MC510

In a world where cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, securing critical infrastructure is an absolute priority. IDtech’s 5th generation controllers provide a comprehensive, high-performance solution to meet today’s cybersecurity and access control challenges. Equipped with cutting-edge features such as automated digital certificate management, network security, and end-to-end encryption, they provide robust and reliable protection, making them an essential tool for meeting the requirements of European cybersecurity regulations such as NIS 2. The MC510, IDtech’s 5th generation master controller, is designed to connect the Unipass access management software with local controllers. It can manage up to 16 local controllers.

Highlights:

  • With its optimised memory capacity and processor, MC510 continues to operate if the server is disconnected.
  • Available in MC504, MC510 and MC516 versions, depending on the number of local access units (LAUs) and readers to be managed.
  • Specially designed to adapt to ever-changing access control needs. Updates and configuration changes are made remotely, via a secure web interface.
  • To meet growing security requirements, it enables the encryption of communications with the server (AES and TLS).
  • The Master Controller supports NAC802.1x network access protocol and incorporates the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) to simplify and automate the management of digital certificates. Using this functionality, MCs can automatically request and renew certificates from a Certification Authority (CA).
  • 100% compatible with the full range of IDtech controllers and is fully integrated into the IDtech software suite.
