To avoid fraud, a concealed microswitch allows the teacher to compare a head count of students to the number who clocked in. Other units in the network can be used for automatic processing and recording of latecomers. In industrial use, employees simply touch their i Button ID tags to the reader on the front of the ZipNet Terminal or swipe their bar-coded cards as they enter or leave the workplace. The entrance data is stored and collected on schedule by the network. Support software is supplied by ASP, and application software is available from ASP and from other vendors.
Installation is straightforward and secure.
ASPNet Access Controller is networked in real time to a host PC computer and reads either i Button or bar code data to control door access. The ASPNet Access Controller uses the same packaging as the ClassNet and ZipNet Terminals and includes three LEDs for indicating Power, Access Allowed and Access Denied status. The ASPNet Access Controller measures only 115mm x 72mm x 28mm and incorporates both a scanning slot for bar-coded cards and a contact socket for reading i Buttons. When an i Button tag is read or bar coded card is scanned, the data is decoded and sent in real time to the host computer. The host computer advises the Access Controller to display the Access Denied or Access Allowed status and to activate the solenoid door jamb if access is permitted.
