ADVENT 1.0 (Advanced Network Access Control Manager)
 |
|
Features
Locations: Up
to 50 locations each of which can have 128 controllers each of
which can have 4 doors. This gives the system a total potential
capacity of over 25000 doors
Controllers:
Each
controller now has capacity for up to 4 doors, 250 alarm areas,
and 250 alarm inputs. Doors can have any reader technology.
(requires r3 universal firmware)
Time zones:
The
system has capacity for 1000 ‘standard’ time zones and 1000
‘extended’ time zones.
Access
levels: The
system has capacity for up to 16000 access levels. Each user in
the system can have up to 50 of these access levels assigned to
them.
Parking
control: Each
controller has capacity for up to 63 parking ‘occupancy’
levels. Each level has a defined occupancy; when that number of
people have entered no more from that group are able to get into
the car park until someone from that group leaves.
Antipassback:
Extensive
antipassback capabilities including the ability to define any
reader as Entry, Exit, Inside, Outside or Don’t care.
Antipassback can be system-wide. Also supports timed antipassback
for car park and catering control.
Programmable
macros: Any
event in the system can be programmed to cause any other event.
Useful for lighting control, tagging users, central control of
outputs.
Energy
management: Alarm
areas can be used to control lighting and air conditioning to
ensure that energy is not operating when the area is unoccupied.
Users:
Up
to 20,000 users per controller. Access at any reader is
instantaneous even with thousands of users within the controller.
Credentials:
Any
credential can be used with the system. A full 32-bits (site code
AND card number) is stored for every user. Site codes can be
mixed, the system supports non-site-coded credentials like PIN
numbers and iButtons.
Readers:
The
system supports a wide variety of readers including iButton,
mag-stripe, wiegand, proximity, presco and biometric readers like
the CS fingerprint reader and the Iris scanner technology.
Elevators:
Elevator
control is supported with up to 250 floors per elevator. Elevator
access levels allow restriction of individual floors by time.
It’s possible to trigger floors from intercoms (with a different
trigger time to when triggered by a card read) and the system
supports full floor destination reporting and single floor
selection.
Inputs
and outputs: Any
controller is fully expandable using additional input and output
boards. Inputs and outputs can be added on in pairs at very low
cost. Each controller supports up to 250 relay outputs and 250
inputs.
Alarm
reporting via email:
When
alarms occur they can be easily emailed to anyone for
verification.
Integration
with alarms: It’s
possible to control alarm areas via the access control system.
Users can arm and disarm individual alarm areas from access
control readers, and it’s also possible to restrict access so
that certain users are unable to access an area unless the alarm
is turned off.
Network
integration: Locations
in the system can be distributed across a local area network,
enabling a large integrated system to be operated from a central
point using existing infrastructure.
Mix
local and remote sites: Locations
can be connected directly to any PC in the network or connected
via dial-up modem from any PC in the network allowing extensive
flexibility in the configuration of the system.
Multiple
workstations:
The
system supports multiple workstations for connection of
controllers and reporting from any location in the network.
Holiday
periods and types: The
system supports up to 20 holiday periods. Each period has a
starting date and time and ending date and time allowing lots of
flexibility in the definition of holidays. The system also
supports different ‘types’ of holidays so that different
tenants or branches of a site can have different holidays
applying.
User
interface: The
software is very easy to use, based on the functions carried out
by a premises manager rather than being dictated by the hardware.
Operators need not understand about controllers etc because the
programming is based on ‘doors’ and ‘floors’ rather than
controllers. Elevator programming in particular is very easy as
elevators are grouped into banks meaning that programming of
individual floors is done once per bank of elevators rather than
individually per elevator.
