Borealis Release Notes - December 2023


Automation Rules

Borealis now supports Automation Rules for NXT-MSC and True Mercury hardware types. Automation Rules offers a vastly comprehensive array of custom automation actions that allow you to create extended functionality far beyond the default functionality of the controller.


Support for Authentic Mercury

Borealis now fully supports authentic Mercury hardware on our cloud solution. This includes the LP and the legacy EP series controllers and associated modules (single-door modules, dual-door modules plus input and output modules). OSDP readers can also be used with many Authentic Mercury controllers.


Detailed Door Status Information

Borealis now provides detailed door status information for all controller types, which is updated in real-time. The readers screen in the user interface will immediately display if a door if forced or held open, opened or closed as well as the current operating mode of the reader (Card-Only, Card + PIN, Lockout or Lockdown), for example.


Enhanced Hub Password Protection

The cardholder and credential enrollment workflow has been improved with an enrollment wizard.


Enhanced Notifications

Borealis will now post important notifications directly to the admin client so that system users will be kept informed about important information, such as: downtime due to system maintenance, new controller firmware files and upcoming features and enhancements.



And Miscellaneous Bug-Fixes

Miscellaneous bug fixes, technical improvements and user interface enhancements.
