This manual introduces the use of AR-716EV2 (RS-485) AR-716Ei (10 Base-T) Multi-door Networking Controller.
This manual covers the hardware installation of the AR-716EV2/716Ei controller, including mounting, connector wiring, and push‑button/lock integration. It also explains how to configure the controller software, set door numbers, and map DI inputs to relay outputs.
Network configuration is detailed, with steps for setting IP addresses via Net727i software, DHCP, or the AR-801CM utility, as well as guidance for connecting the controller to other devices such as the AR-721H. The document finishes with a section on the AR-727i auxiliary unit, factory‑reset procedures, DIP‑switch settings, and key points to avoid communication errors.
