Access Control Time Management

Axesso

Access control systems based on access cards and card readers are becoming increasingly common in building technology.

The advantages compared with conventional, key-based locking systems are obvious: Easy and flexible handling combined with

maximum security. Unlike a classic key, additional functions can be integrated into a card system.

For example, functions such as time-management

and access protocol can be incorporated. A card

thereby not only enables access to a building but

also replaces the traditional time card.

Especially in commercial premises, often a large

number of different doors need to be opened.

Different main entrances, access to a car park,

access to outdoor facilities, access to different

offices and labs, access to meeting rooms and

lift activation.

Even in simple office buildings, numerous different

locking procedures are often required. Using a

card-based system therefore does not only offer

greater flexibility but also a more economical

solution than a complex locking system with

different key hierarchies.

Access control in modern buildings – controlled entry without keys

Axesso card readers – Solutions for different applications and user requirements

ANODISING COLORS ALUMINIUM

C0 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 EV2 EV3

Axesso card readers are available for different card technologies and in different designs. The Largho design offers both readers

with classic contact chip cards and readers for contactless RF-ID cards in modern 13,56 MHz technology.

Moreover, the Largho Design readers can be ordered with either one or two additional, freely programmable pushbuttons. This

offers a simple and cost-effective way of incorporating an additional bell button or light switch, which activate the desired function

directly via KNX.

As is the case with all IPAS design products, different anodised colours can be chosen for the high quality aluminium surface.

IPAS card readers therefore fit in perfectly with any architectural environment.

The most important components within the Axesso System are the KNX card readers. The Axesso readers have a KNX connector

and can be directly integrated into the installation bus system.

A KNXnet/IP gateway (e.g. IPAS ComBridge NCI) connects

the KNX system and the IP (Ethernet) network of the

server via the Axesso Server Software. This means that the

communication of the server software with the readers is

based on the existing building networks KNX and Ethernet.

The Axesso readers work autonomously within the KNX

system. If the access cards have been programmed, no

server is required to obtain access within the system.

If a card is inserted into the reader or placed before it, the

device compares the access code on the card with the code

saved on the reader. If the two match, the reader permits

access. An electronic door release can be contacted directly

by the switch contact that is integrated in the reader.

No communication with the KNX bus and no additional

actuators are required to grant access rights. Manipulation

through a bus telegram therefore becomes impossible.

A communications object that will enable access via an

external switch actuator is, of course, available for applications with low security requirements. In addition to the binary output

to control the door lock, some Axesso card readers also have two inputs for binary signals. These can, for example, be used to

analyse door contacts. Unauthorised or forceful entry to a room can thereby be notified as an alarm via the KNX system, which

again means:

"Easy handling, maximum security"

In addition to the card readers, the central system component is the Axesso software that is installed on the server. The Axesso

software is used for the central administration of card holder and card details. Both the access codes on the reader and the cards

themselves are programmed using the software. Using the web interface, the service and operating

personnel of a building can create new users and grant or cancel access rights within seconds.

Basic functions are easy to use and intuitive and icons are easy to understand.

The web-based concept of the Axesso software makes it possible to operate the software from

additional operator stations. This way the Axesso server with the sensitive card holder information

can be installed in a safe server room whilst the operator stations used to generate the cards or to

administer and generate reports can be set up locally for the respective service or administration

personnel. The operator stations require no specific software as they directly access the Axesso pages via the standard Internet

Explorer and the IP network.

If the Axesso software is active, each access is recorded on the system and entered into a chronological database. This makes

it possible to know which card holder was in the building or a specific room at what time. If required by data protection laws,

access details can be automatically and permanently deleted after a prescribed period.

The Axesso software offers the possibility to calculate the times that a card holder spends within a building. Daily usage/working

hours can be accumulated for any length of time. A data export function makes it possible to use this information for accounting

purposes. Axesso thereby become a time recording system.

When an access card is created, specific card holder scenes can be defined and assigned to the card. This means that simply

on opening the door, room temperature and lighting can be adjusted to a card holder‘s personal preference.

Axesso WP readers have been developed specifically for use in outdoor facilities

or pool areas. This particular model is only available with RF-ID technology. The

reader unit and controller unit are mounted separately and are only connected

through a cable.

The sealed reader unit is completely humidity-proof and temperature-resistant. It

can therefore be mounted outside without any problem. Connection to the KNX

bus is via the controller unit which is mounted on the weatherproof inside of a wall,

in close proximity to the reader unit.

The IPAS Axesso offers attractive possibilities for use in a hotel environment. A special card reader model for hotel applications

offers not only the usual operational LEDs but additional room status displays. This means that the service personnel can see a

guest’s requirements at a glance.

Especially in modern apartment hotels, apartments may require their own bell. The bell button can be directly integrated into the

card reader. Through individual engraving

the device can also be transformed into

an elegant door sign.

Particularly interesting for the hotel environment is the

Axesso card holder to activate a room. Unlike the standard

device, the IPAS card holder double-checks the card code

and only if the right card is inserted in the slot can power

supply and air conditioning be activated. A guest cannot

leave these on by inserting a different card, e.g. a credit card into the slot. The IPAS Axesso system thereby helps hotels to

save energy.

Axesso can also be linked to other property management systems. A special version of the Axesso software provides an interface

to the widely used FIAS protocol (Fidelio Interface Application Specification). Axesso thereby becomes part of a hotel’s complete

reservation and administration system.
