-EntraPass Global Edition with a Corporate Gateway

-EntraPass Global Edition with a Global Gateway

-EntraPass Global Edition with a KT-NCC Network Communications Controller

Multiple Configuration Options

-EntraPass: The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller can be configured with all EntraPass Editions v4.01 and higher.

-Web Configuration Page: The Web Configuration Page is accessible through any browser. It can be used to verify

and configure the IP settings of the following Kantech devices: the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller, the KT- NCC and the Kantech IP Link. Refer to the procedure “Configuring the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller with the Web Configuration Page” on page 32 for further details.

-KT-Finder:The KT-Finder is a stand-alone application that can be used to verify and configure the IP settings of the

following Kantech devices: the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller, the KT-NCC and the Kantech IP Link. The Kantech device can be located within the same LAN or in a remote location over the internet. Refer to the procedure “Configuring the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller with the KT-Finder” on page 33 for further details.

Four Onboard doors

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is a full 4 onboard doors access controller. See Figure 1 for a description of the PCB and Figure 2 for all the connection possibilities offered by the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.

Communication Ports

•1 10/100Base-T Ethernet for network connection with the EntraPass Gateway

•1 RS-232 (COM3) for direct connection to the EntraPass Gateway and RS-485 communication with KT-100, KT-200, KT-300 and KT-400

•1 RS-485 (COM1) for RS-485 communication between the EntraPass Gateway and the KT-100, KT-200, KT-300 and KT-400

•1 SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) port for expansion modules such as the KT-MOD-REL8 (8-Relay Outputs), the KT- MOD-INP16 (16-Input) and the KT-MOD-OUT16 (16-Output)

IP Connectivity

The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller, when used with EntraPass Special Edition or a Corporate Gateway, can report events, gather its configuration through an IP connection over the LAN (Local Area Network) and over the Internet for a WAN (Wide Area Network). In this mode, the 1st or local controller becomes a “Master Controller” and can poll up to 31 Kantech controller(s). The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is compatible with all the controllers. Unlike the other controllers, the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller asynchronously polls the controllers (KT-100, KT-200, KT-

300)and communicates with the EntraPass Gateway only when necessary. This significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth required to operate your security system on the network.

•AES Encryption 128-Bit:The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is extremely secure. It uses 128-bit AES encryption to communicate with the Gateway which prevents any hacking from the internet and ensures secure communications when used over the internet on a wide area network (WAN).
