Description
Vivotek AO-20W Ethernet Wiegand Converter
The Vivotek AO-20W is a robust multi-protocol Ethernet to Wiegand converter designed to bridge modern IP-based security systems with traditional access control infrastructure. This compact device enables seamless integration between Ethernet networks and Wiegand-based readers, making it an essential component for hybrid security deployments that require compatibility across legacy and contemporary systems.
Key Features
- Dual-port Ethernet to Wiegand conversion with flexible protocol support
- Supports TCP/Server, TCP/Client, and UDP communication modes
- Up to 96-bit Wiegand output capability for advanced access control scenarios
- 8 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs (1 relay + 3 digital) for flexible integration
- Configurable baud rates from 2400 to 115200 bps on both serial ports
- 1K buffer per channel for reliable data handling
- Comprehensive surge protection with bi-directional avalanche breakdown devices
- Built-in watchdog for automatic system error recovery
Technical Specifications
- Network: 10/100 Mbps Base-T Ethernet with RS485 and RS232 auto-detection
- Power: DC 9-24V input, maximum 2W consumption
- Operating temperature: -20°C to 65°C (working); -25°C to 85°C (storage)
- Humidity: 20-90% working; 5-95% storage
- Dimensions: 106.5 x 66.3 x 27.7 mm; Weight: 86g
- Certifications: FCC, CE, RoHS
- Configuration: Web browser-based via 701Server/701Client software
- Compatible with Windows 7/8/10 and Windows Server 2008/2012/2016
Applications
Ideal for access control upgrades, parking management systems, perimeter security installations, and facilities requiring integration between IP networks and Wiegand-based readers. The converter's multi-protocol support makes it suitable for complex security environments where legacy and modern systems must coexist efficiently.
