Case Study

In modern data centers, access control is as important as network security, it isn’t just about doors but also about ensure the right people 

access the right areas at the right time. To handle the challenges such as unauthorized entry, tailgating entry, shared credentials, the 

combination of CT9 terminal and Cidron reader delivers a powerful solution designed to meet the highest standards of security in data 

centers, every entry and exit must be authorized, monitored, and recorded with anti-passback access control.

Prevent Unauthorized or Shared Card Access

In data centers, unauthorized entry like credential colone, lending, tailgating, or reader tampering can lead to serious risk.

●  CT9 terminal enforce anti-passback logic at hardware level, ensures users cannot re-enter without properly exiting first, preventing badge

sharing and tailgating.

●  CT9 terminal support wiegand input to work with Cidron reader for both exit and entrance access control. 

●  Both CT9 and Cidron reader support high-security encrypted cards such as Mifare, Mifare Plus, DESFire EV1/EV2/EV3 and AV1/AV2/AV3

with DES/3DES/AES encryption, preventing card cloning or duplication.

This system offer multiple technologies credentials combined with dynamic door-opening password to prevent card colone, credential lending 

or unknown entry, ensuring that only authorized individuals with verified credentials can enter.

Advanced-security Role-based Access Control according to Different Authorities

Shared data centers require different levels of access with limited time or area permissions for different people such as visitors, tenants, 

maintenance staff.

●  CT9 + Cidron support 2 factors authentication (2FA), combining RFID/QR code/mobile credential with dynamically generated real-time

PIN code. This dual-layer verification ensures heightened security by requiring both physical credentials and a time-sensitive digital

code for access.

●  Administrators can remotely and centrally manage cross-regional access permissions for multiple enterprises via the management system.

Access rights are assigned based on user roles and designated zones, ensuring personnel can only enter areas relevant to their

responsibilities.

●  The system enables time-restricted access, allowing authorization only during predefined hours (e.g., exclusively for nighttime

maintenance). This automated approach minimizes manual permission management while maintaining rigorous access control."

Our role-based access system minimizes human error and prevents misuse by automatically restricting each user's access - both by location 

and time - to only what their role requires.

Real-time Monitoring and Tamper Alarm

Lack of real-time monitoring capabilities and delayed incident response mechanisms can lead to security failure and inefficient administration.

●  With wire and wireless TCP/IP, Wi-Fi and 4G, CT9 terminal support online HTTP/HTTPs communicaiton protocol to work with remote cloud

management software for real-time data transmission. Administrators are able to remotely control door lock and simultaneously monitor

access status in real-time on cloud-based management systems.

●  CT9 supports multiple alarm outputs that trigger instantaneously upon system detection of tampering, unauthorized access attempts,

door-forced-open events or improper door closure ensuring administrators receive real-time notifications for immediate response.

These real-time monitoring systems help administrators maintain full awareness and enable efficient control over operations.

Logs for activity tracking and report generation

Data centers need full comprehensive traceability for all access events and security incidents.

●  The CT9 terminal records every access attempt with details including visitors, access authentications, timestamp and logs the data, with

multiple alert output to enable track the forced entry incidents or invalid access attempts and facilitating report export.

●  Administrators gain full visibility into who entered with what level credentials, when they entered, and how long they stayed, enabling

effective monitoring of entries and documentation for review.

This not only supports attendance analysis for technical staff and visitors, but also enables historical security events tracking reports.

Securing data center access demands more than physical door lock control, it requires intelligent control, encrypted authentication, and 

real-time monitoring. The integrated solution of CT9 terminal and Cidron reader delivers a comprehensive access control system that prevents 

unauthorized entry, enforces  role-based access, provides real-time monitoring, and maintains a detailed audit trail of every movement for 

reporting.
