Features of M4 and M8 modes:
- It can work standalone (1024 users) or with a multi-door network controller (15,000 users).
- AR-701CM can be directly connected to a PC using an RS-485 - RS-232 converter.
- Event memory capable of storing 1200 events.
- A separate 4-digit user code can be assigned to each user.
- All 1024 users (0000-1023) are entitled to elevator control.
- Together with two AR-401R16 elevator controllers, it can control 32 levels.

Comment:
The M4 and M8 operating modes differ in that, in [code only] door control mode, the use of user number and user code is required in M4 mode, and only the user code is required for door control in M8 mode.

Features of M6 mode:
- It can operate independently with a maximum of 65,536 users.
- Door control is only possible with a card.
