DIAGRAM-1:  OTIS v3 TOPOLOGY – using DECS with Embedded Readers

The diagram below shows the NEW topology using a DEC with built-in reader that communicate through the Layer-3 Switch. This is the same topology that was supported in the Galaxy integration to Otis v2.  THIS SOLUTION WILL NOT CONTROL A TURNSTILE OR LOCK RELAY

• A Galaxy Operator configures Elevator Floor Group & DEC Modes at the SG Client/Server and loads the configuration to the Galaxy 635 OEI Panel. The cardholder/card data, access groups, time schedules, default floors and other special features are also stored at the Galaxy OEI Panel.

• The 635 OEI Panel sends the DEC settings, Floor Groups, free/authorized floors and DEC Mode to each DEC via the Otis Layer-3 Switch.

• When a user presents credentials to an embedded reader, all data (including card data) is sent to the Galaxy OEI Panel via the Layer-3 switch. The Galaxy OEI Panel makes the access decision (grant or deny), based on the card & access rules stored in the Panel. The access decision is returned to the DEC via the Layer-3 Switch.  The Otis DES/DER server decides which elevator car is the most appropriate, based on passenger load and any special card features (such as default floor, VIP, split group, and other special features).

 

NOTE: In this scenario you do not need to install 635 DRM boards in the Galaxy OEI Panel for the embedded reader.
