The Compass 6e access control system provides the ability to report and display events in near real time

New access control software

Compass Technologies, has released version 2.1 software for its 6e access control system. The new software has a range of new features. It now allows selective and time controlled transmission of alarm information via email and text messages to cell phones. It also offers a wide range of communication encryption options including Triple DES, AES 128 and 256, and RC 2.

Detailed audit operator logging allows system administrators to review every action taken by each system operator including any changes made to the database. A “compare” utility allows the administrator to review both the old and new data. The system presents information using graphic menus, real-time displays and dynamic interactive screens. Through the use of intuitive point and click commands, hierarchical tree views and color-coded information, operators can quickly identify critical conditions and perform required operations. Administration of cards has been simplified through the use of context-sensitive drop-down fields and pre-populated templates.
