Next-generation AM3Plus, AE1000Plus and AE2000Plus Now Available with Enhanced Feature Set and Programming Flexibility
CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 26 / -- Linear LLC, an innovator in telephone entry, access control, gate operator and radio control products, today announced that its AM/II, AE-1 and AE-2, which have been serving access control market needs since 1996, will be discontinued because their key components are no longer available. Linear has notified its market partners of this change and assured them that Linear will continue to support replacement of the AM/II and internal components of the AE-1 and AE-2 for approximately seven years, depending upon availability.
For new installations, Linear recommends using its next generation of telephone entry and access control products, the Plus series; AM3Plus, AE1000Plus and AE2000Plus. Most dealers, installers and distributors are already familiar with Linear's Plus products and have installed them for past four years because they appreciate their enhanced feature set, including:
o Programming flexibility using the local keypad, a dedicated PC, or any PC; o Generous user and credential capacity; o Telephone Entry Systems and Access Controllers that are both networkable and expandable to 64 panels; o Easier data entry including the ability to add single- or block-coded credentials; o A 33.6Kbps speed modem; and o Support for multiple door peripheral connections.
Some installers may consider upgrading AM/II-, AE-1- and AE-2-based installations with like Plus products. In such cases, Linear's AccessBase2000 software for the Plus products allows database conversion when all units within the network are upgraded with Plus products.
The following table provides a general guideline to help installers and dealers select the appropriate Plus products for future installations:
