Symmetry™ Edge Network Controller
EN-1DBC PoE One Door

The Symmetry Edge Network Controller is a key feature of an access control system. It provides distributed intelligence, resilience in the event of network failure, and fast response to access requests.

The Symmetry Edge Network Controller is a Power- Over-Ethernet (PoE) One Door Controller that provides distributed intelligence and fast response to access requests.

The Symmetry Edge Network Controller supports connections to a client PC via the Local or Wide Area Network. Each Symmetry Edge Network Controller controller communicates with PCs running the feature rich Symmetry Business, Professional or Enterprise security management software, v6.0.2 SP7 or later. Direct network discovery and programming using the Symmetry software provides simplified installation. The security management software is used to set up the rules of access control, monitor alarms, produce reports and administer one or more facilities.

Reader Technologies & Card Formats

The Symmetry Edge Network Controller controller supports a full range of reading technologies including Magnetic Stripe, Smart card, Proximity, Biometrics and Wiegand. A number of default card formats are programmed as standard and there is a capability for custom formats to be defined. This is particularly important when integrating existing cards with a new system.
