KT-NCC Installation Manual
Overview
Introduction
The KT-NCC Network Communications Controller, redefines the way you can manage access control for
a widely-dispersed environment. In fact, all events from the controllers are stored in the KT-NCC for
additional security, in case of communications failure between the controllers and the server. This
innovative way of bringing the communication closer to the controller eliminates wiring costs, PC
reliability issues, and cuts down the actual distance the information has to travel through the network,
greatly reducing the bandwidth required. The KT-NCC can connect up to seven loops per gateway and
features four relays that can activate in the event of communication loss, power failure, or upon activation
of a tamper switch.

Combining the powerful EntraPass Global Edition software to the KT-NCC also allows for a more
effective way of utilizing global security features such as the anti-pass back, alarm systems, guard tours,
dual custody, etc.
The KT-NCC’s main task is to acquire information from all input channels and relay the results back to all
output channels through the controller loops. The KT-NCC communicates with the server through an
Ethernet 10/100 Base-T port and indicates its communication status through a heartbeat LED. The KT-
NCC will report low battery and battery failure events, and can activate relays in instances of battery
power loss or communication failure. For added security, the KT-NCC has an onboard rechargeable
lithium-ion battery that ensures data retention for a minimum of 75 hours, to safeguard any loss of data
due to a complete failure.
