MxBus Interface

This section allows activating/deactivating the MxBus interface. The section also lists the current status of the attached MxBus modules and allows opening the status log.

Service Functions

This section allows resetting all attached MxBus modules to their factory defaults. In addition, you can backup the configuration of each MxBus module or restore the configuration from a backup you created earlier.

On cameras with door station functionality, you can also start the initial operation of the door station modules (e.g., KeypadRFID and MX-DoorMaster).

Device

This section shows information on the attached MxBus modules (serial number, software version, hardware version) and allows activating/deactivating the Classic Mode for some MxBus modules.

Notes on the Classic Mode

Some MxBus modules can be used in Classic Mode, some modules can only be used in classic mode, others only in MxMessageSystem mode ("non-classic mode").

The following table shows the differences between the classic mode and the MxMessageSystem mode:

Classic Mode	MxMessageSystem Mode
Direct communication with the corresponding module (without having to configure MxMessageSystem message). Direct processing of the information from the corresponding module in the camera's web interface: Using an MX-GPS-Box as time server Switching the signal outputs of an MX-232-IO-Box connected via MxBus or use the signal inputs for event control.	It is not possible (or only with restrictions) to process the information from the corresponding module in the camera's web interface, since the communication with the module is based entirely on MxMessageSystem messages. Additional information: Network Distribution of Messages Message Configuration for MxBus Modules Message Profiles for Action Groups For an introduction and examples on this subject, please see the Technical Note: MxMessageSystem from the MOBOTIX Download Center in the Documentation > Brochures & Guides > Compact Guides section.

- Using an MX-GPS-Box as time server
- Switching the signal outputs of an MX-232-IO-Box connected via MxBus or use the signal inputs for event control.

The Status Details column shows the current communication status of the camera and the MxBus module:

Value	Explanation
Active	The module is properly attached to the system and communication is encrypted.
Available	The module is available, but communication is not yet encrypted.
Not available	Communication with this module has been disrupted. Click on Remove to permanently remove the corresponding module from the configuration.
Invalid Encryption	Communication with this module has been disrupted. Restore the configuration using the appropriate encryption data or reset the module to factory defaults.

For modules that are marked by , you can change individual parameters of the configuration. Click on the icon or the module name to see the parameters that are available for this module:

Parameter

Description

Cable Termination

This parameter allow configuring the MxBus cable termination. Termination needs to be activated in the last module of the chain.

Output Mode

Sets the operating mode of the outputs of the MX-DoorMaster. You can set the following options:

Self-powered	The door opener is powered by the MX-DoorMaster. Output 2 provides 12 V/1 A for this purpose. The theft protection can be attached to output 1.
Relay	Use this mode to power door openers with up to 24 V/1 A. Note that you need an additional power adapter for this mode. The theft protection can be attached to output 1.
Mediator	Use this mode to power the self-locking Mediator door lock. Since the lock uses both outputs, you need to implement the theft protection using a separate hook-up.

Note

This parameter is only available for the MX-DoorMaster.

Backup Power

This section allows checking the status of the backup power supply by the MX-DoorMaster. Note that the backup power supply allows opening the door even in case of a power failure.

Note

This parameter is only available for the MX-DoorMaster.

RFID Encryption

This parameter allows setting the RFID encryption type for the KeypadRFID and BellRFID modules. By factory default, this has been set to 3K3DES, which combines good reading range of RFID transponders with high security. If required, you can use AES encryption, but you should consider that this reduces the effective RFID reading range.

Note

This parameter is only available for KeypadRFID and BellRFID.

Background Illumination

This parameter allows setting the background illumination for the KeypadRFID and BellRFID modules. You can choose a specific level of illumination or an automatic setting, which adjusts to the ambient illumination.

Note

This parameter is only available for KeypadRFID and BellRFID.
