December 27, 2002—IR Security & Safety’s Electronic Access Control Division (EACD) has announced that California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) is securing multiple types of facilities with a “Locknetics On Board” computer managed (CM) standalone access control system programmed with LockLink software.
With the standalone CM system, CSUSB is able to provide many of the benefits of a traditional hardwired access control system without the associated costs. Each user is assigned an access credential with appropriate time dependent access privileges. Audit trails on the last 1,000 events are recorded at each opening and can easily be downloaded via a laptop or PDA. This capability allows CSUSB to keep close track of who went into any specific facility or room and at what time. To re-program and audit the individual locking systems, an interface cable attaches Macias’ PDA to the CM lock.
At present, over 70 openings are secured with “Locknetics On Board” CM products in a variety of applications, including both heavily trafficked areas and special rooms that have only sporadic use, such as those that store chemicals. Schlage CM locks are found at classrooms, laboratories, office suites and maintenance shops. The CM locks are also used on their music/recording studio and campus “Coyote” radio station, guarding their $200,000 worth of hardware and software.
