A brief history of Access Control Network Topology
Individual Door Controllers Proprietary Network/Communications Loop Single Stage Design Access Relay on Non-Secure Side Single Card & Reader Technologies Only Three Access Control Companies

AdvancementsThe 2cd Generation
Two Stage Design Reader Separated Access Relay behind Secure Side Various Card & Reader Technologies Options Emerge in Topology
ProprietaryHost
Two Stage Readers
ProprietaryCommunications
Single Stage Readers – The wiring for lock and door contactis routed to the reader and possibly exposed to attack.
2 Stage Readers – The wiring for each device isrouted back to the controller toreduce risk of accidental exposure
What is Distributive Intelligence?The 3rd Generation
What if the computer goes down? Off Line Storage of Event Data Off Line Continuation of Access Decisions Centralized Decision and Reporting Non-host based Linking between hardware Resilience of single door failure

Why is understanding “evolution” important?
Staged roll outs of systems Budget constraints for replacements Wide spread use of specific feature sets Continuity of maintenance Long term use of the systems (average 8 years)
Consistency of operations-Daily use Usually cannot replace entire system (locks,
readers, control devices
