Campus 1000 Software

The PERSONA security locking solution starts with a system software called PERSONA Campus 1000™. Campus 1000 is an advanced and flexible locking system that supports Magnetic Stripe technology able to use either track 3 or track 1 for offline access control along with your existing track 2 for online security solutions. This flexibility allows PERSONA to work on the same card as existing mag stripe applications on campuses.

• PERSONA’s Campus 1000™ software runs on Microsoft® Windows™. It can run on a single PC as a stand-alone system or as a networked system with existing TCP/IP networks.
• The system can be utilized with most existing high coercivity mag stripe ID cards.
• Campus 1000™ offers many interfacing options that will allow you to eliminate operator error and duplicate entry. The software has been designed to plug into the campus’ workflow and blend into your established environment.
• User-defined access patterns and access points (privilege points) as well as pre-defined keycard start and end times can all be assigned to an individual and grant access to offline and online readers with the same card.
• The invalidation of individual keycards/users as well as the ability to reactivate these invalidated cards can be done with cards and without reprogramming the offline lock units.
• Time controlled access allows different access to different users at various times throughout the day.
• System Operators may have their priviliges curtailed and partitioned by building and card type. For example some users might not be ablity to make master keys or generate Future Unlock Codes.
• The “Conference Guest Wizard” offers administrators a quick and easy way to encode keycards for guests at summer camps and conferences.
• Doors can be set in “passage mode” to remain unlocked during certain times (i.e. 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and automatically lock down at the end of the specified time frame. While in passage some users may be granted the ability to relock and again unlock the door with their keycards. Passage mode can be automatic or may be triggered by the first person through, or the first of a group of people. Once in lockdown mode, only users with proper keycards and (optionally) PIN codes would be allowed access.
• Six-digit Emergency Unlock Codes can be issued to bypass “lock-outs” (cards left in the room). These codes might also be pre-issued in order to grant future access to an area for a limited time without the need to encode a keycard with offline data. The code will work at some certain time and then, after a short while, never work again. This all happens fully offline.

Locksets and equipment are as standardized as possible for ease of adoption into the campus network.

• The Power Over Ethernet lockets use standard 802.3af PoE switches and cabling to work within an infrastructure that can be deployed and maintained by your current cabling specialists.
• The WiFi locksets utilize your existing 802.11b/g Network infrastructure meaning you should not have to deploy any special access points for our locksets.
• The offline peripheral hardware is as industry standard is possible. PERSONA utilizes a Windows Mobile Pocket PC to communicate with the locksets. The card encoders connect to your network with a standard network appliance available from any one of several manufacturers; it is not proprietary, and the campus’ IT Department can express a brand preference depending on their needs and suppliers.
