Cisco Systems OL-20932-02 Manual De Usuario

Cisco Physical Access Control is a comprehensive solution of hardware and software components, 
connected through an IP network as shown in 

. 

A Cisco Physical Access Gateway is installed near each door to provide processing and control for the 
connected door hardware, such as card readers, locks, and other input and output devices. This 
architecture allows access control to be deployed incrementally, door by door, eliminating the central 
panel and simplifying system design, wiring, and planning. 

The Gateway is required, and can control up to two doors. Each Gateway supports the following:

If additional connections are required, you can connect up to 15 optional modules using a three-wire 
Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. These modules can be added or removed without affecting the 
operation of the system or other modules. See the 

 

for more descriptions of the available modules.

The modules are connected using the CAN1 interface. The CAN2 interface is not supported in this 
release.
