Architecture

One login, every location

  1. Controllers at each location. DSX-1022 and DSX-1040 controllers run your doors and readers on site.
  2. A DSX-Cloud Adapter per location. Installed on the Master Controller, it bridges the panel to the internet.
  3. Managed from DSXCloud.net. Operators manage all locations from any browser, on any device.
DSX-Cloud architecture: six locations with DSX-1022 and DSX-1040 controllers, each connected through a DSX-Cloud Adapter to the internet and managed from a laptop

The bridge between your panel and the cloud

The DSX-Cloud Adapter provides internet communications between DSXCloud.net and the Master Controller, passing that communication directly to the Master Controller via RS-232/485.

Security includes Admin and User passwords of 6–19 characters with user-definable complexity. The User password can change network settings; the Admin password can change network and security settings.

It's designed to fit in the same equipment cabinet as DSX-1048 and DSX-1022 controllers, mounting inside or resting in the bottom of the enclosure, with three mounting holes and removable terminal blocks.
