The eSSL AiFace-Arion biometric terminal (KT ERP reference KTI0100200MUAIA) is engineered for broad interoperability across enterprise physical security infrastructures, electrical locking systems, and time-and-attendance networks. Built on an embedded Linux operating system and powered by a 1.0 GHz dual-core processor with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM, the device provides native hardware interfaces and protocol support for straightforward integration into both standalone and controller-managed door environments.
Access Control Peripheral and Hardware Interfacing
The unit features integrated interface wiring terminals designed to switch and monitor peripheral door hardware directly, eliminating the requirement for intermediary relays in standard access loops:
- Locking Mechanisms: Compatible with fail-safe and fail-secure locking hardware, including electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and electric drop bolt locks.
- Monitoring Inputs: Dedicated dry-contact interface terminals for door position sensors (door magnetic switches) to report real-time door status.
- Egress Hardware: Direct inputs for standard request-to-exit buttons (push-to-exit devices).
- Security Outputs: Onboard auxiliary alarm output terminal for triggering external signaling devices or alerting security panels upon tamper or forced door events.
Master-Slave and Third-Party Panel Interoperability
For hybrid deployments involving multi-door access controllers or exterior slave terminals, the AiFace-Arion provides bidirectional interface channels:
- Wiegand Communication: Equipped with both Wiegand Input and Wiegand Output ports. The Wiegand Output allows the device to transmit verified credential data to third-party access control panels, while the Wiegand Input supports connection to an external secondary reader for bi-directional ingress/egress validation.
- Serial Automation Bus: Incorporates an RS485 communication line for connecting peripheral slave units or linking into existing industrial serial networks.
RFID Credential and 2D Barcode Compatibility
The internal optical and radio-frequency subsystems accept a wide range of physical credential standards alongside facial recognition and fingerprint data, maintaining a database of up to 10,000 cards in 1:N verification mode:
- Proximity Cards: Standard 125 kHz Proximity ID Card protocols.
- Smart Cards: HID Prox and HID iClass contactless smart card standards, with optional support for 13.56 MHz Mifare IC cards.
- Barcode Recognition: The 2-megapixel Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) low-light camera automatically decodes printed and digital mobile-screen credentials, supporting QR code, PDF417, Data Matrix, and MicroPDF417 formats.
Network Infrastructure and Software Integration
The terminal integrates into local and wide-area networks via dual network channels, accommodating both structured cabling and wireless deployments:
- Ethernet: Standard hardwired TCP/IP interface for high-speed automated log polling and real-time database synchronization.
- Wireless: Built-in Wi-Fi radio module for network enrollment in retrofits or locations lacking physical LAN drops.
- Software Platforms: Fully compatible with eSSL centralized management suites, including eTimetracklite Software and ebioServer, enabling unified configuration of 6,000 face templates, 6,000 fingerprint templates, and logging for up to 200,000 transaction records.
- Power Input Compatibility: Operates strictly from an external regulated DC 12V, 3A power source.
