Installing the NetAXS-123 Panels

Introduction

1.0 Introduction
This document describes how to install the NetAXS-123 Standard Enclosure access control unit and
the NetAXS-123 Compact Enclosure access control unit.

1.1 Access Control Overview

An access control system protects and preserves an enterprise's resources by providing authentication,
authorization, and administration services. Authentication is a process that verifies a user's identity. If
the user is verified, the system then either grants or denies access to specific areas and resources.
Administration includes the creation and modification of user accounts and access privileges.
An access control system consists of hardware and software, usually configured in a network
environment over a standard network protocol. Access control units, readers, door strikes, and video
and other devices, for example, are configured to control and monitor the access to a company site.

1.2 NetAXS-123 Overview

A NetAXS-123 access control is a full-featured one-door web-based access control system that
supports up to three doors when supplemented with an add-on input/output board. The NetAXS-123
panel includes a built-in web server, built-in Ethernet and USB support, and Power over Ethernet
(PoE) capability. You can manage the access control system using either a web browser or WIN-PAK.
For supported configurations, see
supported NetAXS-123 system configurations.
