System Architecture Overview
The System Controller functions as the brain of the System that receive information and sends out
information. It contains the database that stores all data for devices, schedules, persons, etc., as well
as the User Interface software that can be accessed from a computer via a web browser.
Various components can be connected to the System Controller, including door controllers, readers,
input/output expansion modules, siren relays, strobe relays, and strike relays. These components can
be considered the arms of the System; they feed data into the System and also carry out actions
requested by the System.
