Disclosed embodiments provide a configurable electronic credential reader. The electronic credential reader defaults to a first communication mode utilizing a unidirectional communication interface. A bidirectional communication interface is monitored. If data is detected on the bidirectional communication interface, the electronic credential reader switches to a bidirectional communication mode. Circuitry within the electronic credential reader switches between the unidirectional communication interface and bidirectional communication interface such that the same external communication lines are used for both the unidirectional mode and the bidirectional mode.

Electronic credential reader

Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for entry access synchronization. A lock interface module is installed at a premises and is in communication with one or more electronic locks. The lock interface module is in electronic communication with an access management system. Changes in access permissions made from the access management system are quickly propagated to the electronic locks by the lock interface module.

System and method for entry access control using radio frequency communication

Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved access control unit with an asymmetric transmission pattern. A shielded backplate reduces the interior transmission pattern. The secure side transmission pattern is much smaller than the unsecure side transmission pattern, such that a credential located within the secure side area of a building is not likely to trigger the access control unit, thus reducing the risk of an unauthorized access.
