3. Fiber Optics
4. TCP/IP IPV IV and IPV VI protocols
Note:
A Host Server shall be able to employ any combination of the above
communication types.
E.
COM Port/Serial type (RS232/RS422) Connections:
1. The PC shall have a minimum of two serial ports.
2. The system (consisting of a Host and 7 Remote COM Servers) shall be able to
support up to 2048 Com ports, each Com Server supporting 256 Ports. In case
all of the 256 ports are to be used for serial communication, you need to employ
Com Port expansion cards. Each expansion card will be able to provide
expansion in increments of 32 Com Ports.
3. Each com port will be able to support hard wired direct connect or modem
connections. An additional 256 ports per Host or Com Server can be used for
modem specific ports, for up to 512 total ports.
4. Each COM port must be able to have password protection as an option.
a. The system operator will be able to enter a password for each COM port.
b. When operating in this mode, the ACS door controllers will not accept
communications from any host PC, workstation or communications server
that does not provide the correct password.
c. The system operator will be able to individually assign this password to
selected panels.
d. The COM port password will be encrypted both in the system database and
in the Access Control Panel.
F.
LAN/WAN (10/100/1000) & Fiber Optics Communications:
1. The Host PC shall support LAN (local area connection).
2. The system (consisting of a Host and 7 Remote COM Servers) shall be able to
support up to 2048 LAN ports, each Com Server supporting 256 LAN Ports.
3. Each port shall support typical Cat 5 LAN Connection or Fiber Optics LAN
connections.
4. Each LAN port shall be able to have password protection.
5. The system operator will be able to enter a password for each LAN port.
6. When operating in this mode, the ACS door controllers will not accept
communications from any host PC, workstation or communications server that
does not provide the correct password.
7. The system operator will be able to individually assign this password to selected
panels.
