Support for Multiple Cisco Physical Access Gateways

A Cisco Physical Access Gateway is installed for each door, and connected to the IP network using an Ethernet connection, as shown in Figure 1-2. This network connection provides communication with the Cisco Physical Access Manager for advanced configuration, and management with the other Gateways in the system. If the network connection is lost, the Gateway continues to provide access control functionality for the connected door devices.
