The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is compatible with all EntraPass Editions v4.01 and higher:
-EntraPass Special Edition
-EntraPass Corporate Edition with a Corporate Gateway
-EntraPass Global Edition with a Corporate Gateway
-EntraPass Global Edition with a Global Gateway

Multiple Configuration Options
-EntraPass: The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller can be configured with all EntraPass Editions v4.01 and
higher.
-Web Configuration Page: The Web Configuration Page is accessible through any browser. It can be used to verify
and configure the IP settings of the following Kantech devices: the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller, the KTNCC and the Kantech IP Link. Refer to the procedure “Configuring the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller with
the Web Configuration Page” on page 32 for further details.

Four Onboard doors
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is a full 4 onboard doors access controller. See Figure 1 for a description of
the PCB and Figure 2 for all the connection possibilities offered by the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.
Communication Ports
•1 10/100Base-T Ethernet for network connection with the EntraPass Gateway
•1 RS-232 (COM3) for direct connection to the EntraPass Gateway and RS-485 communication with KT-100, KT-200,
KT-300 and KT-400
•1 RS-485 (COM1) for RS-485 communication between the EntraPass Gateway and the KT-100, KT-200, KT-300 and
KT-400
•1 SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) port for expansion modules such as the KT-MOD-REL8 (8-Relay Outputs), the KTMOD-INP16 (16-Input) and the KT-MOD-OUT16 (16-Output)
IP Connectivity
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller, when used with EntraPass Special Edition or a Corporate Gateway, can
report events, gather its configuration through an IP connection over the LAN (Local Area Network) and over the Internet
for a WAN (Wide Area Network). In this mode, the 1st or local controller becomes a “Master Controller” and can poll up
to 31 Kantech controller(s). The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is compatible with all the controllers. Unlike the
other controllers, the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller asynchronously polls the controllers (KT-100, KT-200, KT-
300) and communicates with the EntraPass Gateway only when necessary. This significantly reduces the amount of
bandwidth required to operate your security system on the network.
•AES Encryption 128-Bit: The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller is extremely secure. It uses 128-bit AES
encryption to communicate with the Gateway which prev ents any hacking from the internet and ensures secure
communications when used over the internet on a wide area network (WAN).

Inputs
There are 16 onboard inputs on the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller. Up to 240 more can be added through the
addition of expansion modules, such as the KT-MOD-INP16, for a total of 256 inputs. Each input can be individually
configured for one of the following application:
•Door contact (4 onboard)
•T.Rex (Request to Exit Detector) (4 onboard)
•Interlock (4 onboard)
•Floor Selection for Elevator Application
•Elevator Action
•External Alarm System Status (Armed / Disarmed)
•External Alarm System Alarm (Alarm / Secure)
•External Alarm System Zones
•Relays to trigger on each input in alarm event
•Zone shunt: Single or group of zones can be permanently or temporaril y 'shunted' to a secure state on the same
controller. Shunt method includes:
-Zone Shunt by another Zone - When a zone in alarm is programmed to shunt another zone / group of zones.
-Zone Shunt on Unlock - When a zone is temporarily frozen to its actual state (alarm or secured) after an access
granted.
-Manual Shunt - Operator can manually 'Shunt' a zone to a secure state.
-Disarmed Door Shunt - When alarm system is disarmed, some zones may be 'Shunted' to a secure state.
-Entry / Exit Delay Shunt - When a user is in the process of disarming / arming the alarm system and entry / exit
delay prevails, some zones may be 'Shunted' to a secure state.
•Arming / Disarming Request
•Postpone Arming Request
•Tamper switch input: The tamper switch is a non-programmable 'Fixed-Function' input. It is used to identify tampering of
the KT-400 cabinet.
Lock Outputs
There are 4 onboard lock outputs and they are supervised. The locking function can also be performed by any onboard
relay configured for this functionality.
Relay Outputs
There are 4 onboard relay outputs. Up to 256 relay output s can be supported th rough th e addition of exp ansion modul es
such as the KT-MOD-REL8.
Reader Outputs
There are 4 different possible outputs for each of the 4 onboard reader inte rfaces for a tot al of 16 programmable output s.
Reader outputs are used to give user visual and/or audible feedback on the ongoing access events.
Reader Interfaces
There are 4 onboard reader interfaces. They can be programmed for Wiegand or ABA (Clock and Data) readers.
Elevator Interface
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller supports elevator interfacing with the addition of expansion modules such as
the KT-MOD-REL8, KT-MOD-INP16 and KT-MOD-OUT16.
Alarm Panel Interface
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller supports alarm panel interfacing with the appropriate connections made
between zone inputs, relay outputs and the alarm system panel.
Automatic Port Detection
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-D oor Contro ller automatica lly detects the site communication speed set by EntraPass as well
as the communication port which can be IP (ETHERNET #1), RS-485 (COM1) or RS-232 (COM3).
The firmware program can be downloaded from any EntraPass workstation to the KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.
The firmware program, stored in the controller’s flash memory, is upgraded without having to change any parts.
Trouble and Reporting
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller constantly supervises ac power and battery condition and reports “AC Lost”,
“Normal Battery”, “Low Battery”, “Battery Critical” or “No Battery”, status to the EntraPass system. Power outputs are
supervised and electronically protected against short-circuits and surges. Locking devices are also supervised for short
and open circuits.
Visual Status Indicators (LEDs)
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller has multiple status indicators such as for troubleshooting, network activity,
power status and outputs activity. See Figure 1 for their locations.
-VITAL or Heartbea t: The VITAL blue LED indicates the communication status with EntraPass or the IP mode of the
controller. Refer to Table 1 for a descriptions of the heartbeat patterns.
-SPI Active (YELLOW): This LED signals activity on the SPI expansion port as well as communication between the
main CPU and the input/output CPU.
-COM1-RX, COM1-TX, COM2-RX, COM2-TX, RS232-RX and RS232-TX (YELLOW): The six serial port LEDs are
transmit/receive activity indicators. The COM2-RX and COM2-TX LEDs are for future use.
-LOCK1, LOCK2, LOCK3 and LOCK4 (RED): Each lock output (Open Drain) has an indicator which turns on each
time the corresponding output is activated.
-RELAY1, RELAY2, RELAY3 and RELAY4 (RED): Each relay output has an indicator which turns on each time the
corresponding relay is activated.
-AC PWR and DC PWR (GREEN): Theses LEDs are on when AC and DC power are present at the AC and/or DC
power input terminals.
-ETH1 LINK (GREEN): The LED is OFF when there is no Ethernet network or the cable is disconnected, and ON
when there is an Ethernet cable and network connection.
-ETH1 TXRX (YELLOW): The LED indicates network activity.
Built-in SPI Expansion
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller allows connection of expansion modules in order to add outputs, like relays
and open drain outputs, and inputs. See Figure 10 and Figure 11 for an example with expansion modules.
-KT-MOD-REL8: The KT-MOD-REL8 is an 8-relay expansion module. Each relay is 3 Amps, 30 VDC Form C. The
module supports daisy-chaining which can add up to 32 KT-MOD-REL8 modules for a total of 256 relay outputs per
KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.
-KT-MOD-INP16: The KT-MOD-INP16 is a 16-zone input expansion module. The module supports daisy-chaining
which can add up to 15 KT-MOD-INP16 for a total of 240 external inputs per KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.
The KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller has 16 onboard inputs which gives a total of 256 inputs per controller.
-KT-MOD-OUT16: The KT-MOD-OUT16 is a 16-output expansion module. Each output is capable of 750 mA. It
gives the opportunity to address the need for external LED, lock, relay, piezo and buzzer control. The module
supports daisy-chaining which can add up to 16 KT-MOD-OUT16 modules for a total of 256 external open drain
outputs per KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller.
Note: The expansion modules support daisy chaining which can add up to 32 KT-MOD-REL8 modules for a total of 256
external relays per KT-400 Ethernet Four-Door Controller. Combining input and output expansion modules gives the
flexibility to connect up to 256 inputs and 256 outputs.
