Exter
Overview
Purpose of the device
Exter is a device designed to operate autonomically (by operating, for example, a door latch) or to read RFID tags and send their data to a main reader, such as an IND2, RCP2 or BoxID via RS-485 or RS-232.
When a card or an RFID tag is applied to the Exter, the device emits a sound via the built-in buzzer, and then sends the card ID to the main reader or an access controller.
Exter should be mounted near outside doors, while the main reader is located in a safe place. The devices are interconnected with wires.
