Web Link Web Link permits authorized persons to perform card administration, order cards, display activity and authorize visitors via Kastle’s secure website 24/7. Web Link provides convenience and efficiency, while improving timeliness and enhancing data integrity. Image Link Image Link is positive photographic identification of a Kastle cardholder by means of (a) a digital image that appears on an on-site terminal when a Kastle card is used at an Image Link reader, (b) an image imprinted on a Kastle card or (c) the combination of both. Through increased accountability, Image Link improves the integrity of an access control system. Elevator Link Elevator Link is a card reader control system for elevators. From basic access control to floor control systems with unlimited combinations of restricted floors and secure times. Elevator Link satisfies a full range of operational needs. A cardholder uses a proximity reader to access the necessary elevator or floor. A visitor to the building uses the hotline telephone in the elevator to reach a Kastle operator, who views information and customized instructions from the Kastle-maintained database to process the visitor through the elevator system. HVAC Link HVAC Link is a convenient means for an authorized Kastle cardholder to turn on the after-hours air conditioning remotely by using a telephone keypad to enter the authorized Kastle card number. HVAC Link provides a comfortable environment when the cardholder arrives at the office and an accurate, overtime usage report from Kastle’s central database for building management’s use. HR Link HR Link is a substitute for some human resources databases. Through Web Link, the tenant, for no extra charge, may use up to 40 of Kastle’s 45 available card database fields to store associated human resources data such as telephone numbers, license plate numbers, hire and review dates, or departmental information. HR Link can also be a connection between Kastle’s central database and a company’s human resource database. With a single entry, relevant data is recorded in both locations – improving accuracy, efficiency and productivity. Tenant Link Tenant Link is an intrusion detection system that provides security at the tenant’s suite. The foundation of the Tenant Link suite security system is a group of sensors installed at all perimeter entrances to the tenant’s suite and an audible alarm sounder in the elevator lobby for local signaling of intrusion. A Tenant Link system controlled by a proximity reader provides the greatest accountability, flexibility and convenience, and may be integrated with a building’s Entry Link system to allow one card access to both building and tenant space. To enter controlled space, a cardholder presents a card at the associated reader. Authorized cards will unlock the controlled door and grant alarm-free access. Tenant Link solves the problems associated with knowing who is first to arrive in the morning and last to leave in the evening, and provides seamless integration with cleaning crews. Anywhere Link Anywhere Link is the ability for authorized Kastle cardholders to use a single card in readers in multiple locations anywhere in the United States and Australia. Persons traveling between buildings and cities need carry only one Kastle card for convenient access to all facilities. Global Link Global Link is the unique menu of tools that integrates multiple building and tenant services through a single database, accessible with a single card. One database drives all applications. One card links them all to that database. One source - Kastle Systems – the only source that can provide all of the applications with one card, one database. Emergency Link Emergency Link enables buildings to lock down immediately, restricting building access for visitors and/or cardholders during emergencies or escalations in Homeland Security levels. Building management can lock down onsite or by contacting Kastle to lock down remotely. For status information, tenants are directed via e-mail to Kastle’s web site, where property managers can post updates. Monitor Link Monitor Link is 24-hour central station monitoring of alarms from fire, life safety and other critical mechanical systems. Monitored conditions may include temperature, smoke, heat, flood, water and airflow, as well as equipment failure. Monitor Link eliminates the need for on-site monitoring of mechanical systems and functions. Monitor Link may also include a push-button activated duress notification system. Useful in cash management areas, parking facilities, health clubs and isolated areas, Monitor Link systems summon emergency assistance. Directory Link Directory Link is a touchscreen building lobby directory system integrated with Kastle’s central database. As tenants are added to or deleted from the building’s access control database, the lobby directory system is updated automatically to reflect the most current and accurate information on the building’s occupants. The inefficiencies of maintaining a separate database and updating standalone directories are eliminated. Visitor Link Visitor Link is a connection between an on-site terminal and the Kastle central database. It permits on-site security staff to process visitors by viewing information and customized instructions maintained in the Kastle central database. The same on-site terminal can operate in conjunction with Image Link and provide pictures even while it is in the Visitor Link mode. Entry Link Entry Link controls access to an office building. Through a combination of readers, electric locks and hotline telephones, all access points are controlled and monitored simultaneously from Kastle’s remote operations center. Tenants use an entry reader to unlock the building door and gain access. Couriers, delivery services, contractors and other building visitors use the hotline telephone to reach the Kastle operator, who views information and customized instructions from the Kastle-maintained database to process their admittance. Entry Link meets management, tenant and visitor needs without requiring an on-site presence, but can also integrate seamlessly with an on-site security guard, allowing greater flexibility, responsiveness and range of movement throughout the building. Audio Link Audio Link is the ability for building owners and managers to retrieve and play back the digitally recorded calls to Kastle’s remote operations center from hotline and emergency phones. Convenient, direct access to transactions between persons at the building and the Kastle operator is available for the preceding 30 day period.

This eliminates the necessity for on-site video recording and monitoring equipment. Parking Link Parking Link controls vehicle access to and from a parking facility. Kastle’s Parking Link offers the ease of single card access to the building and its contract parking area. Multiple authorization levels make contract parking easier to administer. Visitors may be admitted via hotline telephones to Kastle’s remote operations center or an on-site parking administrator’s office.
Check-In Link Check-In Link is an Internet-based employee status board. Check-In Link provides company-wide access to information on a cardholder’s whereabouts and improves efficiency and coordination within the organization. Certain readers are designated as IN or OUT; use of these readers when entering or exiting the office cause listed employees to be checked IN or OUT on the computerized status board. Users may also check IN or OUT manually or enter information directly on the Check-In Link. |
