IXP20 System
Product Specification Catalogue
The ImproX IXP20 is a fully featured, stand-alone
Access Control System supporting up to 1 000
Tagholders and 5 000 transactions. Designed for
ease of use, the IXP20 System allows for the real-
time monitoring and controlling of residential, as
well as small and medium commercial and
industrial sites.
The IXP20 Controller, built on either an ImproX iTT
or iTRT Door Controller platform, allows connection
of 2 readers direct to the Controller. The System is
easily expanded to up to 8 Doors, all in Anti-
passback (APB) Mode.
The IXP20 System offers an easy upgrade path
with a simple firmware change enabling it to be
included in a larger IXP System.
Housed in an ABS Plastic cabinet, the IXP20
Controller is available in four models to best suit
your individual needs:
xModels ISC910 and ISC920 offer a cost-
effective Ethernet connection and an easy-to-
use Web Interface. These models only need an
internet browser to interact with the Controller
and offer the added ability to backup your entire
Database to PC. The Web Interface also
provides access to various Web-based Reports.
xModels ISC911 and ISC921 do not need a PC
connection. Boasting a two-and a half-inch
Graphics Touch Screen, these models allow
complete System configuration at the Controller.
A Screen Lock and Password option ensure
your settings remain secure. The Touch Screen
Interface also provides access to various
Controller-based Reports.
