How does CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Access Control technology work?


The CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Solution requires no modification or replacement of the PACS. All CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Modules are managed by a CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Management Station that provides centralized control of assurance level settings and distribution of validation data such as card revocations and trusted issuers.

The CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Module validates cards according to the assurance level setting, extracts the badge ID from data on the card, and then passes the badge ID to the PACS panel for an access decision. For invalid cards, the CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Module is configurable to send a preset badge ID to the PACS panel and/or close an output relay. Cardholder data is captured automatically the first time a card is presented to any F5 supported reader for validation and then stored and distributed to all other CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Modules by the CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Management Station. This feature allows traditional enrollment of cardholders using existing PACS enrollment functionality, integration with an identity management system (IDMS) or card management system (CMS), or use of a third party enrollment package such as visitor software or the CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Enroller.
