Access Control
Cisco® Secure Access Control System (ACS), the Cisco flagship network access control solution, ties together an enterprise’s network access policy and identity strategy. Cisco Secure ACS is the world’s most trusted enterprise access and policy platform, deployed by 80 percent of the Fortune 500 companies and almost 70 percent of Russell 1000 companies.
Cisco Secure ACS is a next-generation platform that supports the increasingly complex policies needed to meet today’s new demands for access control management and compliance. Cisco Secure ACS provides central management of access policies for device administration and wireless LAN and wired 802.1x network access scenarios.
Cisco Physical Access Gateway – The Cisco® Physical Access Gateway is an integral component of the Cisco Physical Access Control solution, and is the primary module used to connect door hardware (readers, locks, etc.) to the IP network. The gateway can connect to a maximum of two doors and associated inputs and outputs. The Cisco Physical Access Gateway is a mandatory component of any access control deployment.
The following optional modules may be connected to the Cisco Physical Access Gateway to control additional doors, inputs, and outputs.
The Cisco® Physical Access Reader – The Reader Module is an optional component of the Cisco Physical Access Control solution. The module can be connected to a Cisco Physical Access Gateway in order to expand the solution to include additional doors. The Cisco Physical Access Reader Module can connect to a maximum of two doors and associated inputs and outputs. It must be used in conjunction with the Cisco Physical Access Gateway using a CAN BUS configuration.
The Cisco® Physical Access Input Module – This Input Module is an optional module that can be connected to the Cisco Physical Access Gateway to expand the solution to include additional inputs. The Cisco Physical Access Input Module can connect up to 10 inputs, each of which can be configured as supervised or unsupervised. It must be used in conjunction with the Cisco Physical Access Gateway using a CAN BUS configuration.
The Cisco® Physical Access Output Module – This Output Module is an optional module that can be connected to the Cisco Physical Access Gateway to expand the solution to include additional outputs. The Cisco Physical Access Output Module can connect up to 8 outputs, each of which can be configured as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). It must be used in conjunction with the Cisco Physical Access Gateway using a CAN BUS configuration.
