Card Readers
Card readers are available in short range (2"-6") or long range (up to 10'). The longer range models use similar technology to that found in a toll booth "Fast Track" transponders. All access cards have a unique access code. If the reading system has that card enrolled, it will grant access privileges.
Stand alone card readers have a built in memory of the cards and are controlled from the reader itself. Most of these types of readers have a keypad located outside or inside the cabinet to enter or delete cards. In general they do not record or track card usage.
Slave card readers are attached to larger systems such as telephone entry systems or door controllers. This type of system frequently connects to a computer where the card usage is tracked. In these systems the telephone entry, door controller, or the computer keeps the data base where users are added or deleted and what access privileges individual cards have.
