Version 8.1 of Linear’s Hub Manager Professional PC-based access control software manages and programs all current and legacy access hardware devices. It supports multiple or standalone controllers and a wide array of door control devices over LAN/WAN, RS-485, modem, or IRDA. Maintaining Hub Manager’s quick-and-easy reputation, the new version’s enhanced video tutorials and setup wizards help to expedite the installer’s job. Hub Manager also features plug-and-play ‘auto-discovery’ of devices on the network, further simplifying and improving installation speed, while tackling the growing requirement to leverage existing networks. The new Windows 7-compatible software, downloadable from Linear’s website, is included with all Secured Series systems and kits, and with the prox.pad Plus series of products and LS2 Series of products.
