Enhanced Security with
AdapTec-X is a basic accessory suggested for FingerTec ac-
cess control systems. It enhances access control functionali-
ties as well as eases the installation process with its encrypt-
ed communication and secure I/O expansion features and all
these features are compressed into a sleek casing to deliver a
cost effective solution.
HOW ADAPTEC-X ENHANCES SECURITY
To provide you enhanced security, AdapTec-X will only recognize
encrypted Wiegand signals from FingerTec terminals in order to un-
lock its doors. The code of the encrypted signals is written into the
firmware of FingerTec terminals, which cannot be duplicated into
other devices. This prevents hackers from bypassing this by simply
providing the relay signal to AdapTec-X. Furthermore, separate pow-
er outputs for the door lock system and FingerTec terminals will keep
the door locked even during any failures (i.e.: vandalism to terminals,
etc.). For added security, a siren output port is ready to be linked up
to alarms or sirens to produce alert sounds in case of forced door
openings.
