MC504

IDtech’s Master Controller MC504, part of the 5th generation series, is an intelligent door controller that connects Unipass access management software with local controllers. With optimised memory capacity and a high-performance processor, this stand-alone controller continues to operate even when the server is disconnected. It supports remote configuration via a secure web interface and meets growing security requirements with AES and TLS encryption. It also supports NAC802.1x and incorporates SCEP for automated digital certificate management. The controller is available in three different versions, depending on the number of local access units (LAUs) and readers to be managed. It is 100% compatible with the full range of IDtech controllers while being fully integrated into the IDtech software suite.
