Background: Current Security System Architectures • Stand Alone Systems – All in one • Host Based Systems – Distributed Intelligence Architecture • Transactions are processed locally • Reader (s) and Door (s) Connections • Alarm and Output Connections – Master Controller Architecture • Communicates to “sub” controllers • Sub Controllers – Reader Connection (s) – Door Connection (s) – Alarm and Output Connections

Background: Distributed Intelligence System Architecture

Background: Typical Master Controller Architecture

Distributed Intelligence Architecture Typical Security Architecture Partial Failure

Background: Typical Master Controller Total Failure

Background: Typical Master Controller Total Failure

Summary • Current Systems have a vulnerability – Partial or Total Depending on the Architecture • Controller Failure – Everything within the controls are affected • Distributed Intelligence has the least impact • Master Controller Architecture has Total Failure • Communication is a point of Vulnerability

Virtual Point Architecture with Fault Tolerance Capabilities

Fault Tolerance Architecture Is a means of System Recovery utilizing “Automated System Reconfiguration” provided through Dynamic Network Architecture (DNA) with little or no impact on system security or operations upon a failure within any of the components of the system.

Fault Tolerant Architecture • Eliminates “Single Point of Failure” • Ability to Automatically “Recover” upon failure due to: – Primary or Secondary Communication Failure – Hardware Failure of a FTC (s) – Firmware Failure • Real-time Dynamic Network Architecture – Automatically “takes” over the duties of a failed FTC • Provide 100% Distributed Intelligence – Real-time decisions are made by the FTC • Hydra Protocol – FTC Network Administrator – Peer to Peer – Database Management • Eliminates System Failure!!! • Eliminates “Emergency Calls”

FT Architecture Components • Host System (Li. NC-NXG, Plus, XS, EBI*) • Fault Tolerant Controller (FTC) – Supports 16 -32 DIM (Door Interface Modules) – 100% Distributed Intelligence – Global I/O – Global Entry-Exit • Door Interface Modules – DDM – 2 Reader Controller – SDM – 1 Reader Controller

Fault Tolerant Architecture Powered by Hydra

Fault Tolerant Controller (FTC) • 32 Bit RISC Technology • Open Systems Operating System – Linux • Communication – Ethernet (Primary) – Ethernet or Po. E (Primary or Secondary) – Wireless - XBee PRO Digi. Mesh (Tertiary) • 7 Segment Real-Time Status Display • VFD Status Display (optional FTC only) – Clique Communication and Status Information

Fault Tolerant Controller Capabilities • FTC – 100% Distributed Intelligence • • All Real-time Decisions All Card Database Global Anti-Passback (No Host) Global Input/Output Linking (No Host) – “Hydra” Protocol • Peer to Peer – Host to FTC, FTC to DDM and SDM • • FTC Network Administrator Database Management and Synchronization Communication Path Management Firmware Administrator – Supervised Tamper protection – CEPAS Card Support – 100% TWIC, PIV and FIPS Capable (HSPD Government Regulations)

FTC Capacities • Cardholders – 20, 000 – 250, 000+ – 12 or 24 Digit Card Numbers • Compatible with any card standards • CEPAS, PIV, TWIC, etc. • History Transactions – 20, 000 – 250, 000+ History Transactions • 1 Year of Holidays

Dual Door Module (DDM) • 32 Bit RISC Technology • Open Systems Operating System – Linux • Communication – Ethernet (Primary) – Ethernet or Po. E (Secondary) – Wireless - XBee PRO Digi. Mesh (Tertiary) • 5 State Supervised Monitoring – A/D Sense Input Technology – Supervised Readers – Automatic Calibration for Cable Distance and Size • Hydra Protocol

Single Door Module (SDM) • SDM – All in One (Controller and Reader, shown) – Controller Only • Power over Ethernet (Po. E) – Single Communication Port SDM -ERP 40 • Supports - One Reader • REX, Door Status, Lock Output for 1 door • Hydra Protocol

Advantages to “FT Architecture” • • World’s Most Reliable Security System Active/Active and Active/Passive Topologies No Degradation of system performance No Degradation during routine maintenance “Failures” are not an immediate Emergency Automated Firmware Authentication and Updates Authentication Protocol PCSC is the Only Provider of FT systems – Patented – Competitive Edge

Fault Tolerant Controller Features • All the Features of IQ/SIM/ULT series Controllers • Increase Authorization Groups per Cardholder to 12 (4) • Global Entry/Exit – Timed Anti-Passback • Global I/O • Card Activation and De-Activation – Date and Time • “Stale Cards” Access Denial – “Short” and “Long Term” Values • Enterprise Cards, Vacation, etc. . • Escort Definition by Cardholder and Reader • Security Threat Levels (4) – 24 (8 X 8) Authorizations Groups per Cardholder
