Web-Based Access Control Solution
ACW2-XN
Can HID Access Manager handle separated secure areas?
Yes it can:
All access control administration is performed via the ACW2-XN Master.
The ACW2-XN Slave is offline capable.
•
This means that access control in the remote area will continue to function normally in the event
of a break in the RS-485 cable.
•
The cable break event will logged on the ACW2-XN Master.
•
When the RS-485 cable is restored, the HID Access Manager’s event log will be updated with any
events that happened on the slave side while the cable was broken.
•
HID Access Manager system event logs will reveal where a person has been spending their time.
