| The Embedded Controller (E.C.)
The Embedded Controller provides a decentralized approach to access control. An E.C. can be used to control 256 doors and 256 card readers. It can also store up to 8000 card records. All card access information and permission levels is stored local to each E.C., so the E.C. can act as a stand-alone unit in the case of network failure or other unforeseen issue.
Because the E.C. is IP-based, it can be used to control an entire building with multiple floors or one single area. System architecture is greatly simplified because of this feature.

| The Card Access Software
The Card Access software allows for a central point of card management. Administrators of the system can establish users to edit the card data. The card access database can be served from a central location, in which multiple computers can access and modify the data at the same time. The software provides the following additional features:
--Full support for HID compliant 26-bit WEIGAND card numbers.
--Full access control management including door-specific time-zones, access levels, and holiday permission settings.
--A wide range range of information for each card holder, including picture, name, and contact information.
--Sorting, filtering, and printing options for all card data.
--Card design tools and card printing capabilities.
--Immediate distribution of card data to all or individual Embedded Controllers.

| The Field Termination
Termination of field devices for the MTI Access Control System is accomplished using MTI's Data Loop protocol. Termination boards for the 26-bit WEIGAND readers provide termination for 8 readers each. These termination boards can be daisy-chained together with up to 8 other reader termination boards. The locking termination boards provide 16 I/O termination points. All lines are fused and standard Form C mechanical relays are provided that can support both AC and DC applications.
