Telecom
Distributed communication nodes
Typical controller-based ACS | Seenaptec Access Platform |
|---|---|
Each node contains a local controller with its own autonomous configuration and memory. | A remote site is represented in the platform as an access object linked to devices via IP–RS-485 and OSDP. |
Diagnostics analyze the state of a specific controller and its configuration. | The platform displays the state of the service, line, primary and backup loops, device, and secure channel. |
Changing a policy requires synchronization with the local controller. | Rules and passes are stored centrally and applied to objects or their tags. |
Different sites are maintained as a set of local configurations. | Objects are grouped by tags based on region, purpose, owner, or infrastructure type. |
Outdoor and telecommunications cabinets
Typical controller-based ACS | Seenaptec Access Platform |
|---|---|
The cabinet is described as an access point with a set of controller inputs and outputs. | The cabinet is a separate object type with built-in reader, lock, door sensor, and handle sensor slots. |
The event records opening or violation of the input state. | The system maintains a cabinet session and shows who opened the cabinet and whether the session remains active. |
Replacing lock equipment requires checking the controller settings. | When replacing a device, the object, access rights, and history are preserved; only component binding changes. |
Separate hardware configurations are created for different cabinet models. | Typical devices and cabinets are entered using setting templates and binding templates. |
Contractor access
Typical controller-based access control system | Seenaptec Access Platform |
|---|---|
Temporary access is assigned to a list of points or an access mode. | A contractor is assigned a pass to facilities, a site tag, or a service route. |
Restrictions are set by schedule and special mode rules. | The pass simultaneously sets the validity period, time, route, and number of allowed passages. |
Confirmation of access to work requires additional parameters or an external process. | The facility can prohibit access if a required condition is missing: admission, briefing, or permission. |
Presence is determined by entry and exit reports. | Presence in the perimeter and active sessions are displayed as the current system state. |
Remote equipment maintenance
Typical Controller-Based Access Control System | Seenaptec Access Platform |
|---|---|
The first access points of the required controllers are selected for updating; the controllers are processed sequentially. | Devices are selected directly; firmware is selected by manufacturer and model from the catalog. |
The controller configuration and onboard memory must be analyzed before maintenance. | The technical status of the device and line is available without reading the controller's onboard configuration. |
Diagnostics are based on the technical parameters of the specific controller. | Commissioning (LIVE) mode displays identifiers, keys, inputs, outputs, Secure Channel, and update progress in real time. |
A line failure and a controller failure are treated as failures of a specific hardware component. | Primary and backup paths are configured for the OSDP line; failover occurs if the converter, channel, or line service fails. |
