User's Manual

Controllers, and multiple controller formats that work together to enable all deci-

sion-making at the door. The system runs remotely with no need for hard-wiring,

providing innovative access control in any environment. Wi-Q AMS is versatile so

you can create a whole new system, retroﬁt existing hardware, and include vari-

ous CCTV alarms, general alarms, and inputs/outputs.

Basic Hardware Components

A basic Wi-Q AMS system has three components: a host computer with Wi-Q

AMS, a Portal Gateway, and a controller lock at the door. Figure 1 is a simple dia-

gram showing these three components.

The Host Computer

The software is installed at the Host computer and set up to tell the Portal Gate-

ways on the network which controllers to control and how to control them. It

contains all User ID and access management commands. The Host transfers

information to and from the Portal Gateway through a standard Ethernet (LAN/

WAN) connection.

The Portal Gateway

The Portal Gateway is a device connected to the Host computer through a secure

IP address, similar to the way your computer is connected to the internet. It trans-

fers data signals from Wireless Controllers to and from the Host computer. The

Portal Gateway recognizes all Wireless Controllers within its antenna range. One

Portal Gateway can control as many as 64 controllers in a system.
