New Access Control Terminal: Of One Make Four

One, two or even four doors can be controlled with Gantner’s new versions of the successful “GAT Terminal 3100”. The well-proven one-controller-per-door solution with the GAT Terminal 3100 ECO with credentials for up to 2,000 persons is still possible. Without any hardware change, the terminal can now operate as DUO, controlling two doors or even as QUAD, controlling four doors, each door being individually managed. The number of persons with credentials is increased to 10,000 (DUO) or 5,000 (QUAD) per door. As the reader can be up to 200 m away from the controller, a wide range of applications can be envisioned. A further version is being introduced under the name GAT Terminal 3100 PLUS.

It offers the classic functionalities, such as writing station for offline credentials, alarm control etc., but also the following new ones: For the easy installation and putting into operation, a test mode was created, enabling the testing of the installation at the door, even before the access control software is installed.

Other functionalities, such as the update of the terminal and the connected readers via Ethernet and RS 485, are features vouching for service and maintenance friendliness. With these new product versions, Gantner is able to provide the optimum solution for the equipment of a door with a consistent ­system, irrespective of the requirements. All it takes is a simple software change to prepare the unit for new, different applications.
