Wiring Diagrams and Connections

The AR-716-E16 supports connections via TCP/IP and RS-485.

PC Connection via TCP/IP (CN18)

Connect the AR-716-E16 to a PC using a CAT5 Ethernet cable via the CN18 connector. The diagram shows a PC connected to a HUB, which is then connected to the AR-716-E16's TCP/IP Module (CN18). Power is supplied via CN7/CN8.

PC Connection via Host (RS-485) (CN1)

Connect the AR-716-E16 to a PC using RS-485 communication via the CN1 connector. The diagram shows a PC connected to a converter, which then connects to the AR-716-E16's RS-485 Port (CN1). Power is supplied via CN7/CN8.

WG Port 0/1 Connections

The WG Ports (0 and 1) are used to connect to external devices like electric strikes, magnet locks, or electric bolts. They also interface with door sensors and push buttons. The diagrams illustrate these connections, showing how door sensors, push buttons, and output devices (electric strike, magnet lock) are wired to the respective WG port pins (WG0, WG1, BZ, LEDG, LEDR, SEN, EGR:PB) and power terminals.

Note: For wire lengths exceeding 100 meters, it is recommended not to use the "Wiegand Power." Ensure controller and reader use the "common-COM-point" for connection.

RS-485 CH1/CH2 Port Connections

The RS-485 ports (CH1 and CH2) can also be used to connect to electric locks, door sensors, and push buttons. The diagram shows these components wired to the RS-485 ports (CN2, CN3) and power terminals.

Firmware Upgrade

To upgrade the firmware, obtain the "UdpUpdater" software from SOYAL or a distributor, typically included in SoyalDeviceTools.exe. The software can also be downloaded from the SOYAL website.

1. Execute the UdpUpdater software.
2. Input the Target IP Address and Port (default IP: 192.168.1.127, Port: 1604).
3. Click "[Load F/W]" and select the new ISP Firmware file.
4. Click "[Update F/W]" to begin the firmware update process.
5. The process is complete when the screen displays "[Firmware Update is Complete]".

IP Setting

Access the device's IP settings via a web browser. The factory default IP address is http://192.168.1.127. If the IP address has been changed, enter the new IP address.

Page Menu Navigation

• Current Status: Monitor online computers connected to the Ethernet Module.
• Network Setting: View and change the device's IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
• User Password: Change the login password for accessing the settings.

Log-in Credentials

The factory default login credentials are:

• User name: SuperAdm
• Password: 721568

Networking Settings

When configuring network settings, ensure the MAC address matches the sticker on the device. After changing the IP address, click "Update" and then reconnect the web browser using the new IP address. The device will restart after an IP update.

User Password Setting

The user password can be up to 10 characters long and can include letters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9).

Factory Reset

To perform a factory reset:

1. After powering on, connect the Fire contact on CN15 to GND Ground.
2. Press and hold the [RESET] button on the main board for more than 5 seconds until the BUSY LED blinks, then release the button.
3. The device will restart automatically, reverting the IP address to the default value (192.168.1.127).
4. Disconnect the Fire contact on CN15 from GND Ground.

LED Descriptions

• POWER LED: Indicates power supply status (Green when powered, no light if power issue).
• BUSY LED: Indicates memory clearing/restoring (Red blinking means factory default action). If [RESET] and [BUSY] blink red without "Flash Restoring", it may indicate a PCB problem.
• RS-485 Connection (HOST RX & HOST TX LED):
  • [HOST RX]: Green LED blinks when receiving data from the host PC.
  • [HOST TX]: Red LED blinks when transmitting data back to the host PC.

Initial Setup

Hardware: Node ID / Reader ID Setting

The Node ID for the AR-716-E16 is set using an 8-pin DIP switch on the main board. Power off the device, set the node number using the DIP switch (refer to the Connector Table for values), and then re-apply power.

Example Node ID settings:

• Node: 002 (e.g., switches 1 and 2 ON)
• Node: 003 (e.g., switches 1 and 2 ON)
• Node: 007 (e.g., switches 1, 2, and 4 ON)
• Node: 008 (e.g., switch 8 ON)

Slave RS-485 Reader Configuration (CH1 & CH2)

• CH1 Slave RS-485 Reader: Node ID is fixed to start at 003. Key-Panel Type and LCD Type settings are configured via programming mode (e.g., Input * 123456 # or * PPPPPP #).
• CH2 Slave RS-485 Reader: Node ID is fixed to start at 009. Configuration is similar to CH1.
• LEDs: [CH1 RX] (Green) blinks on receiving data from Node 3; [CH1 TX] (Red) blinks when transmitting data to Node 3. Similar indications for CH2 with Node 9.

WG Port Configuration

• WG Port 0: Fixed at Node ID 017.
• WG Port 1: Fixed at Node ID 018.

Software: Connection Setup (701 Server)

To establish a connection using the 701 Server software:

1. Open the "701 Server" software.
2. Configure the Communication Port:
   • For RS-485: Select the detected COM port.
   • For Ethernet: Select "[TCP/IP Only]".
3. Enable "Polling Message From Controller" with a Polling Interval of 200ms.
4. Click "YES" to confirm settings.
5. Open the "Node Number for Polling" window.
6. Select the appropriate Node ID (e.g., 001) and the corresponding controller type.
7. For Ethernet mode, input the device's IP Address (default 192.168.1.127) and Port (default 1621).
8. Click "YES" to finalize the node polling setup.
9. Open the "Controller On/Off Line" window to verify the connection status. A "Well" status indicates a successful connection.

Software: Parameters Setting (Door Number and Users Edit)

After connecting with 701Server:

1. Navigate to the "82x Parameters Setting" section.
2. Select the Target Node ID for the 716-E16 (matching the DIP switch setting).
3. Click "[Read]" to retrieve the device's current parameters.
4. Click the "716-E16" button to configure Door Numbers. Input unique door numbers for slave readers.
5. Remarks on Node IDs:
   • WG0: Fixed to Node ID 17.
   • WG1: Fixed to Node ID 18.
   • CH1 RS-485 Reader: Node IDs 03 to 08.
   • CH2 RS-485 Reader: Node IDs 09 to 16.
6. Set Door Names using the "Door Name Edit" feature in the 701Client Software. This logs the door name when a user accesses it.
7. Add, delete, or modify users in the "User Card Edit" section. This requires inputting user number, card code, access mode, user name, and optionally a PIN code. Save the information to the controller.
