3. TagMaster’s Access Applications
WiseMan
Stand-alone system
ID-tag database in reader
Reader makes decisions and controls the gate
WatchMan
Reader connected to external system via RS232/RS485 (ConfiTalk polling protocol)
ID-tag database in external system
External system makes decisions and tells the reader when to open the gate
PassMan
Reader connected to existing access control system via Wiegand/Mag-stripe interface
ID-tag database in access control system
Access control system makes decisions and opens the gate

The reader can always be controlled via TagMaster’s TAGP protocol over TCP/IP. This does not require WiseMan, WatchMan or PassMan
Using TagMaster’s Software Development Kit (SDK) it is possible to develop your own reader-hosted application.

5. Why use TagMaster’s Applications?
These software applications have been developed by TagMaster over the years to fit various well known types of installations.
They are backwards compatible with previous generation readers from TagMaster (GEN3).
The software applications are in fact created using TagMaster’s SDK. There are no limiting factors for an integrator to do such an implementation. However, the convenience of having years of knowledge already put into an application is obviously significant.
GEN4 SDK – Running in a Linux Virtual Machine
