Kaba Master AM 524

masterunit_524The Web-based Kaba Master AM 524 includes an embedded access control application for system administration, user setup and event viewing that is accessed via any standard Web browser over a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network. The AM524 supports from one to 24 readers using supporting Door Units. The flexibility of a modular design while supporting local power to connected readers makes the AM524 easy to install. The AM524 supports all standard access control readers utilizing an RS485 and Wiegand data connection through connected Door Units. Supporting RS485 communication between modules, the AM524 provides a scalable solution by simply adding additional Door Units. Up to twelve Door Units connect to an AM524 module, with each supporting two reader connections, for a total of 24 readers. Access Managers can communicate in a cluster configuration, providing for expansion and administration of up to hundreds of readers.

Standards Support
The AM524 was developed around open standards supporting SOAP/REST Web Service communication for easy integration, XML data format and platform-independent Java application software. The integrated Web server and embedded access control application allow for easy access and setup via any Web browser. This eliminates the need for traditional PC-based servers and client-side administration software.

Easy to Use
To access the embedded access control application, simply select a network-connected AM524 under Network devices within Windows (UPnP) or type in the IP address of an AM524 directly into any Web browser, log in to the system and the application menu is displayed. The Access Manager activity tables are easily accessed via the Web interface. All activity such as access requests and system events are stored in an XML events log.
