Readers can be configured for Standalone Mode (Offline Mode) or Terminal Mode (Online Mode)
when they are connected to the external access control unit (ACU) supporting compatible data
interface formats.
When configured for standalone operation PRTxxEM reader independently (i.e. autonomously)
controls the supervised door access point. For this mode reader offers two variants of installation:
first of them uses the reader’s built-in I/O signal lines as programmable inputs and outputs, the
second one uses them for communication with external XM-2 expander and secondary (optional)
PRT series reader. An access control installation including two PRT readers (one at the entry and
other at the exit side of the supervised door) enables read-in/out door control. Also, the system
setup utilizing the XM-2 expander provides higher level of security for the entire door access
control system by separating its logical element (reader) from the relay which physically controls
door lock.
The PRTxxEM reader configured for Online Mode works as a slave unit for the purpose of reading
cards/PIN-s then providing subsequent transmission of such collected data to host ACU for further
processing. Reader offers several data transmission formats including popular Wiegand and
Magstripe data protocols.
The PRTxxEM reader can be also used to program T5555 (Q5) and T5557 type cards using RARC
software.
