The computer running GV-ASManager software can be used to monitor the access
information and alarm messages from GV-AS120. The communication link between the
computer and GV-AS120 can be either through RS-485 or network. For RS-485 connection,
a RS-485 to RS-232 converter is required, such as a GV-Hub, GV-COM or GV-NET/ IO
Card V3.1. For network connection, an optional GV-ASBox or GV-ASNet is required.
