Module description
The iSTAR eX controller is a security door controller which is connected to at least one card reader and a door. The iSTAR eX controller works from a database stored internally in memory for determining access privilege of an individual. When a card is swiped by a reader the data goes to the iSTAR eX controller. The controller then sends a notify message to the access database to determine if access is allowed. If access is granted then the iSTAR eX controller sends an open command back to the door and access is granted. If access is not granted the door remains closed and locked.
