The present disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for controlling access to a controlled area. The method may comprise receiving a card identification signal in an access card controller through an access card reader associated with an entrance to the enclosed area, and then authenticating the card identification signal. The method may then comprise sending an unlock signal through a solid state relay to unlock a door at the entrance to the enclosed area associated with the access card reader when the card identification signal has been successfully authenticated.

The method of claim 1, wherein the access card reader/controller is powered via a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interface. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining an operational mode of the access card reader/controller, the operational modes including a standalone mode and a network mode; and wherein authenticating the card identification signal comprises one of authenticating by transmitting the card identification signal to an access control server when the access card reader/controller is determined to be operating in the network mode, andauthenticating by comparing the card identification signal against entries of one or more internal tables stored in the access card reader/controller when the access card reader/controller is determined to be operating in the standalone mode; and whereinthe access card reader/controller serves, from the access card reader/controller, configuration data that can be displayed by a device external to the access card reader/controller. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the solid state relay comprises a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the solid state relay is externally biased. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the solid state relay switches power to a lock from a power source external to the access card reader/controller. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the unlock signal is sent through both a mechanical relay and a solid state relay. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the solid state relay is a high-side switch solid state relay. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the unlock signal is sent through the solid state relay via a direct current power source. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the direct current power source is Power over Ethernet (PoE). 11. An access control device for controlling access to an enclosed area, the access control device comprising: a communication module configured to receive a card identification signal;a local input/output module configured to send an unlock signal to power a lock external to the access control device to unlock a door at an entrance to the enclosed area when the card identification signal has been successfully authenticated; anda solid state relay within the access control device through which the unlock signal is sent. 12. The access control device of claim 11, wherein at least a portion of the access control system is powered over a Power-over-Ethernet interface. 13.
