Designed Function
The ARS6311-RX reader has been designed for use in access control installations
as an indoor and outdoor proximity reader to enable user identification via EM 125
kHz UNIQUE standard proximity cards and SiPass-/CerPass cards. The ARS6311-
RX can be configured for Stand-alone Mode (called OFFLINE Mode) or for use
with an external Access Control Unit (ACU) supporting compatible data interface
formats (ONLINE Mode).
The ARS6311-RX configured for ONLINE Mode works as a slave unit with its func-
tions restricted down to reading cards and providing subsequent transmission of
such collected data to the host ACU for further processing. The ARS6311-RX of-
fers several data transmission formats available for use in ONLINE Mode, which
include the popular Wiegand and Magstripe (i.e. simulation of output of a magnetic
card reader) data protocols.
When configured for Stand-alone operation (OFFLINE Mode), an ARS6311-RX
independently (i.e. autonomously) controls the supervised door access point. For
this mode, it offers the option for communication with the external I/O Board
ACS6311. An access control installation contains two ARS6311-RX (one at the en-
try, the other at the exit side of the door) enables two-way passage control. The
system setup utilizing an ACS6311 provides higher level of security for access con-
trol by separating its logical element (the reader) from the actuator element control-
ling door lock (i.e. the door lock relay).
NOTE
When configured for Stand-alone Mode, an ARS6311-RX may be used in pair with another ARS se-
ries reader. In this setup both reader can provide two-way door control (entry and exit).
