Basic Concepts of Access Control
System Overview
The KEYSCAN Access system consists of six integrated components as follows:
• System III software
• personal computer (PC)
• security card
• card reader and/or keypad
• locking hardware
• Access Control Unit (Unit)
Together these components work to give you complete security and access control
management.
After installing your System III software, you key in all security information such as system
parameters, cardholders and data and time schedules. (This manual walks you through this
step-by-step).
Your information is then automatically (or manually) uploaded to your Units.
To enter or exit an area, each cardholder must present their card or token to a card reader.
A keypad can be used alone or in combination with a card reader for even greater security.
Using the System III software and either modems or network interface devices, you can
operate multiple Units at different locations.
Together, your PC, software, and Units function as one system to manage access to an
unlimited number of sites, store cardholder information and display up-to-the-second alarm
activity.
Using a modem you can “dial up” your sites or by using a Keyscan “LAN/WAN” converter you
will be able to program or change your Unit’s programming — no matter where your Unit is
located.
Units control card readers, keypads, elevators —are under your control. You can have up to
32 possible Units at one site with 2, 4 or 8 card readers / keypads for a possible total of 256
Readers & 10 Elevator Controls.
