Management Control Access

Controller 6000 C300100

The Gallagher Controller 6000 enforces business rules, monitors the environment, communicates with other integrated systems,
and makes offline access decisions.

The Gallagher Controller 6000 (C6000) is the interface between the Gallagher Command Centre Server and distributed field
hardware. The C6000 is capable of processing, storing, and communicating data in real time when the Gallagher Command Centre
Server is offline. The Controller 6000’s straight forward system architecture provides powerful and flexible configuration options.

• Sends and receives events from third party systems within the
C6000 using the Gallagher Controller Application Programming
Interface (API)
• Supports high level interfaces for elevator access control
• Supports the Gallagher T20 Terminal for management and
operation of intruder alarm functions and Gallagher Perimeter
Security Fence Controllers for integrated perimeter security.
• Supports alarm management and remote alarms transmission via
• Has two RS485 connections, which may be individually multiple mediums:
configured to support HBUS, GBUS, SensorBUS or AperioTM • LAN/WAN networks using TCP/IP protocol
communications
• Cellular networks, via cellular modem
• Provides connectivity to the 4H & 8H HBUS device modules as
• PSTN Alarms, via Gallagher Dialer
well as 4R & 8R reader modules

for securely loading software into the Controller

Controller 6000 HS (High Spec) C300101

The Controller 6000 High Spec retains all of the functionality of the standard C6000
while providing additional features such as:
• Automated high and low temperature shutdown in extreme temperatures
• Dual ethernet ports for ethernet link redundancy
• Support for 10MB/100MB/1GB Ethernet network communications
• Dedicated encryption chip for ultra-secure encryption key storage
• Hardware watchdog relay for additional Controller system responsiveness

Controller 6000 PIV (Personal Identity Verification) C305101

The Controller 6000 PIV meets and complies with Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) 201-2.

While offering all of the benefits of the Controller 6000 High Spec, the Controller 6000 PIV
is also capable of performing contactless PIV smart card authentication checks. It natively
enforces the revocation status of PIV smart card certificates, and performs cardholder
specific access control decisions without the need for constant server connectivity.

4R and 8R Modules
Gallagher 4R or 8R modules accept connectivity via the
Wiegand protocol (AND Cardax IV) from devices
communicating with this protocol. The 8R reader module
clips into the Controller 6000 to provide connectivity for:

• Up to 8 Gallagher readers (Cardax IV), or up to

4 Wiegand readers

• Monitoring of 24 inputs

• 8 relay outputs
