(V) ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM :
(a) Single Network Controller/Reader
1. The network controller/reader shall provide access control processing, host functionality
and power for a single door, including lock, door status, request-to-exit device And
auxiliary sounder.
2. The network controller/reader shall be of single piece design with integrated card reader
as follows:
Proximity card reader.
The reader shall encrypt all 13.56MHz RF data transmission between the card and
reader using industry standard encryption techniques and advanced key management.
3. The network controller/reader shall provide a complete, fully featured access control
hardware and firmware infrastructure for host-based access control software applications.
4. The network controller/reader shall communicate with hosted access control software
using TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet or Internet and shall have an RS-232 port for
Modem or connectivity to other systems.
5. The network door controller/reader shall be capable of employing AES 256 with
symmetrical key encryption for all communications between the controller and host(s)
system(s).
6. The network controller/reader shall provide full distributed processing of all access control
functions. The unit shall provide fully functional off line operation when not actively
communicating with the host access control software application; performing all access
decisions and event logging. Upon connection with the host access control software
application, the network door controller or network controller/reader shall upload all
buffered off-line transactions (minimum of 5,000) to the host software.
7. The network controller/reader shall incorporate a 32-bit 100 MHz RISC processor running
the Linux operating system. The unit shall include a Windows® DLL, and the direct-
communication OPIN® API for integration to host-based access control applications.
8. The network controller/reader shall not be a proprietary product of the manufacturer of
the host access control software application, and must have the ability to migrate to an
alternative manufacturer’s host access control software application by remote
reconfiguration or firmware upgrade and without intervention from the original controller
manufacturer.
9. The network controller/reader shall provide diagnostics and configuration operations
through connection to a local laptop computer.
10. The network controller/reader shall provide on-board Flash memory to allow program
updates to be downloaded directly via the network. The network controller/reader shall
provide the following minimum memory:
a. 8 MB on-board Flash memory
b. 32 MB SDRAM
c. 256k SRAM
11. The network door controller or network controller/reader shall provide the following
certifications:
a. CSA 205
b. FCC Class A Verification
c. EMC for Canada, EU (CE Mark), Australia (C-Tick Mark), New Zealand, Japan
d. EN 50130-4 Access Control Systems Immunity for the EU (CE Mark)
12. The network controller/reader shall meet the following physical specifications:
a. Cover Material: UL94 Polycarbonate
b. Power Requirements: 250-1000 mA @ 12 VDC provided either through:
1. 12 – 16 VDC linear Power Supply
2. 802.3af compliant Power Over Ethernet (POE) device
