3 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 3 / 15 1 Introduction The NCC-20x box is the main hardware part of the EAS data network. It is used for collecting and managing alarm data as well as customer counting data. The NCC-20x is available with the following network connection possibilities: - RS-232 only - RS-232 and LAN connection with integrated Internet browser (Ethernet connector). - RS-232 and WLAN connection with integrated Internet browser. Later on in that manual the NCC-20x box will be called simply NCC 2 Hardware 2.1 Connection possibilities Location of the connectors see appendix Connector Device connected X1 Power supply input 18VAC X9 Can be used for either connecting a people frequency counting (PFC) module or as general purpose (GP) inputs. X10 Can be used for either connecting a people frequency counting (PFC) module or as general purpose (GP) inputs. X11 RS-232 connector LAN Connector pair where a LANTRONIX LAN module (XPort Direct+) can be plugged in. WLAN Connector pair where a LANTRONIX WLAN module can be plugged in (an additional WLAN antenna is necessary). COM Connector pair where either an optical glass fiber or an plastic optical fiber (POF) COM module can be plugged in. 2.2 LED display Using that LED display different states of the NCC can be indicated LED WLAN LED OFN LED SUP LED PWR LED Name Function PWR Power NCC is powered SUP Start up Lights during startup of the NCC box OFN Optical Fiber Network Optical network interrupted WLAN Wireless LAN Lights when WLAN connection is ok

4 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 4 / Hardware configurations LAN connection The NCC box can be equipped with a LANTRONIX LAN module (XPort Direct+) XPort Direct+ The XPort Direct+ contains the following LEDs: Link (Green LED) Activity (Yellow LED) Link LED Activity LED WLAN connection If the WLAN module is used a WLAN antenna has to be built in into the NCC box. The NCC box can be equipped with a LANTRONIX WLAN module (Match Port b/g) WLAN antenna WLAN module

5 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 5 / Optical fiber network EAS devices can be connected to the NCC box using COM module. 2 Types of COM modules are available either glass or plastic optical fiber. POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) COM module white = transmitter black = receiver 2.4 Optional features People frequency counter (PFC) (integrated version) PFC receiver modules can be connected to connector X9 and/or connector X10 One module can be built in directly into the NCC box PFC standalone version If an NCC-202 (NCC with built in NCC PFC Adapter electronics) is used a real standalone solution can be realized. This means that the PFC connectors (X9, X10) are lead to RJ45 female connectors at the front of the NCC box. For every connected PFC module a separately configurable blocking alarm is connected to these RJ45 female connectors as well. Using CAT5 batch cables (4 twisted pair cables) an external PFC box containing a PFC receiver module can be connected to these RJ45 female connectors. To that box an external sounder and/or lamp for issuing blocking alarms can be connected (details see appendix chapter 4.2). PFC box Using batch cables 2 such PFC boxes can be connected to the NCC with built in PFC adapter

6 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 6 / Real time pager alarm With an additional pager interface (RS485) built in into a NCC-20x box a real time alarm can be forwarded to a connected pager system (pager with 2 line display). This high priority alarm has to be activated on the SRC or SLE electronics connected, and can be configured in the AGONET software (NCC user interface and right mouse button of the connected devices). 3 Software Because the NCC box is the main part (heart) of the AGONET solution system specific software functions are not explained in this manual. Functions which can not be found in this manual are explained in the AGONET system manual. 3.1 Connecting to the NCC RS485 connection Pager transmitter Pager receiver Open the NCC basic user by double click on the NCC name (LIST OF DEVICES) 3.2 NCC basic user interface The CONFIG EVENT part and the PFC check are covered in this manual.

7 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 7 / Device data and software version The NCC software version can be seen in the NCC basic user interface. Software update is explained in chapter 3.3. Software version Data download interval The NCC box downloads data from the connected EAS devices automatically (polling) within a specified download time interval. The data download interval can be selected by the Scan Period pull down menu AGONET activation For network ability reasons AGONET has to be activated (AGONET checkmark set). The AGONET checkmark is set by default. AGONET checkmark Pager alarm configuration After setting a check mark on Pager Board check box the pager display configuration can be opened by clicking on the CONF PAGER button.

8 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 8 / 15 Maximum text length per line is 11 characters. Text line 1 can fully be overwritten. On text line 2 the text can also be changed but the signs shall not be removed because they are wild-cards for the addresses of the connected devices (alarm identifier) Modem data rate adjustment If an external GSM modem is connected to the RS232 interface the data transfer rate has to be reduced to 38400Bd (click on the Modem check box). If an Ethernet network is connected to the same NCC box the LANTRONIX module has to be set to 38400Bd as well Data logging and people frequency counting Data logging and the additional inputs X9 and X10 can be activated and configured by mouse click on the CONFIG EVENT button. Configuration Window

9 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 9 / System parameter logging EVENT SOURCE 5 9 can be evaluated to be logged by setting a checkmark into the relevant check box. Every event on such a marked item results in a data set. For test reasons the last 25 data sets produced by the NCC itself (logging parameters and PFC events) can be displayed People frequency counting and general purpose input configuration Note: For the configuration of these inputs it is necessary to set a check mark into the INPUT ACTIV check box. Without that check mark people frequency counting configuration is not possible. There are 2 possibilities for processing people frequency counting data. Either data is processed external on the PFC modul or internal on the NCC electronics (for the internal method NCC software version 1.10 or higher is necessary). The default method is external. Common configurations for internal and external PFC data processing For both processing methods the same people frequency counting modules can be used. The modules are also connected to the same connectors (X9, X10). The only difference is the jumper setting on the PFC modules (for details see: Technical Manual PFC ). For the EVENT SOURCE 1 4 the following sources can be allocated. PFCx IN: People frequency counting (incoming) PFCx OUT: People frequency counting (outgoing) GPx: General purpose input (subsequent numbers are for differentiation only) Note: The numbers prefixed to the event text can later be used as event identifiers. For every input the active edge can be specified by setting a check mark into the appropriated check box (normally rising edge is used). With an AGON people frequency counting module connected to X9 or X10 (inputs configured PFCx IN and PFCx OUT) people frequency counting can be realized in both directions IN and OUT. External PFC data processing This is the standard method. Counting impulses PFCx IN and PFCx OUT are directly generated on the PFR modul. The PFR module has to be set to pulse mode.

10 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 10 / 15 Internal PFC data processing For that method the PFR module has to be set to light barrier mode, and on the NCC electronics software version 1.10 or higher is necessary. In this software an additional blocking function is available. This means that when people remains in the gate for longer than the specified time a blocking alarm will be issued. The configuration of the internal PFC data processing method can be activated by setting a check mark into the PFC_INT check box. After setting this check mark the internal configuration window can be opend by clicking on the CONF PFC_INT button PFC_INT Conguration Window On this window the PFC internal mode can be activated (ON) and the blocking function can be configured. Activate the internal analysis function on the input connectors. Reduced Criteria Mode (RCM): RCM means that not all beam interruption criteria have to be fulfilled Normal full counting procedure (interruption criteria): (no beam, first beam, both beams, second beam, no beam) RCM is intended for use in a crowded environment, where a lot of people is crossing and doubling in the gates. Assign event IDs for Start and Stop blocking No Events means that the blocking function is activated but no events are logged (alarm only). undef shall not be used

11 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 11 / 15 The following parameters are used to define the blocking alarm: Blocking Time (common for X9, X10): An alarm is issued after that specified time. (Default: 20s) The blocking time function can be switched off by setting the blocking time to zero. Beeper Alarm OFF : For the PFC inputs X9, X10 the audible alarm can be switched off separately. (Default: ON) ALARM TIMING : For the PFC inputs X9, X10 the blocking alarm time intervals can be configured different. (Default: 320ms each) 3.3 Software update Clear software The old software can be deleted by clicking on the displayed NCC electronics using the right mouse button. Click on Clear Software The following warning will be displayed If you are sure that you want to program a new software version. Click on CLEAR Thereafter the NCC icon on LIST OF DEVICES becomes red and would now be ready for programming the new software Load new software By clicking on the displayed NCC electronics in boot mode, using the right mouse button Program new Software mode can be started. Click on Program new Software

12 Technical Manual NCC-20x Page 12 / 15 After clicking on Program new Software first a window for selecting the new software file appears.
