Has anyone ever seen a problem with using multiview and browsing the web at the same time? If multiview is open and then I open up IE or FireFox I can't connect to any sites. If I close Multiview, close the browsers and then reopen the browser it works. Then I can open Multiview and use both. But if I close the browser and reopen with Multiview still running I have the same issue and have to repeat the process.

Has anyone ever heard of or used Hartman access control systems? Just looking for thoughts and reviews.

Hello all, I'm just looking for some suggestions on a manlock (or if you are a fire inspector an "interlock" ) My company is in the process of constructing a 3 story building with a secure datacenter in the basement. Our compliance requirements call for a manlock to enter the datacenter. The manlock is going to consist of 3 doors, one for the entrance and two for the datacenter (separate datacenters adjoining). I have experience WinPak and N1000 panels, but only for smaller, simpler setups. I know we will need readers on both egress and ingress for mustering so I would imagine that each door would end up taking up two readers on a panel. I guess the big question is what system would be able to handle this properly? Most panels I've seen so far seem to limit at 4 readers on a panel, but being that there is 3 physical doors with two readers apiece I think I need a panel that handles at least 6 readers. I know that most if not all systems can be expanded but they seem to differ from manufacturer to manufacturer as to how the panels can interact. Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!

Jeromephone, thanks I am going to check into that. Sir Flannel, I was planning on using the NetAXS boards from Honeywell with WinPak just because I am used to the software. Honeywell is pretty expensive though and my company is cutting budgets so I might have to look at a different company. I was considering using a series of relays to control the mantrap but our security auditing company wants as much event logging as possible (the other reason I wanted WinPak). I was also hoping to use boards to simplify wiring incase we needed to change the setup in the future. Below is the setup I am planning on. We checked with fire codes and as long as the interface with FACP drops maglocks directly from power we are ok. I will be using an Altronix power supply design just for these requirements. I know for most boards they control up to 4 doors and a few relays on the same board. For the manlock I would need 6 readers and a few more relays per door. Below is the setup I plan on using. -Three physical doors -Two readers per door (ingress and egress) -One maglock per door to prevent exiting without card scan -One electric strike per door as a fail secure in the event of power failure or FACP forcing the mags to drop -One PIR above each egress to shunt the door position sensor -One DPS per door to monitor for force or hold opens -One delayed egress button per door for fire code purposes Each physical door would require 2 readers, 2 output relays (mag lock and strike), and three inputs (DPS, PIR, and delayed egress button) I know most 4 door boards can have expanded output cards attached, but my main concern is needing 6 readers on two separate boards. It is my understanding that most 4 door boards keep all communications on that board itself. If I am two readers short, will the board be able to span to another 4 door board to shunt readers?
