Important Notes:
1. Both 10Base-T and 100Base-T are supported
2. This cable distance must be less than 330 ft. (100m)
3. For cable length of more than 330 ft. (100m). use HUB to amplify the signal.

To connect C3-400 Pro with a PC directly, connect both devices with a straight network
cable. As the C3-400 Prosupports auto MDI/MDIX, it is not necessary to use a crossover

Important Notes:
1. RS485 communication wires should be a shielded twisted
pair cable. RS485 communication wires should be connected
in a bus cascade topology instead of a star topology, to
achieve a better shielding eect by reducing signal reection
during communications.
2. A single RS485 bus can connect up to 63 access control
panels, but preferably 32 is recommended maximum.
3. To eliminate signal attenuation in communication cables and
suppress interference, if the bus is longer than 200 meters,
set the number 8 DIP switch to the ON position. This is
equivalent to a parallel connection of one 120ohm resistance
between the 485+ and 485- lines.

within 10 seconds and nally returned to OFF position, the factory settings will be
restored after the access control panel is restarted.
