INTRODUCTION
Introducing B.A.S.I.S.®G – a highly efficient stand-alone lock system that utilizes card reader technology and is driven by software specifically designed for residence halls. B.A.S.I.S.® G, ID cards are encoded with all the information necessary to control door access. The system integrates with virtually any existing database, and allows unsurpassed capabilities in storing and retrieving access activity data. B.A.S.I.S.® G involves no costly wiring, is easy to manage, and offers a broad range of integrated features. In fact, everything about B.A.S.I.S.® G was designed to think ...so you don’t have to. The world of access control has become increasingly complex. This is especially true at campus residence halls. As higher demands are being made for student safety, there is also a greater need for convenience and efficiency for facility managers. The real genius of B.A.S.I.S.® G is in its ability to address both challenges.
B.A.S.I.S.® G utilizes pre-programmed ID cards, the likelihood of unauthorized door access is greatly reduced. And because the lock itself is off-line, individual door access changes can be made quickly and conveniently. Add to this the ease with which B.A.S.I.S.® G integrates into existing systems, and the incredible amount of data that can be tracked and stored. B.A.S.I.S.® G is doing the thinking so you don’t have to.
SOFTWARE FEATURES
- Designed specifically for the residence hall application, addressing the real life needs of daily operations such as lost cards and/or room changes.
- Term-based software allows for batch updating of data, saving significant and valuable time. • Dynamically integrates with most existing university databases with real-time information updates, eliminating the tedious process of re-entering student data.
- Multiple locations can be networked to conveniently access a single database.
- Expiration date on cards prevents students from returning to their rooms after the semester has expired.
- Complete history of access activity can easily be obtained.
- Automatic backup reduces the risk of losing data.
- B.A.S.I.S.® G (an off-line system) is integrated into BEST’s on-line software, eliminating the inefficiencies of having two separate systems.
HARDWARE FEATURES
- Track Three technology greatly reduces the need to visit individual rooms for access changes. Locks do not have to be re-programmed to handle lost cards or room changes.
- Swipe reader is vandal resistant and can read various size I.D. cards.
- Minimum 65,000 cycles / 2 to 5 year battery life for cylindrical chassis; Minimum 130,000 cycles / 2 to 5 year battery life for mortise chassis.
- Costs are controlled by availability of replacement parts versus having to replace entire unit.
- Local factory-trained technical services are available 24 hours a day to meet any emergency need.
- B.A.S.I.S.® G can allow or record 5,000 users / history, giving unmatched capacity for each residence hall room.
- Available with a smart card reader, allowing for future technological advancements.
- Heavy-duty mechanical platform designed and manufactured for the toughest residence hall applications.
- Key override detection records and documents when a key is used.
- Deadbolt sensing prevents access to unauthorized cards when deadbolt is thrown.
- Interchangeable core mechanical override allows for emergency access.
- B.A.S.I.S.® G hardware is available in trims and most finishes that match BEST’s 9K cylindrical series and 30H mortise series, providing aesthetic continuity.
- Weather-resistant for versatile applications, including doors exposed to inclement conditions.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The B.A.S.I.S.®G System is an electronic access control system that can be programmed to meet your facility’s access control needs. The system is designed to secure your facility by granting specific access rights to authorized people, based on a defined time schedule, for each lock in the system. By tracking events at the locks, the system provides information to help you maintain the security of your facility.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
1. B.A.S.I.S.® Software – Software that lets you define programming settings and the user database for groups of locks, as well as individual locks. The software lets you view and print information about locks at any time. (To order, contact your local Best Access Systems office.)
2. Programming Cable – Programming cable allows you to connect to individual locks. (To order, contact your local Best Access Systems office.)
3. Magnetic Stripe Cards – A credit-card-size card with a magnetic stripe containing information. These cards can be encoded and sent to the user or encoded by the user at their facility. (To order, see page 7.)
4. Magnetic Stripe Card Encoder – The device that “reads”, “writes” and “erases” information on the magnetic-stripe card. This also includes the software that controls the card encoder. Requires a PC & B.A.S.I.S.® software. (To order, see page 8.)
5. Magnetic Stripe Reader – A battery-powered, self-contained reader electronic lock that uses standard magstripe cards. Controls access to door and can be programmed with B.A.S.I.S.® software. (To order, see page 7.)
6. Dual Validation Reader – A battery-powered, self-contained dual validation reader electronic lock that combines standard mag stripe and keypad validation. Controls access to door and can be programmed with B.A.S.I.S.® software.
7. PDA (palm top) – A PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) is a palm top device that connects to a PC to transport programming data from a B.A.S.I.S.® system to the lockset or retrieve history data. The PDA is also a means to provide diagnostic data from the lockset. Software for the palm device is included in the B.A.S.I.S.® software. (Contact your local Best Access Systems office or visit our web site for a recommended device.)
