Programming cards on the Networx NX-8E with NX1710E
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 1:17 pm
For those who work with a Networx or Caddx security panel in combination with a NX-1710E doorcontroller with a Wiegand cardreader, here is some extra information on programming. I've figured this out a few years ago and shared this knowledge on a US based forum which is now closed for people outside the US. So to keep this information available to the world I'll repost it here.
Be aware, basic Networx programming experience is needed to understand this walkthrough. As most people start programming their alarm's basic setup before starting on the extra's such as the doorcontroller, this normally shouldn't be an issue.
---------------
I've installed the NX-1710E expansion board in my NX-8E with a Wiegand cardreader. Unfortunately I cannot get any cards recognized by the system.
So far it seems the expansion board is recognized (seen in DL900), board and reader settings have been applied. The reader also beeps when I hold a card close to it, so it does read. The trouble starts when trying to enter the user programming mode. Looking at the manual, it is the same as with the NX-1700 modules.
I tried to follow the manual:
*5 + mastercode It then asks for UserID
002 It then shows the current code for user 2
[Stay] First digit of the user code turns in a star; it does not ask for a new user number, reader and keypad do not change status in any way
Scanning a card or entering a user number does not change anything. Entering a user number only results in entering a partial new code for user 002 (i.e. *003**)
Double checked if the reader is setup to do card programming (Loc.3, Seg.1, Option1).
It seems the system does not change in "card" programming mode when changing to user 002. Does anybody know how to program the cards, and what should happen when pressing [Stay], [Chime] or [Exit] ?
