The Cisco Physical Access Gateway

A Cisco Physical Access Gateway is installed near each door to provide processing and control for the connected door hardware, such as card readers, locks, and other input and output devices. This architecture allows access control to be deployed incrementally, door by door, eliminating the central panel and simplifying system design, wiring, and planning.

The Gateway is required, and can control up to two doors. Each Gateway supports the following:

Table 1-1	Cisco Physical Access Gateway Features and Benefits

Feature		Benefit

250,000 cardholder cache and a 150,000		Door continues to function in case network
Transaction buffer		connectivity is lost

Web server built in		Simplifies configuration and monitoring

All communication is128 Bit AES encrypted		Protects credentials, preserves security

Device pre-provisioning using network services		Simplifies deployment

Plug & Play support		Modules can be added or deleted without
		disrupting service

If additional connections are required, you can connect up to 15 optional modules using a three-wire Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. These modules can be added or removed without affecting the operation of the system or other modules. See the “Optional Expansion Modules” section on page 1-5for more descriptions of the available modules.

Note The modules are connected using the CAN1 interface. The CAN2 interface is not supported in this release.
