EKEY CONVERTER AND TOCANET SOFTWARE BUNDLE

ADD-ON TO YOUR TOCAnet

ekey LAN/RS485 converter functions as a serial device manager and a translator between two sides: TCP/IP and RS-485.

On the LAN side: Each converter on the network should be assigned unique static IP address to manage up to 4 systems (1 system = 2 devicesà 1 reader + 1 control unit) per single static IP. Each converter is connected to the network over the LAN using RJ-45 plug where the TOCAnet server application is running on a server with another static IP. You can add multiple converters per system, each will have its own static IP address

On RS485: The converter has one port that supports RS-485 for communicating with fingerprint reader and control units. Each ekey converter supports 4 systems (1 system = 2 devicesà 1 reader + 1 control unit). The internal and external unit must be connected by two cables as follows:

• Data Cable or Bus Connection: clamp 1 and clamp 2 of each control unit and fingerprint reader on the bus are daisy-chain connected together to the corresponding clamps on ekey converter RS-485 port using CAT 5/6 or bell wire with minimum wire cross section of 0.22 mm². The bus is terminated by 120 ohm resistor. It is recommended to use control and scanner units interchangeably for faultless operation in case the wiring is broken.
  
  
• Power Cable and connection: each fingerprint reader is powered by its correspondent control unit using a two conducts with minimum wire cross section of 0.75 mm². ekey converter is powered by any single device.

TOCAnet Server & Administration Program
This software is a Windows-based service and user interface. The services are installed on a server on the LAN that allows remote login over VPN or WAN if remote access is required. The user interface allows user addition, fingerprint enrollment, access right definition, etc. Audit trails are generated and stored at each reader. Once it is online with the server, audit log data are reported in various options as defined by the administrator

PERSONAL ACCESS PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED

Personal access problems are solved with ekeyTOCA products! The convenience of completely keyless entry, added security, and peace of mind replaces worries associated with the use of keys, PINs, and access cards. Situations such as loss, stolen, unauthorized copies made, shared codes becoming known, buddy punching, etc. Not to mention the time and money saved from managing numbers of keys, codes, and cards.

Biometry uses peoples' biological characteristics as unique keys. Biometry transfers the access key from being on you to you. Using biometry, ekey developed its own biometric finger scan technology solution in the form of TOCA®

TOCAhome, TOCAhome3, TOCAhome pc are stand alone (no computer required) fingerprint biometric access control systems consisting of a weather resistant reader and a control panel. Desired users are entered and deleted at the control panel.

An enrolled user swipes his/her finger at the reader. If the key code (an irreversible code taken from one's fingerprint) is matched, the person will be allowed to gain access. If not matched, access is denied.
