INTELLIGENT CONTROLLER SUPPORTING UP TO 2 DOORS LOCALLY AND 64 READERS IN TOTAL USING EXPANSION IO MODULES
Open Architecture
Work with a variety of software partners over time without any re-investment in hardware
Based on HID Mercury Technology
Built on a tried and tested platform, operating in the most demanding access control enterprises for 25+ years
End-to-End Security
TLS 1.2, AES-256, OSDP Secure Channel and 4-state supervised inputs ensures no weak technology link in the chain of security
VertX® Compatibility
Installs in the same footprint as VertX and communicates with V100, V200 and V300 IO Modules
The HID Aero Controller product line provides a complete and fully functional hardware, firmware, software library and tool infrastructure for access control software providers. This product line is ideal for access control providers who do not want to incur the ongoing costs of designing, manufacturing and maintaining panel hardware along with the critical access control logic that commonly resides locally in access control panels. The HID Aero Controller product line is the successor to HID’s VertX® and EDGE®, and is based on HID Mercury technology, a panel technology supporting 4 million+ panels installedglobally since the early 1990s.
The HID Aero X1100 provides onboard IO support for up to two access points and two (Wiegand) or four (OSDP) readers. Four robust relays provide door lock and auxiliary output control while seven supervised inputs are used to monitor door status, REX, power supply, battery, tamper and generalpurpose inputs status, all supporting analog-to-digital conversion. Attach expansion IO modules (X100, X200 and X300) to expand the number of access points controlled. At maximum capacity, the X1100 can control up to 64 readers, 64 access points, 615 inputs or 388 outputs.
The X1100 serves as a form and fit replacement for both the VertX EVO V1000 and V2000 providing both on-board two-door support and downstream IO module communication in a single SKU. The X1100 communicates with HID Aero X100, X200 and X300 IO modules as well as VertX V100, V200 and V300 IO modules.
INTELLIGENT CONTROLLER & IO MODULE SYSTEM FEATURES
Highly Configurable
- Change reader modes based on time thresholds, pre-alarm signals, for the benefits of functionality like a global lockdown
- Enable access rights or alerts for specific groups of users
- Create unique situational emergency alerts using highly detailed transaction information and data correlation features
Sophisticated Threat Detection
- Duress signaled from keypad readers will notify the host for immediate action and quick response in emergency situations
- Offline protection against improper card usage via local anti-passback capability
- Ability to monitor supervised input wiring to help identify system faults or malicious attacks
Platform Security
- Encryption of data at rest provides privacy for data on the intelligent controller
- Monitor the health of the intelligent controller on the network by utilizing SNMPv3
- Ensure rogue devices cannot be plugged into the network by using 802.1X to implement port based network access control
Hardware Design
- The Aero X1100 combines the capability of the legacy V1000 and V2000 enabling a simpler approach to installation – one SKU covers both use cases!
- Market leading maximum operating temperature allows for installation in harsh environments
