Access Control System

Siemens Building Technologies has launched the latest version of its Sipass Entro Access Control System, with a number of new features to further enhance the systems flexibility and a new RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant controller. Amongst the new features are: the ability to design and print personalized photo ID cards; full compatibility with Windows Terminal Server; enhanced flexibility in configuring common alarm outputs and the addition of another language (Portuguese), bringing the total number of languages supported to thirteen. Also a powerful new RoHS compliant SR35i controller (replacing the existing SR34i) has been introduced but attention has been paid to ease of expansion with backwards compatibility right through to the MP 4.7 release of the system. The visual template design tool embodied within the new version allows personalized access cards/badges to be easily produced via standard Windows printer drivers, with the capacity to also create receipts for signature by the cardholder upon issuing of the card.
