Architectural Overview
The Stanley NT500 Security Management Sys-
tem can be thought of as having two general
architectural models for addressing the security
needs of most customer applications. These two
models can be generally categorized as “online”
and “offline” .
In offline mode, the Stanley NT500 System can
manage readers, locks, and controllers.
The Stanley NT500 Security Management Suite
comes in four models. The NT510 and NT520 sys-
tems are designed for basic access control of
offline door management. The NT540 and NT550
systems are enhanced versions with additional
online reader capability.
