March 24, 2010 - IEI Technology introduced ACT-408A access control terminal with an 8" touch screen and EM/Mifare RFID reader. The system includes a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor for ultra low voltage, fanless operation. Attention grabbing multimedia information can be delivered via the Ethernet connection on the ACT-408A. The ACT-408A system provides entrance management by controlling door access via an external slave reader using the standard Wiegand 26 protocol especially designed for controlling access points like entrances and exits.
The ACT-408A system can be placed at an entrance to scan an identification card via the RFID reader, while a Wiegand slave reader connected to the system is used inside for exit control. Dual identification ensures a higher level of security. The Wiegand card reader provides high quality, stable performance in conditions of rain or snow, extreme temperatures, radio frequency or magnetic field interference. The Wiegand interface connector on the ACT-408A supports remote placement of the reader up to 100 meters away. The ACT-408A can be deployed for elevator security management to control in-elevator readers to restrict access from the ground floor to other floors.
The ACT-408A can also be used for access control in hospitals, office and apartment buildings. The ACT-408A includes IEI's One Key Recovery software to easily create a full system backup or recover from system failure by restoring from a backup image. With the RFID reader and the Wiegand interface, the ACT-408A is ideal for all access control and security management applications.
