2 Overview of Access Easy Controller™
The Access Easy Controller is a modularly designed access control system. It consists of main
CPU Card and from one to four Card Reader Controller cards and/or Input-Output cards. With
a full configuration of our Card reader controller cards and four Input-Output cards, a fully
configured Access Easy Controller can support up to 16 cards readers, 32 alarm type input
points and 32 controllable output points. In its minimum configuration, a Access Easy Con-
troller will support four card readers, plus all necessary supporting hardware (door lock/strike
outputs, door contact inputs and request-to-exit inputs).
Based on hardware configuration and database setup, Access Easy Controller offers the cus-
tomer feature and functions often available only with high-end access control controllers.
XDoor access control using card readers, or card reader and PIN code
XIn and Out readers for high security areas
XAnti-passback control
XAlarm monitoring of reader controlled doors for Door Held and Door Forced conditions
XAlarm monitoring of non-reader doors and other inputs
XManual door unlocking and locking
XAutomatic door locking and unlocking based on schedules
XAutomatic Arming and Disarming of input points
XLighting and output control based on schedules
XSpecial scheduling option for holidays
XBuilt-in reporting capabilities
XCommon alarm output for connection to intrusion alarm system
Since the Access Easy Controller can support such wide range of applications, it is necessary
for one to understand how to configure it and select the necessary hardware, such as card
readers or additional I/O Cards.
Unlike almost all other access control controllers, no special software is needed on a host
computer. The software needed to program and operate the Access Easy Controller is built
into the controller. Data entry and system monitoring functions are performed by connecting
to the controller with a standard Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft's
Internet Explorer. All database management screens are presented in simple, easy to use
HTML format in much the same manner as screen presentations from almost any Internet Web
site.
For information on using the data entry and monitoring screens, refer to the Access Easy Con-
troller Software User's Manual.

Bosch Security Systems Hardware Manual Ver 2.0.0 | 2006.07
2.1 Basic Access Easy Controller Configuration
Access Easy Controller - The basic Access Easy Controller consists of single metal enclosure
containing five circuit boards: a CPU, a 4-reader controller, a Secure/Communication card,
Power supply card and a RS485 Convertor card. There is space inside the enclosure to add
one additional controller card, either a second 4-reader board, or an optional 8-Input/8-Out-
put card. Space is also provided for a 12-volt standby battery. The controller is powered from
an external 18-volt transformer (for UL Listed system) or 15VDC Power Supply Unit (for CE
and UL Listed system). The enclosure is key locked and is equipped with a tamper switch to
detect when the controller door is opened.
CPU Card - The CPU card contains a microprocessor, RAM memory and all necessary elec-
tronic circuitry to interface with the other circuit boards. The CPU card also contains the
hardware and software needed to interface to an Ethernet-type network and to communicate
with host computers using TCP/IP protocol.
4-Reader-board - The 4-reader board contains all circuitry necessary to interface with, and
operate, up to four card readers. It also provides wiring termination points for the readers,
door strikes or magnetic locks, door contacts and request-to-exit devices. The reader board
interfaces to the CPU card via the RS485 Convertor card. Power for the board is provided by
a separate two-wire connection from the Power Supply Card.
8-Input/8-Output Card - The 8-Input/8-Output card provides the circuitry necessary to moni-
tor 8-alarm type (non-reader) inputs, and to control up to eight external devices, such as bells,
fans, lights, etc. The card also provides wiring termination points for the input and output
devices. The card interfaces to the CPU card via the RS485 Convertor card. Power for the
card is provide by a separate two-wire connection from Power Supply Card.
Power Supply Card - We have categories the Access Easy Controller system into UL Listed
system and CE Listed system. The UL Listed system consists of a 18VAC Power Supply Card
that takes in an external 18VAC and converts it to 12VDC and 5VDC that are needed by the
electronics. Whereas, the CE Listed system, uses a 15VDC Power Supply Card that takes in
15VDC from a Power Supply Unit and converts it to 12VDC and 5VDC. In the rest of this man-
ual, we will provides both the configuration and installation of the UL Listed system and CE
Listed system.
Convertor Card - The RS485 Convertor Card provides the communication link between the
CPU card and rest of the cards, mainly the 4-Reader Controller Card and the 8-Input/8-Output
Card. Power for the card is provided by a separate two-wire connection from the Power Sup-
ply Card
Access Easy Extension - A metal enclosure identical in size to the basic controller. It contains
a power supply card, and space to install up to three additional reader controller and/or Input-
Output cards. A RS485 Convertor card is used to connect the interface cards in the expansion
controller to the main controller. Power to the expansion controller is provided from a sepa-
rate 18-volt transformer for UL Listed system or a built-in 15VDC Power Supply Unit for CE
Listed system. Space is provided within the expansion chassis for a 12-volt standby battery.

4.2 When the network does not meet the requirements of Access
Easy Controller
The following paragraphs provide expanded discussion of network items that were identified
as not compatible with Access Easy Controller during completion of the network survey.
For each item, at least one solution will require hardware or software changes within the cus-
tomer's computer. These modifications should always be done by customer, their IT depart-
ment, or their supplier of IT hardware and systems. Bosch Security systems personnel should
not modify the hardware and/or software configuration of customer's computer.

2.1 No network in place
You arrived here because the customer does not have a network in place. That does not auto-
matically mean that Access Easy Controller is not a viable access control solution.
There are two possible solutions.
1. The customer can configure an existing non-networked computer to work with Access
Easy Controller by adding a network card and drivers. The configured computer can now
be connected directly to the Access Easy Controller using a crossover type cable.
2. The customer can purchase a network ready computer and have it configured with a net-
work card and the necessary drivers to work with Access Easy Controller. A basic low-
end computer, such as a Celeron 466 MHz, will be all that is needed to support Access
Easy Controller.
2.2 Network is not an Ethernet network
You arrived here because the customer's network topology is other than Ethernet. Access
Easy Controller will not work on non-Ethernet networks, such as Token-Ring, etc.
Possible solutions:
1. Most computers can support multiple network adapters. Suggest that the customer
modify the configuration of one or more computers by adding an Ethernet adapter and
configuring Ethernet drivers.
2. Dedicate a non-networked computer to work with Access Easy Controller. This computer
will need to be configured with an Ethernet adapter and TCP/IP protocol drivers. It can
then be directly connected to the Access Easy Controller using the crossover type cable
provided with the controller.
2.3 No connection point available into the customer's network
You arrived here because there is no way to connect the Access Easy Controller to the cus-
tomer's network. Usually this happens because the network architecture uses coaxial cabling
or thick-net cabling rather than category-5 thin-net cabling. This shortfall can usually be easily
overcome.
Possible solutions:
1. The customer's hubs should be checked. Many hubs provide connectors for all three
types of Ethernet cabling. If a hub is found with an available RJ-45 jack, then the Access
Easy Controller can be connected to that jack.
2. If the network cabling is coaxial type, then a hub with both coaxial and RJ-45 connectors
can be added to the network. A new segment of coax will be needed to be inserted to
link the new hub into the existing network. The Access Easy Controller can then be ter-
minated at any RJ-45 jack on the new hub.
