2.2.6  Downstream Devices Tab
The NetAXS™ downstream devices provide the NetAXS™ panel with additional inputs and outputs. 
The NetAXS™ panel supports two downstream board types:
• NX4IN—Provides 32 supervised, four-state inputs that are limited to 2.2K ohms resistance. 
The NX4IN must be assigned network addresses 1 and 2.
• NX4OUT—Provides two supervised inputs and 16 SPDT relay outputs; each input is limited to 
2.2K ohms resistance. The NX4OUT must be assigned network addresses 3-6.
Notes:
• The NX4IN and NX4OUT network addresses are set by the DIP switches on each board. Refer 
to the NetAXS™ NX4IN/NX4OUT Input/Output Configuration Guide for more information 
about configuring the NX4IN and NX4OUT boards.
• A NetAXS™ panel supports a maximum of six daisy-chained downstream boards—two 
NX4IN and four NX4OUT boards. The boards connect to the NetAXS™ panel’s Downstream 
port (Terminal Block 10).

2.3.2  Time Zones Tab
The NetAXS™ panel controls access by using time zones, or time schedules. Inputs, outputs, groups, 
readers, access levels, and cards through access levels are all configured with time zones by which 
they will be energized or de-energized, enabled or disabled. For example, you might assign a group of 
outputs to be energized from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. every day. The 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., Sunday 
through Saturday, time period is called a time zone. The Time Zones tab enables you to create the time 
zones you will use to configure your NetAXS™ system.
Click 
Time Zones to display the Time Zones screen:
Figure 2-9:   Configuration > Time Management > Time Zones Tab
The Time Zones tab enables you to: 
• Create a new time zone.
• Modify a time zone.
• Delete a time zone.
Steps to create a time zone: 
1. Enter the name of the new time zone in the 
Name field. 
2. Enter a start time and an end time for the time zone.
3. Select the days of the week during which the time zone will be in effect.

4. If the time zone will be linked to another time zone, select the “linked to” time zone’s number 
from the drop down list. 
Caution: We recommend that you read the explanation of time zone linking below (see Linking 
Time Zones) before you link time zones. An example is provided to help you create the links 
successfully.
5. Click the 
Add Time Zone button.
Steps to modify a time zone: 
1. In the Tz column, click the number of the time zone you want to modify.
2. Change the time zone settings as you desire.
3. Click the 
Modify button to accept the changes.
Steps to delete a time zone:
Caution: Do not delete a time zone that is currently in use. 
1. In the Tz column, click the number of the time zone you want to delete.
2. Click the 
Delete button.
3. Click 
OK at the delete prompt.
Linking Time Zones
You assign each Time Zone a specific start time and end time. The maximum time range is from 12:00 
a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Note that the time range cannot cross midnight. You can set this time range to be 
effective for any day of the week, including weekends (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). These days can also include holidays, which are considered special 
days that take precedence over a standard day. Also, since Access Levels, Outputs, Inputs, Groups can 
only be given one Time Zone selection at a time, you can link Time Zones together to create bigger 
time zones that could not fit into a single Time Zone.
For example, suppose you must create a Cleaning Crew Time Zone. The time zone(s) are to be set up 
as follows: Monday-Friday 5 p.m.-1 a.m., Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m.-1 p.m., no holidays. This 
becomes three separate time zones, as follows.
Time Zone # Time Range
2 Monday-Friday, 5 p.m.-11:59 p.m.
(Remember, the time range cannot cross 
midnight, so 11:59 p.m. is the limit.)
3 Tuesday-Saturday, 12:00 a.m.-1:00 a.m.
4 Saturday-Sunday, 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. 
						

							28www.honeywell.com Configuring via the Web Server
Configuring the System
Note:  Time Zone 1 is reserved as a default with a time range of 24 hours, seven days a week.
So, we need to add three time zones to the panel. Then, with the Link Time Zone feature, you can link 
them so that they all work together:
1. Add Time Zone 2 and select Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Enter a start 
time of 5:00 p.m.and an end time of 11:59 p.m. Leave the Link to Time Zone field blank.
2. Add Time Zone 3 and select Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Enter a start 
time of 12:00 a.m. and an end time of 1:00 a.m. In the Link to Time Zone field, select Time 
Zone 2 to link Time Zones 2 and 3 together.
3. Add Time Zone 4 and select Saturday and Sunday. Enter a start time of 8:00 a.m. and an end 
time of 1:00 p.m. In the Link to Time Zone field, select Time Zone 3 to link Time Zones 2, 3, 
and 4 together.
Linked in this way, Time Zone 4 tells the NetAXS™ system that it is also to use Time Zone 3, and 
Time Zone 3 tells the system that it is to also use Time Zone 2. Since Time Zone 4 is the “start” of this 
linked chain, it is the Time Zone that would be operative for the Cleaning Crew Access Level. That is, 
the doors to which the cleaning crew would have access would be assigned Time Zone 4. And, by 
assigning them Time Zone 4, they would also have access during Time Zones 3 and 2—because they 
are linked.
Note that in this example, Time Zone 2 is not linked to Time Zone 4. This is by rule. Time Zone links 
should start on one end and stop at other. If you link the start of a Time Zone chain to the end, you 
create a condition called a “circular interlock,” which would cause your time zones to not function 
properly. The panel will send you a warning, should you try to create a circular interlock.

2.3.3  Holidays Tab
Holidays are days when no work is scheduled at the facility. These holidays are used in time zone 
configuration (see “Time Zones Tab“ on page 26).
Click the 
Holidays tab:
Figure 2-10:   Configuration > Time Management > Holidays Tab
The Holidays tab enables you to: 
• Create a holiday.
• Modify a holiday.
• Delete a holiday.
Note:  Holidays should be considered special days of a week. They are similar, but of higher rank than 
the standard Monday-Sunday. If a day programmed as a Holiday should occur in the panel, the panel 
will treat that day as the Holiday type, regardless of the actual day of the week (Monday-Sunday). 
During this Holiday, only Time Zones that contain that specific Holiday type will work. The Holiday 
allows users to further customize how the panel works. For example, the user can block access to a 
building on that day, or grant special access during that day.
Each Holiday added is considered a full day, extending from midnight to midnight. The options 
available when configuring a holiday are Annual, Type, Date and Year. While Annual is enabled, the 
date added as a Holiday will be a Holiday every year. This disables the Annual check box and allows a 
user to select a specific year, so that only during that date and year will the Holiday selection work. 
						

							30www.honeywell.com Configuring via the Web Server
Configuring the System
While Annual is selected, the Year box is grayed out.   The NX4 can support three different Holiday 
Types (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3), but a user can only select one type per day. Also of note, a single 
calendar day cannot be set for more than one type of Holiday. For example, the 4th of July could be a 
Type 1 Holiday, but then Type 2 and 3 would not be able to work on the 4
th of July. Holidays or special 
events that require multiple days will require a Holiday entry for each date that is to be special. For 
example, Thanksgiving is usually two days, Thursday and Friday. Both of these days would require a 
separate Holiday date entry and use the same Holiday Type. Beyond that, Type 1, 2, and 3 can be 
configured any way you wish.
Steps to create a holiday: 
1. Enter the name of the new holiday in the 
Name field (up to 25 characters). 
2. If the holiday will occur annually, select the 
Annual checkbox.
3. Assign a type to the holiday, either Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3. The type you assign will map to 
a time zone configuration, and the holiday will be regarded according to the rules of that time 
zone (see “Time Zones Tab“ on page 26).
4. Select the holiday’s month and date from the drop down lists.
5. Click the 
Add Holiday button.
Steps to modify a holiday: 
1. In the Holiday column, click the number of the holiday you want to modify.
2. Change the holiday settings as you desire.
3. Click the 
Modify button to accept the changes.
Steps to delete a holiday: 
1. In the Holiday column, click the number of the holiday you want to delete.
2. Click the 
Delete button.
3. Click 
OK at the delete prompt.
