NAV IP Access Controller

1. Introduction
The NAV IP access controller is a powerful Linux-based controller with modular design. You can
add up to 4 door modules to the NAV controller for expanding the control scale of up to 8
doors / readers. Or you can add one alarm module to the NAV controller to manage up to 10
alarm inputs and 18 alarm outputs.
Moreover, each NAV controller can connect up to 31 EverFocus’ Flex series controllers to
expand the control scale of up to 256 doors / readers. You can connect to the NAV controller
via network to remotely review, monitor all the events on NAV and Flex controllers and
configure all 31 Flex series controllers from the same built-in browser-based management
software. Furthermore, you can optionally install multiple NAV controllers for a larger scale
access control system. By doing so, you will need the enterprise level Navigation software
installed as a central server to manage the large access control system.
