Inception Door Configuration

Overview

Inception supports up to 128 doors total, with 4 doors manageable directly from the on-board controller hardware using a combination of OSDP/SIFER or Wiegand interfaces.

Technical Details

On-board Door Capacity

  • RS485 LAN Reader Port: Supports up to 8 Readers (e.g., Entry/Exit for 4 doors).
  • Wiegand Support: Supported via optional OSDP<>Wiegand Converters. Up to 8 converters can be used on-board.

Expansion Door Capacity

  • LAN Expansion: Reach the 128-door limit using expansion modules.
    • SLAM: Supports up to 2 doors each.
    • ILAM: Supports up to 8 doors each.
  • Wireless Doors: Supports Aperio wireless locks via the ILAM module (v6.0+).

Configuration / Programming

Door Logic

  • Reader Mapping: Readers are mapped to doors via the web interface.
  • Lock Control: Use the 4 on-board relays for local locks. For expanded doors, use the relays on the SLAM/ILAM.
  • Monitoring: 8 on-board universal inputs can be configured for Door Reeds, Tongue Sense, REX, and REN.

Cabling and Topology

  • Reader Port: Max total cabling length is 1000m.
  • LAN Topology: Supports Star and Daisy-chain configurations.
    • Total LAN Cabling: Without LAN Isolators, should not exceed 2000 metres and/or 64 Modules.
    • Segment Limit: No module to be more than 1.5km (1500m) from the Control Module or a LAN Isolator.
  • Termination: The Inception RS485 LAN is self-terminating.
    • LCD Terminals: Elite LCD Terminals MUST NOT be terminated (remove the “Term” link).
  • Earthing: Ensure 0V (Common) and DET- have NO local connection to Earth at remote modules. System Ground (0V) is connected to Mains Earth via the Controller only.
