What happens in the event communication is lost to the cardreader?
In the event a cardreader controller should lose communications with the central computer, the cardreader controller will continue to allow access to guests and employees based upon the previous access privileges. A message will be sent to the CPU to alert front desk personnel that communication has been lost for that specific reader. This condition normally occurs prior to the guest’s or employee’s knowledge of the problem. The Access-Plus system is a proactive system compared to an off-line reactive system.
