Optional Network Connections
Linear’s AE1000Plus, AE2000Plus, & AM3Plus Access Control Systems
can be connected together in a network. A network will allow sharing
programming and user information between the systems. Program each
unit to a different network Node Address (see Page 19).
✦ IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Linear’s previous
access control Models AE-1000, AE-2000, & AM3 can be used in
networks with the Models AE1000Plus, AE2000Plus, & AM3Plus
only using AccessBase2000 software. The built-in AXNET
Browser Interface included in the “Plus” models is only compatible
with the Models AM3Plus, AE1000Plus, and AE2000Plus.
