Superterm-4: Continental's Four Door Intelligent Controller

Continental's Superterm-4 provides expandable intelligent controller technology for one to four doors. This FIPS compliant distributed processor-based panel is capable of processing 256 bit cards from card to controller to software and features built-in NVR/DVR and alarm integration. Superterm-4 is programmed via CardAccess 3000 software and operates as a standalone unit in the event server-communications are interrupted.

Once programmed, this controller does not require continuous server communications, as it automatically stores system transactions in its internal memory. Field expandable memory allows for greater cardholder populations and/or a larger transaction buffer and flash EPROM firmware upgrades easily when system enhancements are required.

Up to 63 Controllers (Microterm, Miniterm, Smarterm, or Superterm) can be intermixed on the same communications network. Multiple communication ports can connect to the CardAccess server for maximum system expansion.
