Access Control
In its simplest sense, access control is the management of WHO goes WHERE and WHEN. Persons are uniquely identified through an access card or fob, and will be able to enter only at assigned doors and days/times.
An access control system identifies each person by means of a card or fob, which is presented to a reader located at the entrance to each access-controlled area. The system automatically grants or rejects access to the area, depending on the access rights you have set up.
The access rights you set up are automatically downloaded to the control units which perform all local access decisions without PC control.

The user interface provides flexibility without complexity, enabling sophisticated access rights to be set up quickly and easily to match each card holder’s individual needs.
