Network on Card completely integrates off-line door terminals into the INTUS on-line access control system.

Mechatronical off-line door terminals are increasingly used to supplement on-line access control systems. In the past, these door terminals were not networked and had to be programmed on site using special cards – a laborious, time-intensive and costly process if 100 doors were involved. Network on Card now completely integrates off-line door terminals into the INTUS on-line access control system.

Mechatronical door terminals can now be deployed as an integral component of an on‑line access control solution which receives data from a higher-level system such as SAP. With Network on Card, personnel data stored in SAP HCM (HR) is sent to DEXICON via a certified interface to supplement the access authorizations. DEXICON forwards all the data to an authorization terminal which then writes it to the respective access card.

Using only a single access card, the user is able to open all the approved doors – those equipped with an on-line access reader just as those secured by a mechatronical door terminal. The need to program door terminals on site is eliminated. This saves time and allows more flexible access solutions which can be easily stored on the access card and may vary for each day.

Automatic access authorization process.
Network on Card automatically updates the access authorization with each booking at an authorization terminal. If an employee uses his or her access card to open a door at an authorization terminal in the morning, the authorizations for the mechatronical door terminals are simultaneously written to the access card. For security reasons it is advisable to restrict the authorization to a single day. This prevents abuse of the card to gain unauthorized access if the card is lost. All the authorizations issued are logged in DEXICON to increase the general transparency of all the access authorizations granted.

For visitors or third-party employees, the authorization can be restricted to specific doors and specific hours. This makes sure that for these persons access is only allowed through specific doors or to specific floors (from an elevator) at specific times.
