Stand Alone Systems –All in one Host Based Systems –Distributed Intelligence Architecture Transactions are processed locally Reader (s) and Door (s) Connections Alarm and Output Connections –Master Controller Architecture Communicates to “sub” controllers Sub Controllers –Reader Connection (s) –Door Connection (s) –Alarm and Output Connections Background: Current Security System Architectures

Background: Distributed Intelligence System Architecture

Background: Typical Master Controller Architecture

Distributed Intelligence Architecture Typical Security Architecture Partial Failure

Background: Typical Master Controller Total Failure

Summary Current Systems have a vulnerability –Partial or Total Depending on the Architecture Controller Failure –Everything within the controls are affected Distributed Intelligence has the least impact Master Controller Architecture has Total Failure Communication is a point of Vulnerability

Virtual Point Architecture with Fault Tolerance Capabilities

Fault Tolerance Architecture Is a means of System Recovery utilizing “Automated System Reconfiguration” provided through Dynamic Network Architecture (DNA) with little or no impact on system security or operations upon a failure within any of the components of the system.

Fault Tolerant Architecture Eliminates “Single Point of Failure” Ability to Automatically “Recover” upon failure due to: –Primary or Secondary Communication Failure –Hardware Failure of a FTC (s) –Firmware Failure Real-time Dynamic Network Architecture –Automatically “takes” over the duties of a failed FTC Provide 100% Distributed Intelligence –Real-time decisions are made by the FTC Hydra Protocol –FTC Network Administrator –Peer to Peer –Database Management Eliminates System Failure!!! Eliminates “Emergency Calls”

FT Architecture Components Host System (LiNC-NXG, Plus, XS, EBI*) Fault Tolerant Controller (FTC) –Supports DIM (Door Interface Modules) –100% Distributed Intelligence –Global I/O –Global Entry-Exit Door Interface Modules –DDM – 2 Reader Controller –SDM – 1 Reader Controller
