AC5100
Advanced central controller
The AC5100 advanced central controller can be programmed with up
to 500‚000 cardholders and up to 96 doors. It has been specially
designed for maximum flexibility‚ and provides six separate field level
network (FLN) channels. Each FLN is capable of hosting up to 16 local
devices for access control‚ monitoring input devices or controlling out-
put devices.
The AC5100 also has a diagnostic port that provides a direct connection
to its microprocessor to facilitate the download of operating instruc-
tions (firmware). Firmware updates can be made without having to vis-
it the controller cabinets. Communication to the host system occurs via
a 10/100Mb Ethernet connection. This allows communications over
any WAN or LAN where devices on the network can be assigned a
unique IP address. This type of communication ensures the fastest pos-
sible transaction times between the host system and AC5100 field pan-
els.
The AC5100 hosts a tamper input that can be used to detect if the cab-
inet in which it has been mounted has been opened. It also provides an
alarm output that can operate a visual or audio alarm when security has
been breached.
