Multiple Switch Monitor (MSM). The MSM is a four-contact switch box that is connected to a WSE ACU and the MSM provides four contact-closure inputs.

Points. A point is any basic element of an access control system, such as a door switch, an alarm contact, an output switch. Point IDs uniquely identify all system elements.

Request-to-Exit (REX) Sensor. Used when both entry and exit control is required. REX points, usually push-button devices, motion detectors, or push-bars, tell the computer that someone inside a building wants to exit. The computer needs to know this to unlock the door, or to disregard the door opening as being an alarm event.

Outputs

Audible Alarms. The computer can trigger bells, buzzers and other types of audible alarms.

Remote Alarms. The computer can dial police and / or fire departments, or any other agency, as part of an alarm response plan.

System Software

The system software links all input and output elements. The software collects and reports data from input devices, and controls the output devices based on this information. The software also detects and reports any hardware problems that may occur.

Complete Portability. A specific computer type is not required, although Hewlett-Packard computers are preferred because of performance and worldwide service. Application programs run under an SCO / UNIX operating system.

Installation Flexibility. The SE 6000 can control many hardware setups, including remote site networks. The system can be programmed to control data flow between central and remote computers to create a large-size security system controlled from a central point.

Integrated Software Support. The SE 6000 communicates with a variety of access control and alarm monitoring devices. Currently, the system interfaces with WSE ACUs and their peripheral devices, alarm multiplexers produced by Stellar Systems and Optomux, magnetic stripe readers, CCTV camera switchers made by Burle, Pacom, American Dynamics, and Vicon, Radionics alarm panels, and Recognition Systems hand geometry readers. In addition, the system supports communication with the WSE 8xx-series ACUs over dial-up telephone lines using a remote dial- up interface (RDI) device. The ID-4000 badging system includes options for badge designs on film or on PVC.

Open System Design. There are few restrictions on the number of security keys, key readers, or other system elements used with the SE 6000. Increasing system capacity only involves upgrading the computer power by adding more memory or disk space, or installing a faster processor. This means that, as a company grows, it cannot outgrow the SE 6000.
