System Overview | en

System Overview
The Access Professional Edition System (hereunder referred to
as Access PE) provides a self-contained access control for small
and medium sized companies. It consists of several modules:
–

LAC Service: a process which is in constant communication
with the LACs (Local Access Controllers – hereafter
referred to as Controllers). AMCs (Access Modular
Controllers) are used as Controllers.

–

Configurator

–

Personnel Management

–

Logviewer

–

Alarm Management

–

Video Verification

The modules can be divided into server and client modules.
The LAC service needs to remain in constant contact with the
controllers because firstly it constantly receives messages from
them regarding movements, presence and absence of
cardholders, secondly because it transmits data modifications,
e.g. assignment of new cards, to the controllers, but mainly
because it carries out meta-level checks (access sequence
checks, anti-passback checks, random screening).
The Configurator should also run on the server; however it can
be installed on client workstations and operated from there.
The modules Personnel Management and Logviewer belong to
the Client component and can be run on the Server in addition,
or on a different PC with a network connection to the server.
The following Controllers can be used.
–

AMC2 4W (with four Wiegand reader interfaces) - can be
extended with an AMC2 4W-EXT

–

AMC2 4R4 (with four RS485 reader interfaces)

Single-Board Computer
It is possible to run the Access Professional Edition (APE) on a
Single-Board Bomputer (SBC).
Basically the capacity of an SBC as e.g. the Intel Compute Stick
STK1AW32SC or other low-end hardware may not correspond
with the system prerequisites of the Access Professional
Edition (see chapter 1.4).
Notice!
An SBC can only be used if LAN or WIFI and the connected
hardware are permanently available.
An SBC should be configured only with a reduced feature set as
specified with the Base License (up to 16 readers).
Due to the low hardware performance a wireless connected
SBC should not be used with the Alarm Management and
Video Management, as the network stability is critical with
these features.

The APE was tested on the following device which can be used
as a reference for minimum system prerequisites for operating a

2.1

Introduction

General | en

Access PE is an Access Control System which has been
designed to offer the highest standards of security and flexibility
to small and medium sized installations.
Access PE owes its stability and upgradeability to a 3-layer
design: The first layer is the administration level with its
controlling services. All administrative tasks are carried out
here, e.g. the registration of new cards and the assignment of
access rights.
The second layer is formed by the Local Access Controllers
(LACs) which govern each group of doors or entrances. Even
when the system is offline a LAC is able independently to make
access b control decisions. LACs are responsible for controlling
the entrances, governing door opening times or requesting PINcodes at critical access points.
The third layer consists of card readers.
The communication between client, server, and cardholders is
AES encrypted.
Access PE multi-user version allows multiple workstations to
control the system. Customizable user rights levels regulate
access and guarantee security. In this way it is possible, for
example, to maintain card data from one workstation whilst
using another to verify whether an employee is present in the
building.
Access PE offers exceptionally flexible configuration of access
rights, time models and entrance parameters. The following list
gives an overview of the most important features:

Bosch Access Systems GmbH

2017-03 | APE | Installation Manual

Access Professional
Edition

en | General

Quick & Easy card Assignment
Cards (up to three) can be assigned to persons either manually
or using a dialog reader connected to a PC via a serial
connection. All assigned cards are active. When upgrading cards
the old card is automatically overwritten and becomes invalid,
thus preventing old cards from gaining access even if those
responsible forgot or were unable to cancel them.
Access Rights (including Group Privileges)
Each person can inherit group privileges as well as having
individual rights assigned to him. Privileges can be restricted by
area and time to an accuracy of one minute. Group privileges
can be used to grant and limit access rights for any or all
cardholders simultaneously. Group privileges can be made
dependent on time models which restrict their access to certain
times of day.
Access tracking
By defining Areas it is possible to track and enforce a correct
sequence of accesses. Even without monitoring, this
configuration makes it possible to display a cardholder's
location.
Anti-Passback
When a card has been read it can be blocked for a defined
period from entering at the same access point. Hence it is
possible to prevent "passback", where a user hands his card
back across a barrier to provide access for an unauthorized
person.
Automatic Cancelation of cards upon Expiration
Visitors and temporary staff frequently require access for a
limited period only.
cards can be registered for a specific time period, so that they
automatically lose their validity when that period expires.

2017-03 | APE | Installation Manual

Bosch Access Systems GmbH

Access Professional
Edition

General | en

Time Models and Day Models
A cardholder can be assigned to specific time models which
regulate the hours in which that person has access. Time
models can be defined flexibly using day models which
determine how specific weekdays, weekends, holidays and
special days deviate from normal working days.
Identification via PIN-Code
Instead of a card a person can use a special PIN-Code to enter.
Verification via PIN-Code
Particularly sensitive areas can be programmed to require
additional PIN-Codes. This protection can in turn be made
dependent on time models, so that, for instance, a PIN-Code is
only required for access during holiday times or outside of
defined working hours.
Flexible Door Management
Flexible parameterization of individual door models allows an
optimum balance between security and comfort. The "shunt" or
alarm suppression period can be individually specified to
regulate for how long a door may remain open. In cooperation
with an alarm system the access point can then optionally be
locked.
Periodic Door Release
In order to facilitate access, door alarms can be shunted to
release doors for specific periods. Door release periods can be
defined manually or automatically via a time model.
Time and Attendance
Access points can be parameterized to record ingress and
egress for time & attendance purposes.
Card Design
The graphical add-in module Card Personalization (CP) is fully
integrated into the Access Control system to allow the operator
to create cards without switching applications.

Assignment of Photos
If the add-in module Card Personalization (CP) is not activated
photographic identification can nevertheless be imported and
associated with cardholders.
Offline locking system
Areas which are not covered, for whatever reason, by the highavailability online access control system can nevertheless be
locked offline.
Administration of video devices
Entrances can be equipped additionally with cameras to identify
and track the movements of persons using them.

access rights.
The standard protection settings under Windows 10 x64

Windows 7 have changed vis-à-vis previous versions such that
Client applications can not access the folder C:\BOSCH\Access

when that folder is shared. This issue exists for changed
installation paths, too. Windows users who are logged into the

Language settings
Ideally only those languages are used in Access PE which are
compatible with the language of the operating system, e.g.
under a German operating system only Western European
languages.
If it should prove necessary to install languages in Access PE
which do not correspond to the operating system, e.g. Chinese
under a German operating system, then the following settings
need to be made. We demonstrate the individual steps here
using the example of Chinese.
Invoke the Regional and Language Options dialog under:
Start > Settings > Control Panel
Install additional languages
Open the Languages tab, and select in the Supplemental
language support field the language group to which the desired
language belongs.

In the case of Chinese the appropriate option is Install files for
