SiPass Entro is a very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly access control system that can monitor and control access to facilities with up to 512 doors and 40,000 cardholders. It enables customized access rights by categories and offers a complete range of reports. System configuration is simple and an extensive range of reader and card options are available.    

SiPass Entro provides a unique and very smart video recording capability when used in combination with SISTORE digital video recorders from Siemens. Up to 16 SISTORE DVRs and 128 cameras can be connected to SiPass Entro without the need for an additional PC or server. The SiPass Entro software is used to define the events that trigger recording, activate manual recording, and launch the “live view” function. Recorded events can be launched and viewed directly via the event log in the SiPass Entro software along with the status of all connected doors and cameras.        

SiPass Entro supports Windows Terminal Server 2003/2008, which enables multi-site card management from a central location. This makes system maintenance very easy – a single software installation can be used to manage up to 10,000 branch sites. There is no need for system know-how at branch sites – an organization’s headquarters can provide all the know-how and support for the access control system.

Other noteworthy features in SiPass Entro are its integrated reservation function for rooms and facilities, the ability to create and print personalized cards and badges, its elevator and alarm control capabilities, and its open TCP/IP interface to other systems, such as accounting, and time and attendance.                     

SiPass Entro also provides a fast and easy upgrade path to SiPass integrated without any hardware redundancy, which makes SiPass Entro a very safe investment for the long term.

The SiPass Entro software is Windows-based and very easy to use. It can communicate with system hardware via direct connection (COM)‚ local and global networks (LAN/WAN)‚ TCP/IP or modem. The software supports various operating authorizations - for example‚ reception personnel may be authorized only to handle card activation while administrators are authorized to implement basic modifications of the system. 

The software provides sophisticated event control and search functions with graphical icons for door monitoring in addition to common tasks like card administration. It also includes alarm bypass control with alarm status feedback (ASF)‚ anti-passback‚ roll-call‚ interlock function‚ elevator control‚ photo ID‚ and many other useful features.        

The template design tool in the SiPass Entro software makes it possible to design personalized ID cards and print them using standard Windows printer drivers.    

It is also very easy to define alarm zones using the SiPass Entro software. At each reader or door assigned to an alarm zone‚ the alarm can be activated or deactivated. SiPass Entro’s Alarm Status Feedback (ASF) function can indicate the status (armed/disarmed) of the zone at any reader in the zone (via the red reader LED). In applications that include SISTORE DVRs‚ the SiPass Entro software fully integrates the DVRs into the access control system‚ which makes event-triggered recording very easy. 

An integrated Web-based reservation function is also included in the software. It is ideal for managing access to conference rooms‚ sport facilities‚ clubs‚ and so on. Reservation can be done via the Internet or via an InfoPoint reservation terminal. The software also includes an open TCP/IP interface (BAPSI) to third-party applications.            

In cases where wireless components (i.e. RF30-EM and RF9) are used in a SiPass Entro system‚ the SiPass Entro software handles those components in a similar way as it handles wired ones.

The SiPass Entro software is available in the following languages: Czech‚ Danish‚ Dutch‚ English‚ Finnish‚ French‚ German‚ Italian‚ Norwegian‚ Polish‚ Portuguese‚ Spanish and Swedish.      

The segment controller is the heart of the SiPass Entro system. It processes all the information in the system and stores the complete database. As a result‚ the system is robust‚ easy to maintain and able to operate without a connected PC or server‚ even when SISTORE DVRs are connected to it. The integrated Web server and flash memory port provide the basis for additional online functions that can be customized for specific customer requirements. The integrated dual port switch makes network installation a simple matter.    

SiPass Entro segment controller units can communicate using methods such as standard RS485 and TCP/IP networks. These communication channels can also be combined as required. Regardless of the physical network used‚ 128-bit encryption is always applied. 

Communication between point of administration (e.g. PC-client) and segment controller can be established over RS232‚ modem or TCP/IP networks.

The SR35i comes in four different sizes (door capacities)‚ which makes it very easy to tailor the system to fit the site. A maximum of 16 segment controllers can be used in a single SiPass Entro system.     

The SR35i includes built-in RF technology to support online wireless components (currently the RF30-EM Codoor and the RF9 router).

The sizes (door capacities) are 4+4‚ 8+8‚ 16+16 and 32+32‚ meaning that each segment controller can manage the same number of wired doors as wireless doors (e.g. four wired doors and four wireless doors).

The DC01 is designed to monitor and control one door in a SiPass Entro system. When it is connected to a door it continuously reports the status of that door (open or closed) to the system‚ which increases the level of security in the building. The DC01 cannot be connected to a reader. However‚ it can be used to unlock the door and thereby grant access to the public‚ for example‚ during certain times of the day or week‚ based on timer settings in the SiPass Entro system.   

The DC12 is designed to monitor and control one door in a SiPass Entro or SiPass integrated system. When BC-Link is used‚ a single DC12 can support two readers and thereby control both entries and exits to a restricted area (anti-passback).        

The DC12 includes an integrated status display window to simplify installation and service. It is compatible both with SiPass readers and with most third-party readers that support Wiegand and Clock&Data standards.

The DC22 is designed to monitor and control one door in a SiPass Entro or SiPass integrated system. When BC-Link is used‚ a single DC22 can support two readers and thereby control both entries and exits to a restricted area (anti-passback).  

The DC22 includes an integrated status display window to simplify installation and service. It is compatible both with SiPass readers and with most third-party readers that support Wiegand and Clock&Data standards.

The major difference between the DC12 and the DC22 is that the DC22 has additional inputs/outputs that support advanced alarm control functions‚ e.g. alarm status feedback (ASF). These are essential when integration with an intrusion detection system is required. The DC22 also has two outputs for electric locks (day/night lock) as well as separate inputs for open/closed and unlocked/locked door.

Note: The intrusion and ASF functions of the DC22 are only available in SiPass Entro.

PD30-EM and PD40-EM Prox Codoor units are proximity readers for SiPass Entro that include integrated electromechanical locks. These are “all-in-one“ readers, which makes them a very efficient way to meet any indoor security needs. Since the reader is mounted straight onto a standard lock case, it is not necessary to make any cuts in the door other than those required for the cables for power and communication.

PD30-EM is suitable for lock cases with a distance of between 105 mm and 116 mm between the center of the door handle and the center of the lock cylinder. It is designed for use with Scandinavian lock cases.

PD40-EM is suitable for lock cases with a distance of 72 mm between the center of the door handle and the center of the lock cylinder. It is designed for use with European lock cases.

IOR6 is a general relay central designed for use with SiPass Entro and SiPass integrated. Its four inputs and six outputs can be used for applications such as common alarm outputs‚ fire alarm inputs‚ elevator control‚ machine control or door control (in reservation applications). IOR6 can also be used for timer functions.  

Please note in a SiPass Entro system‚ a maximum of 32 IOR6 units can be used for elevator control (for up to 192 floors). For other purposes‚ as many as 512 IOR6 units can be used in a SiPass Entro system; note‚ however‚ that the combined number of doors and IOR6 units connected to a single SiPass Entro system cannot exceed 512.

The SiPass Entro Cotag Starter Kit includes everything you need to set up a two-door access control system. This kit can easily be complemented with one or more door kits to create a larger access control system.

Siemens' Cotag technology is unique on the market in that it can provide both proximity and hands-free card reading in the same system. All Cotag readers can read both active (long-range) and passive (proximity) Cotag cards and tags‚ and both types of cards/tags can be mixed in the same system to provide ultimate convenience and cost-efficiency.

The SiPass Entro PR500-Cotag Starter Kit includes everything you need to set up a four-door access control system. This kit can easily be complemented with up to four additional door kits to create a larger system.

In a SiPass Entro system, the M43 keypad is used primarily in two situations: when you only require the group code level in the system‚ or when you want to add PIN code functionality to a door that already has a card-only reader installed.

InfoPoint is used as a reservation terminal for SiPass Entro and has an integrated function to send and receive information from/to the segment controller (acting as a web server). The InfoPoint uses TCP/IP and works similarly to a web browser in a PC. InfoPoint is supplied with a wall mount kit and a power supply cable (with free end and an RJ45 type of connector). The terminal includes a colour screen and keys for navigating. InfoPoint also has a proximity reader to identify the person who wants to use the unit (either Cotag or EM reading technology).
