Honeywell reports an upgrade to its NetAXS-123 web-based modular access control system. An Ethernet virtual loop (EVL) uses a single IP address to talk to multiple control panels,. This lets installers use their customers’ local area networks (LAN) with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), and eliminates the requirement to run a dedicated wire loop to each control panel providing added cost benefits to the end user.
Daniel Wan, UK Channel Marketing Director, said: “Running wire takes time and money, so being able to use an existing LAN greatly reduces time and costs for both the installer and the end-user.”
NetAXS-123 control panels eliminate the need for multiple cables to be installed and run from a distant location. The new control panels allow cables to be installed just a few feet from the control panel for the lock, reader, egress and door contact. This results in lower installation costs and faster install times, according to the multi-national.
With multiple enclosure options available, businesses are able to select features and capabilities. NetAXS-123 also offers it’s claimed scalability to expand the system one door at a time allowing businesses to upgrade their access system and add features as and when required.
Through EVL and the LAN, there is no longer a need to configure each NetAXS-123 control panel individually. Instead the control panels are automatically discovered and linked together. Updates can be issued automatically to the entire system, such as access card additions and rule changes. Visit: www.security.honeywell.com/uk.
