1. General The specifics described herein shall be defined and named the AxTraxNG. The equipment and software in use must be identical or equal in quality and performance to the equipment described herein in order to establish standardized equipment criteria. All materials and/or equipment necessary for the proper operation of the system, whether specifically specified herein or derived from it without direct specification, shall be deemed an integrated element of the specifications written herein. Manufacturer s service and support prerequisites detailed herein shall be included as a requirement of the overall specification. 4

2. System Description The following section provides an overview of the overall system description. The AxTraxNG Access Control System is a complete Server-Client software management system for use with the AC-215, AC-225, AC-425, and AC-525 Access control panels. AxTraxNG shall be based on a standard Client-Server architecture: The server connects to the database; the clients draw the information from the server Clients connect to the server using a LAN remote communication The server runs as a Windows service by default The server operates using an SQL server 2005/2008 database. The client software is based on dynamic docking technology The AxTraxNG Access Control System is a user-friendly, intuitive, and rich in functionality. Using AxTraxNG, you can configure door functionalities based on areas and time frame for different types of personnel and for varying alarm situations. The AxTraxNG Access Control System can integrate with ViTrax, a Video Surveillance software application. The main purpose of the integration is to enable video recording based on access control events and convenient playback. In addition, the system can integrate with connected HomeLogiX intrusion panels to allow you to manage the intrusion panel (when available). In addition, the integration creates logical event links between the software and the access control system. Badges can be designed for mass printing and connectivity with digital cameras for image capture support. 5
