Controllers Configuration

Controllers provide audiovisual feedback on the access decision. Typically, a red/green light (LED) indicator on the reader informs the cardholder that the door is unlocked or that access has been denied. A local door alarm can be installed to provide an audible warning if the door is forced open or remains open after an access.

The controller definition tells the system how a controller is being used and what devices are associated with it: (doors, input zones, relays and output devices). Controllers may be defined during a gateway or connection configuration; or in the controller definition menu, by selecting either the controller button (Devices > Controller) or by using Express Setup program. EntraPass supports five types of controllers: KT-100, KT-200, KT-300, KT-400 and KT-1. These provide the ability to activate local functions associated with a controller. The number of devices associated with a controller varies according to the controller type. The following table summarizes the basic components associated with each type of Kantech controller:

Type Door(s) Wireless Doors (licensed) Relays Input Zones Auxiliary Outputs
