Abstract:
A peripheral controller for an access control system according to one embodiment includes a reader interface, a Power over Ethernet circuit, a processor, and a memory. The reader interface is configured to be communicatively coupled to at least one credential reader. The Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuit is configured to receive power over an Ethernet cable for powering the peripheral controller. The memory includes a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, causes the peripheral controller to analyze credential data received via the reader interface make an access control decision based on the analyzed credential data.

Claim (Index 15):
An access control system, comprising:\n a credential reader configured to receive access credentials via a wireless communication connection with a credential device; an electronic lock including a lock mechanism configured to control access through a barrier; and a peripheral controller separate from the electronic lock and comprising a reader interface communicatively coupled to the credential reader and a Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuit that receives power over an Ethernet cable for powering the peripheral controller, wherein the peripheral controller is configured to: analyze credential data received from the credential device via the reader interface; make an access control decision based on the analyzed credential data to determine whether to grant access to a user of the credential device; and transmit a control signal to the electronic lock to unlock the lock mechanism in response to a determination to grant access to the user.
