The individuals who are authorized to access the secured area have their User ID listed
in a so-called "authorized user List" (in contrast with a banned card list).
The MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal and the Controller are communicating using one
of the available protocol (TCP/IP, Wiegand, Dataclock, or RS485). The typical process is
described below:
 After access request, and local checks, the MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal sends
the User ID, and the result of local checks, to the Controller
 The Controller performs additional checks, and sends its decision to the
MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal (which displays GREEN light if access is granted or
RED light if denied), and to the electric latch of the door (though a door controller)
if access is granted to the user
 The MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal sends an alarm signal to the Controller as soon
as a malicious operation is detected (terminal pulled out from the wall or opened);
please refer to the paragraph dealing with anti-pulling and anti-tamper switches for
more explanations.
The Controller is part of the global Access Control System of the secured area, which
can provide useful features such as manage:
 authorized user lists (i.e. for VIP),
 banned card lists (i.e. for lost user cards),
 an access request log (who and when, access granted or denied,..),
 an event log (i.e. tamper detection, access control for evacuation of the
building,...).
The MorphoAccess® terminal is able to work alone, without Controller, but the
protection level of the secured area is lower.
An Alarm (3rd party product)
This element is connected to the MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal through a dry
contact.
The MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal sends the command to activate the Alarm as soon
as a malicious operation (terminal pulled out from the wall or having its bottom cover
opened out of maintenance operations) is detected; please refer to the paragraph
dealing with anti-pulling and anti-tamper switches for more explanations.
A Electric door strike or equivalent (3rd party product)
The activation of this element, open the door or the gate, to provide the physical access
to the protected area. The Controller is the one which sends the command to activate
the strike if access is granted (i.e. if the individual's User ID is listed in the Controller
authorized user List). Connection between these two elements is done through a dry
contact.
