Smarterm
is an expandable intelligent controller capable of supporting
all access control functions for one to four doors. This
distributed processor-based panel will operate as a standalone
unit in the event server communications are interrupted.
The Smarterm is programmed via Continental Instruments (CIC)
CardAccess software program, a Windows-based access control
and security management solution. Once programmed, the controller
does not require continuous server communications, as it
automatically stores system transactions in its internal
memory. The Smarterm's memory is field expandable, allowing
for greater cardholder populations and/or a larger transaction
buffer. Continental's controllers feature extensive multi-stage
lightning/transient protection on-board for maximum reliability
even in harsh environments. The
standard Smarterm has 16 inputs, 1 tamper alarm and 9 outputs.
A locking steel enclosure, power supply and battery are
included.
The Smarterm accepts industry standard Wiegand output devices
and supports virtually all card/reader technologies. Proximity,
Biometric, Magnetic Stripe, Barcode, Wiegand, Barium Ferrite,
Keypad and Smart Readers are easily connected and controlled.
The Smarterm can store multiple card (bit) formats in its
internal memory, making it a cost-effective retrofit panel.
Supporting multiple bit formats allows existing card populations
and readers to remain in place. In addition to the rechargeable
standby battery, each Smarterm includes a lithium battery
for up to one year of data protection.
Up to (63) CIC Intelligent Controllers (Microterm, Miniterm,
Smarterm or Superterm) can be intermixed on the same communications
network. Multiple communication networks (ports) can be
connected to the CardAccess® server for maximum system
expansion. Controller communication choices include: hardwire
(repeat or multi-drop mode), LAN/WAN, dial-up or fiber optics
for maximum flexibility. Continental Instruments supports
RS232, RS422 and RS485 communication formats for optimal
system configuration.
