Also known as: KT400, KW-KT400, KAN-KT400

The Kantech KT-400 is an Ethernet-ready four-door controller that provides 128-bit AES encrypted communication with the EntraPass system and is a highly secure solution for any security-conscious business.

The KT-400 can easily be integrated into an existing EntraPass system with other Kantech controllers (KT-100 and KT-300) or can provide the foundation for a brand new security installation. With an onboard Ethernet port, an external IP device is no longer required to connect to the network. The onboard port is dual-sensing, which means the system senses whether the connection is 10Base-T or 100Base-T, and adjusts automatically for faster connectivity.

KT-400 manages network polling and communicates with the EntraPass Gateway only when an event has occurred. Communication integrity is ensured through a heartbeat signal which is sent at regular intervals to the EntraPass system. This asynchronous communication significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth required to manage the access control system over the network.

Entrepass is the software used with the KT-400. To download the Entrepass software: Click the Options tab and then from the menu click Registration. 2. Select EntraPass Web from the list box and then click the Click here to install component button. The lastet version of Entrepass is version 8.30, which features additional support for Tyco DSC PowerSeries intrusion alarm panels, including a fully functional virtual keypad, enhanced support for EntraPass web macOS functionality, cybersecurity updates and other optimizations for a more streamlined user experience.

EntraPass is a robust suite of high performance software that allows customers to design & operate any number of doors where card access is required - securely, quickly & efficiently. EntraPass is compatible with Kantech's entire line of door controllers.

EntraPass Card Gateway Option is an external interface where the customer will be able to make additions, modifications and deletions to the card database through Oracle or MS-SQL tables.

To upgrade to the latest version of EntraPass, complete the following steps: 1. Run the Setup application for the latest version of EntraPass Corporate or Global Edition. 2. In the Setup Start window, click Update installed applications

EntraPass Special Edition is security management software for a single workstation with the ability to control a single door with the KT-1, up to 128 doors with KT-100/KT-300 and up to 256 doors with KT-400 door controllers. The software is comprehensive and menu-driven. It is easy to learn and operate.

Entrapass web uses the following ports: TCP Port: 18802 for Corporate Gateway. UDP Ports: 18801 and 18001 for Corporate Gateway and 18810 at remote site (IP Link)
