The following document lists the updates that have been included in the August 2024 release of Borealis.

1.0 KB Controller Release

The August release of Borealis includes the new, entry-level, cost-effective KB 2 door and 4 door controllers. This controller type includes all the essential access control functionality that you would expect, as well as advanced features, such as: Card + PIN (when using keypads), Lockout and Lockdown reader modes and I/O control (when using NXT 4x4 modules). The KB controllers can co-exist on the same site as Standard NXT controllers and can communicate with the same hub. Standard NXT controllers can also be replaced with KB controllers.

Note: The KB controller type can only be used in Borealis.
