The present disclosure describes embodiments of a power-over-ethernet ('POE') controller and an access control system comprising the same. In an embodiment, the access control system includes a POE controller configured to couple with a Fire Access Control Panel of an automated Fire Detection System. The access control system may further include one or more peripheral devices coupled with the POE controller and configured to be powered with electrical power received via an ethernet port of the POE controller. The peripheral devices may include an access device, a door strike, and a digital output device. Embodiments of a kit containing one or more partially or fully assembled components of the access control system are also described.

An improved physical access control system has an online portion and an offline portion. A smartcard is configurable to transport access control information between the online portion and offline portion. The smartcard is further configurable to receive an offline reader identifier from an offline reader, and to control access of the smartcard holder to an offline entry/exit point. The smartcard is further configurable to carry a revoked list that is transmitted to each offline reader accessed. Methods of operating the improved physical access control system are also disclosed.
