1. Effects on the operation of the Gate/Access Doors and Alarm System
Facilities using a Controller
When a facility is equipped with a Controller, turning off your computer, the one that the manager uses for the Property Management/Accounting Systems will have no effect on the operation of the Gate/Access Controls or Alarm systems.
Facilities using a PC
A property that uses their PC to run Axcys, to control Gate/Access or Alarm Systems should NEVER turn off this computer. It becomes the central *brain* of the access control system. It is subject to shut down, virus and other potential causes for failure. Any such failure will result in the Gate becoming inoperable. A Controller is always recommended specifically to avoid these and other issues.
2. Effects on the Interface between the Property Management/Accounting System and Access Control System.
In both a Controller or PC based system, unless there is an installed web enabled interface on the Controller, no interface updates can occur. An example is that from U-Haul. In most all other cases, turning off the PC will result in NO interface capability.
