IP Intelligence at the Door with Integrated multiCLASS™ Reader for Host Systems
The HID EdgeReader ERP40 IP Access Solution puts control and host interface at the door -- right inside the HID multi-technology contactless smart card reader. The HID EdgeReader ERP40 is a unique multiCLASS reader with an IP-enabled intelligent access control processor and host interface solution in a single unit. With the same footprint as traditional reader solutions, the EdgeReader ERP40 provides a complete and full-featured access control hardware/software infrastructure and contactless smart card read/write capability at "the edge" of the network for OEM software host systems. A perfect solution for new building installations, the EdgeReader ERP40 requires less wiring, and controls every control function at the door.
The EdgeReader ERP40 is cost-effective and ideally suited for today's IT-centric security environment, addressing the requirements for an IP-based solution incorporating PoE capability that takes advantage of existing CAT-5 cable infrastructure.
The EdgeReader ERP40 can be fully integrated into any host system utilizing an IP network. As with all Edge IP Access Solutions, the ERP40 incorporates the HID OPIN Technology and TCP/IP API with an available Windows® DLL tool. And includes an RS-232 serial port for optional back-up via modem.
