r i p t i o n
The Axiom™access control system consists of one or more network controllers (UNC100). All information
required by the controller is downloaded from the PC and stored locally non-volatile flash memory. This
information includes configuration data, cardholder records, access levels, schedules, and all other records
necessary for the operation of the system. The controller operates independent of the PC and all decision-
making is performed locally, even in the event of total power loss.
Battery Protection
To protect the battery from being drained during shipping/storage of the UNC100, there is a small paper
between the battery and the panel. This must be removed before powering up the panel.

UNC100 Hardware Manual V1.4 RBH Access Technologies Inc.
Page 9of 36
P C C o n n e c t i o n
The Master UNC-100 is connected through the local Ethernet via a static IP address. The means of
communication is configured in the Axiom™software under Network Configuration/Port Type.
UNC100 TCP/IP Connection
The master controller in installations is linked by the local Ethernet. The system supports a static IP address
only [default address is 192.168.168.125] and Port 3002.
UNC-100 uses AES-256 bit encryption for secure communication over Ethernet. This encrypted
communication can be either between the host computer & master panel or amongst the master &
slave panels. Both UNC-100 & the host computer needs to be provided with a Customer Key and need to
enable AES option both in Axiom and UNC-100.
To change the IP address of the unit or enable/disable AES option, users can use IP Device Discovery [a
utility program provided by RBH]
PC to UNC100 Connection - LAN

UNC100 Hardware Manual V1.4 RBH Access Technologies Inc.

IP Device Discovery
When the IP Device Discovery program finds an Ethernet connected panel with the correct requirements it
will display under “Edit Mode” an edit button.
When pressed, the software will allow the editing of the following items; Location Text, IP data, LIF/LAN
application parameters, Channel Application and Encryption (AES) and other options.
Make changes to the various items displayed. After entering the data
and clicking on “OK” the unit will re-boot. Please note that only
Channel 1 is available for UNC100 RS485 Applications..

UNC100 Hardware Manual V1.4 RBH Access Technologies Inc.

Battery Charger
The battery charger routes input power from the 13.8v input source or POE module and constantly monitors
the battery voltage.
Reverse Battery Protection
A combination of a three ampere diode and a 1.6 amp thermal fuse protects against accidental connection
of a battery in the reverse direction.
Battery Test
A battery test cycle is operator initiated or scheduled. When initiated the charger is turned off and a 24Ω
resistor provides a load to the battery for about ten seconds. If during this period the voltage drops below
10 volts a battery alarm message is sent to the host, otherwise a battery normal message is sent.
Fuse Monitoring
Besides monitoring the battery voltage the UNC100 also monitors the input voltage (DC), auxiliary voltage
(aux) and the reader voltage (reader) and reports to the host whenever the state changes.
Diagnostic LED’s
The RS485 circuit has a red and green LED to indicate when a signal is received or transmitted.
Host Comms LED is a bicolour LED when red indicates receiving data from the host and when green
indicates transmission of data.
Run LED will flash slowly when connected to the host and quickly when not connected.
Trouble LED will flash when a power problem such as a low battery or low auxiliary power is
detected.
Tamper Detection
A tamper wire may be connected to JP1 located close to the center of the board. A short to this input is
normal and an open is alarm.
RAM Memory
The static ram memory holds the database from the host (capable of handling 50k cards) that is downloaded
using Axiom software. The coin cell provides power to the memory as well as the real time clock.
Power Input / Output
Located on the top right corner of the board is a jumper that selects if the power terminals are to be used to
supply power or provide power. Select “OUT” when using a POE supply and require 13.8V @ 500ma for
other equipment.
When not using POE, the jumper should be set to “IN”.
The UNC100 controller requires 13.8VDC to be supplied from an external source. (Note: Although the
unit can run on 12VDC, you will need 13.8VDC to be able to charge backup batteries.

UNC100 Hardware Manual V1.4 RBH Access Technologies Inc.

UNC- 1 00 C o m m u n i c a t i o n
The UNC100 has one RS485 port and an Ethernet 10/100 interface. Communications from the host
computer running Axiom software can be achieved in the following ways; either via the Ethernet interface
or via RS485 through a direct connection to a designated channel. The UNC100’s RS485 channel may be
programmed as HOST, DNET, UNC-NET, LAN, and OSDP/OSDP-S. Use the DIP switch to select baud
rate for Host communications as 9600, 38400, 57600, or 115200.
Networks
There are three networks supported by the UNC100 these are:
1) Host Communications through the Ethernet. Host communication between PC and UNC-100 can be
encrypted by using AES-256 bit encryption.
2) Device Communications for devices such as additional RC-2s starting at address 2, Alarm Keypads,
IOC-16 controllers, and PC100.
3) Controller Communications for controllers such as additional UNC500s or for UNC100s via :
a. UNC-NET, a protocol designed for RS485 communications between UNC100’s and
UNC500s.
b. E-NET, a method designed using Ethernet port rather than physical RS-485 connections
between UNC100’s, and a mix of UNC100s and UNC500s
RS485 Applications
Application name
Description
HOST
The Host port connects the UNC100 to a PC through an
RS485 interface.
D-NET
The D-NET (Device Network) connects local device
controllers (RC-2, IOC-16, SafeSuite™ Panels, NRC2000, or
NURC2000) to the UNC100 controller on a high-speed bi-
directional RS485 network.
UNC-NET
The UNC-NET (Controller Network) connects the UNC100
controller to other on a high-speed bi-directional RS485
network.
OSDP/OSDP-S
Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) communication
protocol is for interfacing one or more Peripheral Devices
(PD) to a UNC100 controller. The communication over
OSDP can be encrypted/unencrypted. When encrypted,
OSPD-S option need to be selected (Available in Firmware
10.28 and up.)

Master Controller
Each network must have a single unit designated as the master controller. The master controller connects
to the PC. Setting the DIP switch address to 1 will automatically designate a unit as the master controller.
Slave Controller
All controllers addressed 2 through 15 are referred to as slave controllers.
Ethernet Secure Mode
When dip-switch 5 is ON the IP locator program cannot locate the unit on the Ethernet and therefore cannot
make any changes or reset the unit.
RS485 (HOST) Port Baud Rate Selection (Master Only)
The controller's serial port baud rate is set with controller DIP switches 6 and 7. This setting determines
the speed used to communicate with the PC; the controller baud rate must be the same as the baud rate set
for the port within the Axiom™ software. The default baud rate is 9600.

UNC- N E T ( C o n t r o l l e r N e t w o r k )
Up to fifteen network controllers (UNC-100) can be linked together and feed into a single communication
port on the PC. Controller number 1 is designated the master controller and connected to the PC using
TCP/IP communications. The remaining controllers are referred to as slaves and can only communicate to
the PC through the master UNC-100.
UNC-NET (Controller Network)

When combining UNC500s and UNC100s; connect the RS485 of the previous UNC100 to CH3
(Configured as UNC-NET) of the UNC500.
If host connection is made through the RS485 port, then only one panel can be connected.
UNC-NET Cable
Use 20 to 22 AWG shielded stranded twisted pair cable for all UNC-NET connections.
UNC-NET Maximum Cable Length
The maximum distance for any link in the UNC-NET is 2500 feet (760 meters) and the total length cannot
exceed 10000 feet (3000 meters).

UNC100 Hardware Manual V1.4 RBH Access Technologies Inc.

E - N E T ( E t h e r n e t N e t w o r k )
To avoid the use of an RS485 port a method has been developed that uses the Ethernet port as a C-NET
port.
The basic principle of the E-NET is to allow a group of controllers to be virtually wired together by sharing
a membership list. Only units belonging to the list will be able to talk to each other.
The master controller is the controller that has an E-Net socket connection to Axiom software (available in
AxiomXATM software in Advance tab of Network Configuration).
ENET option needs to be enabled in device locator as well.
Once checked only E-NET communications will be used.
The IP address has to fall in the range of the subnet mask in order for UNC-500s to talk to each other and
duplicate addresses are not allowed.
E-NET communication can be encrypted or unencrypted.
E-Net Encryption
RBH system uses AES-256 bit encryption, for secure communication over Ethernet. This communication
can be either between the host computer & master panel or amongst the master & slave controllers.
Both Master panel & the host computer needs to be provide with the AES key. Also for communication
amongst the slave panels ENET feature has to be enabled.
Before E-net configuration, all the UNC-100s need to be upgraded to Firmware 10.28.

UNC100 Hardware Manual V1.4 RBH Access Technologies Inc.
Page 18 of 36
Steps to enable E-net Encryption
To achieve encryption the following steps have to be followed:
In the advanced tab of Network Configurations
of AxiomXA software, select E-Net as Slave
Protocol.
In Master and Slave UNC-100s configuration
enter serial number and IP address of panels.
In the advanced tab of Network Configurations,
check AES option and enter a four character
customer key.

UNC100 Hardware Manual V1.4 RBH Access Technologies Inc.
Page 19 of 36
Using the IP Device Discovery Program, check the AES box and enter the same four
character customer key matching the one added in software.

UNC100 Hardware Manual V1.4 RBH Access Technologies Inc.
Page 20 of 36
D - N E T D e v i c e N e t w o r k
Up to four RC-2 reader controllers (The UNC100 is configured for 1, then you can connect 3 physical
RC2s), and up to sixteen IOC-16 input/output controllers, may be connected to each network controller in
the UNC-NET using high speed RS485 communications.
D-NET (Device Network)
NRC2000 panels may be used in place of RC-2 panels.
