Re: Out of band management?
> The door security systems that I've worked with ....all have local cache in the door controllers so that they can still allow in cards they've 'seen' recently even if the network connection to the controller is down.
But there's a Pandemic on. Many of these rooms were hardly visited in the best of times. Now in Oct 2021 they may not have been entered since Mar 2020.
Yet normal job-shuffle continues. Bob visited in Feb 2020, the door remembers seeing him, but today Sue is tasked with router touchy-feely and the door has never seen Sue.
Of course Bob loans Sue his card, touching off a firestorm of security violations; or maybe Bob is confined to his house in another state and can't even contact Sue.
Yes yes yes: battery drills and thermite. Or as at my last IT job: stout screwdriver and short hammer were everyday tools. Keys? Dont need no steenin keys.
