A connection is composed of controllers attached to the same communication port or connection. The system can manage up to 32 local sites per Multi‐site Gateway, 8 sites per NCC‐8000 Gateway, 3 physical connections per KT‐NCC Gateway, and 32 connections per Global Gateway. EntraPass also allows users to add up to 512 remote dial up connections per Multi‐site Gateway. Multi-site and Global Gateway connections are composed of KT‐100, KT‐200, KT‐300 and KT‐400 controllers. It is not recommended to use KT‐100, KT‐200, KT‐300 and KT‐400 controllers in the same loop. Five types of connections are available:
§ Direct (RS‐232 and USB)
§ Secure IP (KT‐400)
§ Secure IP (KTES)
§ Secure IP (IP Link)
§ Ethernet (polling)
§ This panel displays the connections associated with the gateway selected from the drop-down list.

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 and relays). Controllers may be defined during a connection configuration. EntraPass Web supports four types of controllers: KT‐100, KT‐200, KT‐300 and KT‐400. These provide the ability to activate local functions associated with a controller.
Note: NCC‐8000 Gateways support only KT‐200. Under a NCC‐8000 Gateway, the system allows a maximum of 16 controllers per connection and up to 8 connections per NCC‐8000. Only KT‐200 with EP‐8002 EPROM can communicate with a NCC‐8000 Gateway. Under Global, KT‐200 must be used with EP‐Entra3 EPROMs.
