Access control system integration

FortiRecorder can connect to a Kantec EntraPass access control system (ACS) to generate events, edit the device name, and display the devices managed by EntraPass. If your ACS devices do not appear in ACS > Configuration > Source Map on FortiRecorder, then you might need to check if they have been disabled on FortiRecorder.

Manual control of ACS doors

You can manually change the status of ACS door devices to locked, controlled, unlocked, or buzzed. To do this, right-click on the device in the device list and then, for example, select Actions >Set to Unlocked.

You can also use a script to control ACS doors.

ACS events and alarms

When an ACS event is sent to FortiCentral,the event appears in any event managers that are listening. Most ACS events do not have any extra data, but door unlocking events will contain the name of the person who unlocked the door.
