Access Control
The innovative access and alarm server of the NT500(tm) delivers the only integrated TCP/IP interface in the industry. Users can manage access control decisions independently from their PC and/or other controlling devices, to monitor alarms and direct control for maximum protection. The NT500 has the capability to be connected to a host computer for system configuration as well.

ID Badges
The NT500(tm) supports industry standard ID card technologies and has cutting-edge image compression and enhancements to provide personnel with high-resolution pictures on ID badges. While supporting up to 15 PC clients and up to 75,000 cardholders, this feature is ideal for personnel who are given the authority to manage access to their own controlled areas.

Area Management
The Area Manager application is ideal for use in corporate or campus environments where higher security or greater control is required in individual parts of the building. This application allows the user to supervise access in certain areas and identifies personnel who have access to those areas as well.

A key function to the Area Manager(tm) application is the Area Airlock, which manages interlocking of doors into an area with traffic light feedback enabling the ability to proceed at any door. Also, the Area Manager(tm) limits the number of times a key holder can enter an area, which is particularly ideal for sporting events or use at social clubs.

Applications also include a sophisticated, anti-passback control with support for multiple failover scenarios and supervisor access at all times as well as elevator control.

Event To Action Manager
The Event to Action Manager, allows events within the system to be mapped to a variety of corresponding actions. Events sourced from controllers, areas, doors, cardholders and alarm points can be used as triggers to the system. Areas can be armed, disarmed, locked and opened. Doors can be locked, secured and opened. Outputs can be triggered and emails can be sent to inform users of activity.
