KEY BENEFITS

n KONE Access Control Interface enables smoother

integration between elevators and all building
access control
n Makes possible the Integration with both
conventional elevators and Destination Control
Systems (DCS)
n Easy and straightforward installation process
n Ensures the best response times and minimizes
influence of access control system on people flow
capacity

Improved security with smoother people flow

Offices, hospitals and industrial buildings, as well as an increasing
number of residential buildings, use access control systems to
improve security and convenience. KONE Access Control Interface
makes possible to connect any access control system with the
KONE elevator control system to increase security in the building
while improving people flow.

With integrated access control, users can move easily and securely
to the elevator and their destination floor. When turnstiles are
integrated with a Destination Control System (DCS), direct home
floor call feature can be activated when a person passes through
turnstile, ensuring smooth movement through the lobby to the
final destination.

KONE supplies elevator group controllers and control panels,

as well as space for installing card readers. The access control

Integration of KONE Access with third-
party access control system
When there is KONE Access in the building for the elevators, interface to third-party access control
system(s) is easier to do with KONE Access Connectivity Suite™. This will ensure that all elevator
features provided by KONE Access will be available, like e.g. priority calls, disability features, special
profiles.

KONE Access Connectivity Suite is a software that

has been tested, thus, ensuring robust solution. By Others By KONE

NOTE:
n The internet protocol TCP/IP interface makes installation easy because both systems are connected to same LAN.

All KONE elevator systems can be connected to the building’s access control system.
n The TCP/IP interface requires some software development on the Access Control System (ACS) vendor side.
