Introduction

DESIGNING AN
ACCESS CONTROL
SYSTEM

Introduction
Electronic Physical Access Control provides 24/7
security. This can be to protect people, valuables or
information. Designing the ideal access control
system involves lots of important choices.
Here are some the main considerations:
Identification method
Reader Technology & Credentials (Crystal, iCLASS,
MIFARE etc.)
Online or Stand Alone / Compact
Communication Method
Which doors will be controlled?
Selecting a computer system
Integration with other systems (Fire, Membership
Software etc.)

Identification
There are three principle methods of electronic
identification:
Secret Knowledge (Access Code or PIN)
Token (Card, Key fob)
Biometric (Fingerprint, Iris Pattern and others)
Each method has its pros and cons. These can be
used individually (“Single Factor Identification”) or in
pairs to get “Two Factor Identification”. Using a Card
and Code, for instance, would be two factor
identification and improves security by cancelling
some of the cons of each factor.

Photo ID
With online access control software it is possible to
manage the printing of PVC cards, personalised with
company name, employee details/photo etc.

www.progeny.co.uk

Stand Alone / Compact
All programming is done locally for each door via a
keypad provided with the controller. There is no need
for computers of any kind. Ideally suited for small
numbers of doors and users. Compact access
controllers have the reader (usually a keyboard) and
controller built into the same unit. These systems offer
the lowest cost.
See the Compact, P1 & C2 pages for more detail.

Online
With an online networked solution, you can control an
unlimited number of doors and sites from a single
server.
The software allows simple programming and
monitoring of the system. If the connection is lost or
the PC switched off the controllers carry on as
normal. See the P2 & P3 pages for more detail.

Choosing Communication Method
IP addressable Ethernet can make use of an existing
LAN or one can be created for very little cost. The
main advantages are hardwired infrastructure,
freedom of choice for locating server and workstation
PC’s. Also the best choice if you are using any server
based features such as Roll Call or Anti-Pass back.
USB and Serial methods are more suited to small
systems with single PC.
GPRS ideal for those locations were you have power
but it is difficult to get data cable to the controllers.

Introduction

Emergency Egress

Selecting a PC

Care needs to be taken, when an access control door
forms part of an emergency egress route. Commonly
used methods with fail open locking devices include:

Selecting the correct PC for an access control system
is very important and can be a challenge. The following guidance notes are designed to help you through
the selection process.





Fire Relay (Part of the fire alarm system)
Green Call Point
Fire Space Zone (Server based feature only to
be used in conjunction with one of the first two)

Cables
It is important to use the correct cables:






RS 485 Network : Screened twisted pair
(Belden 8132)
Reader : Screened 8 Core
Keyboards : Screened 8 Core
Lock : Rated > Lock Current
RQE : Screened 8 Core

Reporting
Event reporting is one of the main benefits of having
an “Online System”. All events: (Card Transactions,
Releasing, Opening, Closing, failed access, etc) are
time stamped and recorded. This information can then
be filtered and presented in many ways to get at the
management / monitoring information you need. Reports can be exported to TSV, XLS or CSV format.
Reports include History, Attendance, “Roll Call” &
“Time Sheet”.

Some of the considerations are as follows:
Single PC or Client / Server PC configuration
Dedicated or shared use of the Server PC and / or
Workstation PC
Availability of the server & client PC i.e. 24/7 or only
during working hours etc.
System features being used
Dedicated: refers to a PC that is used entirely for the
access control system. The only other applications
loaded are those needed to maintain the PC.
(Antivirus, backup software etc.). You will need a dedicated server if using any of the server based features
such as “Roll Call” or “Zoned APB”.
Shared: refers to a PC that is used for access control,
but also for one or more applications such as Accounts, Contact management Building Management,
DVR, etc. This is generally ok for workstations that
are not required for mission critical tasks such as
“Alarm Handling” and “Roll Call Printing”.

Operating System for the PC / Server

Cashless Vending, T&A, “Follow Me” Printing)
Controller Hardware (Wired connections between systems e.g. Fire Alarm, CCTV)
Software (Data sharing / exchange between
systems e.g. T&A, Biometric, Membership
Management, E-Booking systems)

COMPACT
KEYBOARD
CONTROLLERS
Simple and cost effective systems which can be used
in various environments and are ideal for low security
applications. The keyboards have the access control
mechanism built in. To complete the system a low
voltage power supply unit (12V DC), a locking device
(Mag-lock or Electric Strike) and an egress device are
all that is required.

Installation
Any competent installation engineer will be able to
install this equipment without any special training.
Simply connect the power supply unit, locking device
and egress device and you are then ready to program
the control unit.

The DF (door forced) alarm is generated when the
door has been opened without a valid code or egress
activation. In order to do this door sensors must be
connected.

2059 Classic
This unit offers the lowest cost of the
compact range. The keyboard is fully
potted and weather proof with a
membrane keyboard and key press
‘beep’.
This particular design features a call
button for visitors and includes a

Designed for outdoor
environments, this controller is
vandal resistant and weatherproof.
The satin chromed solid zinc keys
and housing are also backlit.

Simple to Use
Each channel can be operated with up to 50 codes.
The two channels can be combined to give a total of
100 access codes for a single door. The codes can be
4, 5 or 6 digits in length, to operate one of the
channels simply enter the access code for that
channel. A correct code entry will change the LED to
green and the output relay will activate.

2067 Spy Proof
Traditional ‘Spy Proof’ keyboard allows covert entry of
an access code. The design provides a top quality
product along with architecturally pleasing aesthetics.
High gloss chrome finish. Internal use only.

Alternatively the second channel may be used as a
secure switch, not just keypad access control. Both
channels have door monitoring to for PDO (prolonged
door open) alarm.

SIMPLY P2
SIMPLE TO SPECIFY
Connectivity is simplified to just two options:
USB and IP Addressable (Ethernet). The P2
network then uses a single twisted pair to daisy
chain controllers up to 1000 metres away. One
controller per door with the option of card in/
card out makes listing the equipment needed
child’s play. Same cost credentials mean card
or fob decisions can be made later.

SIMPLE TO INSTALL
Any competent installation engineer will be able
to install this equipment without any special
training. The wiring has been greatly simplified
reducing the number of both cores and cables.
The 3800 Progeny Crystal reader also mounts
on a standard UK single gang back box, making
first fix possible. Cabling costs can be reduced
by wiring the egress button or switch along with
the door contacts in to the back of the reader
saving running multiple cables to the door controller.

SIMPLE TO USE
The software has been carefully designed to be
easy to use. A setup wizard will help you scan
for any connected door controllers and then
take you through registering the credentials.
The credentials can be entered manually or
simply presented to a reader. The wizard will
then do all the rest of the work to get the credentials working. Standard Windows interface
techniques have been used so that users will be
able to start using the software with very little
guidance.

APPLICATIONS:
 Systems of up to 16 doors
 2000 users in size
 Small Schools
 Nursery Care
 Small Offices
 Retails shops

Car Park Monitoring
Zoned roll call can also be used to monitor shared car
park usage. A simple roll call report can be set up for
each group of users and the display will show total
quantity and who is using the car park.

Photo ID

INTEGRATION
An equally important feature of any contemporary
access control system is its ability to integrate with
other systems. The Progeny range of access control
systems integrate at 3 defined levels:

The software also includes an ID badge designer.
Photos can be easily captured and saved for each
card holder and printed using a suitable card printer
from within Doors Enterprise.

Time Sheet
The time sheet report will collect all the in and out
transactions for each user. These are tabulated with
totals for each in and out and totals for each user at
the bottom.

Credential Level
Credential level of integration a card or
fob is used for access control plus one
or more other systems.

Hardware Level
Integrate with Fire, Intruder, Lifts,
CCTV, Turnstiles, telephone/video
entry; the list goes on.

Software Level

Time Zones
Having granted access to a card holder with an
access level, time zones allow you to control when
they have access. This control is further extended by
linking to calendars.

Automated Data Import allows very useful yet simple
integration with third party applications such as
“Membership Management” or “Booking Systems”.
Time and Attendance software is a prime example of
software level integration with an Access Control
System where the SQL server database is shared.

Calendars
Calendars allow exception dates to be planned in,
bank holidays etc.

Interlock
System

INTERLOCK
SYSTEMS
HIGH SECURITY
Also known as Air Lock & Tiger Traps, Interlock
systems control the locking of two or more
doors, such that if one door is open or unlocked,
the remaining doors refuse access.

ADAPTABLE
Doors can be normally locked (normal action) or
unlocked (reverse action) to suit the application.
Doors may have full access control using card
readers, keyboards etc. They may also be
simply released using push buttons or touch
switches.

SCOPE
Two, three and four way interlocks can be
created as standard. Contact our support team
for systems with more doors involved.

APPLICATIONS:
 Clean Rooms
 Bank Lobbies
 Cash Handling
 Laboratories
 Jewellery Stores

Interlock
System

Simple 2 Door Interlock
Each door is electrically locked and monitored. The
control electronics then generates a control signal to
indicate when the door is closed and secure. Each
controller also has a control input that will prevent the
releasing of the locking device. By cross connecting
these control signals, the door controllers
communicate the door status, and only open one door
at any given time. The simplest interlock would have
two doors and standard systems can be made up to
four doors.

Normal Action
With normal action interlocks all the doors are normally
locked and a “Trigger” device of some kind is used to
unlock a door. While a door is unlocked or open, other
doors are prevented from unlocking. This type of
interlock is most commonly used for security, with
typical applications including: Bank Lobbies, Cash
Handling, Photo, Laboratories, Clean Rooms, and
Jewellery Stores.

Reverse Action
With reverse action interlocks all the doors are
normally unlocked but monitored. When any one of the
doors is detected as “open”, all the other doors are
then locked. These are most commonly used for
functional control rather than security. Reverse and
normal action interlocks can also be mixed on the
same system.

www.progeny.co.uk

Interlock
System

3 Door Mixed with Access Control
Doors may be controlled by P1, P3 controller and/or
an interlock controller.
The trigger device can be a simple push button or an
access control keyboard or card reader. All the
Progeny P1 and P3 controllers have interlocking
interfaces as standard. This means you can mix
interlock controllers with access controllers on the
same system.

3 Door Mixed with Access Control
An “Interlock Programmer” is used to greatly simplify
connecting the interlock signals. It also allows for
easy and flexible programming of the interlock
system. A 12 way DIP switch allows the interlocking
to be programmed in any combination. On board
indicators show current interlock signal status.

READERS &
KEYBOARDS
INTRODUCTION
Identifying a prospective user of a door is one of
the most important tasks of an access control
system.
 Keyboards will allow the entry of secret
knowledge in the form of a “PIN” or an
“Access Code”.
 Readers will extract a credentials
Identification Number.
 Biometric Readers read a physical pattern of
some sort that is unique to person.
For higher security these can be used in
combination to provide two or even three factor
identification.

RFID
“Radio Frequency Identification” (RFID) comes
in many shapes and sizes. All of these can be
interfaced with the Progeny P1 and P3
controller products.

MAGSTRIPE
Still a popular low cost token based means of
identification. These readers extract the
magnetically encoded numbers from the
magnetic strip on the back of a card.

BIOMETRIC
One of the integration success stories has been
that of P3 system with biometric readers. In
particular iRIS ENTRA and the iEVO Fingerprint
readers.

Readers

CRYSTAL RFID
READERS
The Crystal Proximity reader is a universal RFID
reader which can easily be configured by the user to
work with the C2, P1, P2 and P3 systems. The
readers are IP rated and are available in four styles;
Switch Plate, Mullion, Panel Mount and Classic. The
readers are also available with a pigtail flying lead,
further enhancing the IP rating should there be a need
to mount the reader externally. Crystal readers work
with Crystal credentials which ensure compatibility,
reliability and cost savings.

Crystal Panel Mount
This reader is also supplied with a stainless steel
cover. This IP
rated reader has
standard
mounting holes
and is designed
to fit in to an
intercom or entry
panel.

Crystal Switch Plate
This reader mounts directly on to a standard UK
single gang back box making it an ideal solution for
first fix.

Crystal Mullion
This style reader is suitable
for mounting on to door
frames or posts or other
locations that cannot make
use of a single gang back
box. The reader is also
available with a pigtail flying
lead to provide extra flexibility
when mounting on to surfaces
that cannot be easily chased
out or to provide an extra
level of protection for outdoor
environments. The reader is
also supplied with a stainless
steel cover for a more modern
aesthetic.

Hands free reading range (>3.0m)
Fast (20 tags/sec.) multiple reading
High level noise immunity (digital

 Direction sensing firmware
 Inert tags until in reader detection zones

www.progeny.co.uk

The direction sensing reader utilises two external loop
aerials to enable sensing at ranges of up to 3 metres.
Alternatively the same device can monitor two
independent doors which are close together without
providing direction information. The radiofrequency
communications are scrambled to provide high
integrity, and to prevent simulated tokens being used.
Used in the direction sensing mode a tag moving from
one loop to another will have its direction of travel
identified by the reader. The speed of reading tags is
effectively halved compared to a single zone reader.

Long Range

LONG RANGE
RFID
The Progeny Telekey has a read
range up to 25 metres and is an
ideal way to control access through
automated gates, rising barriers etc.
Fobs can be enabled or disabled
from the access control system and
all users will be identified and
logged.
The long read range removes the
need to have the reader on a post by the road
side. Vehicle users do not need to get out of the
cab in order to open a barrier.
The Telekey fob is also available with embedded
Progeny prox, HID prox or iCLASS credentials.

How it works
Each key fob has a unique ID number (site code &
card number), pressing one of the buttons on the
fob transmits this number. When in range, this
number is read by the reader and passed onto a
standard P1 or P3 access controller for decision
making.

Each fob can be treated as any
other credential and allocated:

The IP 56 enclosure of the reader makes it suitable
for indoor or outdoor mounting. This removes the
possible need to dig up road or car park to run cables
to readers near the gate or barrier. The reader also
has two reader outputs that correspond to the two
buttons on the fob. This can be used to control two
barriers from one reader possibly for in / out
applications.

Telekey can be added to any P1 or P3 access control
system. The reader also works in tandem with
whatever existing reader technology is in

Biometric
Integration

Biometric Integration
What are Biometrics?
Biometrics can be taken literally as 'life measurement'
but the term is usually associated with the
measurement and use of unique physiological
characteristics to identify an individual such as
Fingerprints, Face or the Iris.

Advantages of Biometrics
Identification based on biometric techniques removes
the need to remember a password or carry a token
which also eliminates theft of cards or fobs and
therefore constant replacements. Biometric options
are also more cost effective as individuals can be
easily added or removed from the system at no extra
cost.

iEVO Fingerprint Biometric Reader
Fingerprint Recognition
Everyone has a unique, unchanging fingerprint. A
fingerprint is made of a series of ridges and furrows
on the surface of the finger and these are used to
determine the uniqueness of the fingerprint. Once
scanned on the fingerprint sensor, the image of these
patterns is converted into a code through a
mathematical sequence called an algorithm, which
effectively becomes a digital form of you. This is
stored on a database for comparison which identifies
a virtual card number to be sent to the Progeny range
of controllers.

Keyboards

KEYBOARDS
Keyboards cater for the “Secret Knowledge” method
of identification. They can be used by themselves or
in conjunction with token based credentials for
additional security. Keyboards can be used to enter a
common code used by more than one user or a true
Personal Identification Number (PIN). P3 systems
also allow for the entry of a “virtual card” via the
keyboard.

Vandal Resistant Keyboard
This keyboard is robust enough for any public facing,
outdoor applications. The back lit keys make access
code entry in the dark easy. Integral sounder gives
key beep and “Prolonged Door Open” alarm function.

FEATURES
 Vandal Resistant

The principle advantage of using code or PIN alone is
that the user does not need to carry anything around.
There is no credential to get lost or stolen. Keeping
the “secret knowledge” secret is very important
however. The spy proof and scramble keyboards
have some interesting features to help with this and
are explained below.

“Spy-Proof” Keyboard
Allows covert entry of an access code. The design
provides a top quality product along with
architecturally pleasing aesthetics. The heavy gauge
chrome plated front is 7mm thick and is bright
polished to mirror finish. This provides a top quality
feel and a comfortable edge to rest the hand whilst
entering the code.

FEATURES
 Stylish Design
 Spy Proof Front
 Indoor Use Only

 Back Lit Keys
 Surface Mount
 Weather Proof

Keyboards

EGRESS DEVICES
The Progeny Touch Switch is a general purpose
switch capable of detecting near-proximity or
touch. It detects tiny changes in the capacitance
at the front surface. The switch uses a patented
spread-spectrum charge-transfer technology.
Every 80 seconds the switches self-calibrate, this
means that the switch can accommodate large
changes in surface capacitance due to; humidity,
nearby objects etc. Designed specifically for
"Request to Exit" or "Request to Enter Call"
applications. The fully sealed IP66 enclosure
makes it suitable for both, internal or external use.
The "Switch Plate" version will mount on any
standard single gang light switch back box.

FEATURES
 No Moving Parts

The "Mullion" version is ideal for those space
restricted locations.

 Auto Adjust to Environment
 Status Indication
 Audible Feedback

Scramble Keyboard
Interfaces with the P1 & P3 controllers in much the
same way as any other Progeny KB, but provides much
greater security by ensuring that only the person using
the keypad can see which numbers are being entered.
In addition, the numbers behind each key are moved
randomly each time the keyboard is used.
As the digits are scrambled observing which keys are
pressed will not reveal the code or PIN to a potential
intruder.
Each time the Progeny Scramble keyboard is used, the
digits 0 to 9 are allocated at random to the keyboard’s
10 keys. There are over 3.6 million permutations! This
also ensures that the keys wear equally, even if the
same code is always used.

FEATURES
 High Security
 Covert Code / PIN Entry
 3.6 million permutations
 Even Key top Wear
 Surface Mount or Panel Mount
