Anterus Configuration Manager

Overview

The Anterus Duet Module interfaces ANT-RDR Readers with NetLinx controllers, and adds the Anterus Configuration Manager to the NetLinx Master’s built-in web console. The Anterus Configuration Manager allows you to configure the Reader and all Tags in the Anterus solution via a web browser on any PC that has access to the NetLinx Master to which the ANT-RDR is connected.

A sample UI module and a touch panel file are provided in the module package. These are not intended to cover every possible application, but can be expanded as needed to meet the requirements of a particular installation. Refer to the documentation supplied with the Anterus Duet Module for more details.

The Anterus solution will also work without the Duet module, and all web configuration may be done with Send Commands, Channels and Levels. Refer to the Programming section on page 27 for detailed programming information.
