Requirements
Princeton Identity provides the Access200 hardware and Identity Server software. The rest of
the infrastructure must be provided according to the following requirements:
- *Access Control Panel power: 120VAC at 15A or 20A as specified by the control panel
model. (Not required if access control panel supports PoE). - *Door strike: 12VDC or 24VDC as specified by lock/strike manufacturer, NFPA 70, and local requirements.
- *Access Control Panel network: The Access Control Panel connects to the network switch
with Cat5e Ethernet. - *Wiegand 3-wire communication cables, 20 AWG (this is typically 22/6 shielded when
existing wiring is present) or OSDP 2-wire RS-485 communication cables (previously
terminated at card reader). When existing wiring is present, it needs to be terminated at
the gang box, rather than the location of the existing card reader. Note: wires for Wiegand may be reused for OSDP. However, standard Wiegand cable may not meet RS-485 twisted pair recommendations. The reuse of cable works best on shorter cable lengths at lower data rates. - *Virtual infrastructure: VMware or Hyper-V are typically used to run the access control software in a virtual machine (VM). A separate VM will need to be imported for the PI Identity Server (IDS) software. Please see requirements and deployment options. For synchronization purposes, the Identity Server VM should have connectivity to the access control software. There is another option of a Windows installer as well, linked here.
* = Typically already in place with existing card readers and physical access control system
