Many installers of Kantech access control solutions will be pleased to see that EntraPass 7.10 extends the advantages of the EntraPass Go Install app to installation engineers who use Android devices. They can now configure Kantech door controllers with just one touch on a mobile device.

The app provides a wizard driven commissioning process that helps ensure that no device has been left un-commissioned. It also allows installers to store pictures and notes which will help with subsequent visits.
