Abstract (en)

Method for upgrading an existing access control system. The existing access control system comprises at least one access point which is controlled by a reader unit (1) for reading authorization information from a portable token (6) and a corresponding unlocking device (3), the reader unit (1) is in wired connection via at least one 1st control line (4) communicatively connected to an access controller (2), and said access controller (2) is in wired connection via at least one 2nd control line (5) communicatively connected to said unlocking device (3). The said access controller (2) controls the locking state of said unlocking device (3) via said 2nd control line (5) by verifying identification information transmitted via 1st control line (4) from said reader unit (1). The upgrading method comprises the steps of interposing into the at least one 1st control line (4) an interception unit (9), said interception unit (9) adapted to and allowing for receiving and, if needed after temporarily withholding said identification information from said reader unit (1), only transmitting it to the access control unit (2) once said interception unit (9) has verified permission to access independently via a 2nd communication with a holder of said token (6).
