Network Connection Made Easy

Combine The Kantech IP Link (KT-IP) is an RS-232 to TCP/IP interface that connects KT-100 or KT-300 door controllers to a network. It reduces cabling, and gives the controllers real-time access to information and enhanced functionality by leveraging the bi directional communications capabilities of TCP/IP. KT-IP integrates seamlessly into an existing TCP/IP network and requires no changes to existing equipment, network, or systems. The KT-IP is compatible with EntraPass security management software and uses 128-bit AES encryption to ensure secure communication.

The data transfer from the controller is asynchronous to the actions on the TCP/IP network. The KT-IP manages polling of door controllers and communicates with the EntraPass Multi-Site Gateway only when an event has occurred. Communication integrity is ensured through a heartbeat signal, which is sent at a regular interval to the EntraPass software. This asynchronous communication significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth required to manage your access control system over the network.

The KT-IP is easy to set up. Use an EntraPass workstation, a web browser or the KT-Finder, an intuitive standalone application designed to locate and configure the KT-IP. In most installations, EntraPass software automatically detects and configures the KT-IP using the MAC address.
