Individual Sentinel controllers can be connected together to form a mini-network, without the need for a PC. User card information programmed into any controller is immediately updated to all other Sentinel controllers on the mini-network, ensuring synchronisation throughout. Developing a min-network does not limit the control and reporting options available to individual Sentinel controllers; indeed the remote dial-up and PC based management software options ensure that central station monitoring and remote system control serve to increase the value added opportunities of Sentinel.

Sentinel allows users to programme tokens for individual doors or groups of doors, even in a network. The door group programming is simple and easy to implement, further establishing Sentinel as the system of choice where flexibility and ease of use are important.

Sentinel can be programmed via the password protected controller keypad. Cards may be added or deleted via the keypad or directly at a reader, using a Master card. In every event the 4 digit LED display provided in each Sentinel gives a clear, concise indication of controller programme and operational status.
