1 Access Manager Hosted Access control platform & System Integration

2 Hosted Access Control Platform Managing Card based access control systems across multi-sites or large buildings can be a difficult and labour intensive process especially for clients who have a combination of manufacturer s hardware. When combined with hardware ranging from the new latest state of the art systems to older legacy panels and management software which is now obsolete; the problem becomes more complex and difficult to manage. Many customers and specifiers consider the option of aligning all of their sites to one access standard by using the same access control panel at each site to simplify the management process. The investment cost required often makes the project unviable, especially when the hardware maybe obsolete but is still fully serviceable. The Paramount ACCESS MANAGER platform was designed to overcome the problem of multiple system manufacturers and obsolete access management software offering centralised management and control utilising IP infrastructure. Designed initially to replace the Europlex software ranges such as Euronet, 3GS+ and 3GS+ global, and provide a solution for managing the legacy 3GS systems. The Paramount Access manager bespoke platform now supports multiple access system manufacturers equipment from one single platform. Supported systems: Europlex 3GS (Via Citec IP connectivity) Europlex Signet Range (220 and 300 range panels with IP connectivity (Available Oct 2011) Siemens SPC single panel control range with IP connectivity (Available Oct 2011) Honeywell/Northern computers N1000 panels equipped with IP connectivity/lantronix Honeywell Pro 22 access panels equipped with IP connectivity Honeywell Netaxs Access control panels Access manager is constantly developing. If you require compatibility with another access hardware manufacturers other than the ones specified above, please contact us. Access Manager simultaneously communicates with any combination and quantity of the listed Hardware, managing the different systems from one centralised location. Designed from the outset to reduce strain on access users both financially and operationally access manager is a hosted solution, which is continuously connected to your access/integrated panels. Clients still have control over all of your connected sites using a secure web browser utility which offers remote management.

5 System Migration ACCESS MANAGER doesn't usually require any site based hardware changing, but does provide clients the option to use multiple card reader technology, multiple cards and various card formats. A flexible operating platform providing additional benefit and widening the possibility of wider migration across multiple site estates. Existing standard card reading technology, including 125KhZ proximity, magnetic swipe cards, and the more secure Desfire technology is supported providing easy migration to any final solution. Migration readers from HID Global simplify a major challenge in any technology upgrade project: the ability to use existing cards, deploy multi-technology cards and transition to new contactless smart card technology without having to change the access control system card holder database. Customers are able to transition to contactless smart cards over time while incorporating the use of multiple card technologies within a single building or across multiple facilities. The popular card proximity and combined pin reader technology is integrated into ACCESS MANAGER and offers increased security for data centres or sterile areas.

This ensures ACCESS MANAGER offers the best advantages of hosted access control available today; with seamless management and minimal hardware changes.

6 Network Connectivity The communications IP network provided for hosted Access Control is key to providing a reliable, fast and dependable communication path to single or multiple sites. Our state of the art network uses the latest expandable high speed fibre optic leased line technology. Capable of transmitting and receiving data in both directions up to 150mg our network can update thousands of access control panels in minutes with the latest card holder data. Ensuring a robust and reliable communication path, ACCESS MANAGER supports three WAN connections with fail over and load balancing. If the worst should happen and in the event that a single network provider failed, our platform continues to operate in two other leased line connections. Utilising A symmetrical and un-contended connection means we have access to the same amount of bandwidth both in and out of our wide area networks. We don't share our connections with other wide area ISP users increasing our platform performance. The public sector network continues to underpin the Governments ICT strategy. Improving access and delivery of public services and supporting the shared services initiative. PSN is working towards Government central policies such as Digital Britain. The public sector network will connect Government departments and organisations to one central network to share new and existing services. ACCESS MANAGER has been designed with a secure communications server which can operate with custom network solutions, providing high risk sites with secure access control solutions. The sharing of Access control management across estates significantly reduces overheads to local authorities and end users. Providing significant benefits compared to access systems using conventional databases which are managed by the system user.
