1.4 Applications
Access Control System – Traditional Installation
Most of the enterprise and government use access control plate and Mifare or RFID to authorize the entrance identity.
With traditional deploy, access control machine use RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface and cables connect to login server.
With connection to ICS-10x Serial over Fast Ethernet Converter, the access control machine is able to be extend over
longer distances via fiber optical interface. Or the ICS-10x can be linked to a xDSL router to get the internet access
capability; the access control can be set and monitored over the internet.
