Components

Icon	Description
Orion Server	The core responsibility of the Orion Server is to identify which user is attempting to access a door, and pass that identification on to the Access Control Server. In support of this, it receives information on users from the Access Control Server and Enrollment Service. It has no user interface; it is commissioned and managed via the Orion Console.
Orion Enrollment Service	Allows users to upload a picture of themselves that will be used for facial recognition. Users are invited to use the enrollment service when their details are entered into the Access Control System.
Orion Device	The combination of Orion C, Orion CU, and the supplied cable that connects them.
Orion Console	A management application for installing, monitoring, operating and decommissioning Orion sites and servers. The Console is accessible on mobile and desktop computers via a web browser. The last 4 versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Android Browser, and iOS Browser are supported. The Console is multi-language, the current language button on the left menu. Support languages are English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Arabic.
Orion Connect	A set of hosted services that provide the infrastructure to support the deployment and maintenance of Orion Servers. Connect is based within Microsoft Azure and maintained by Salto. Orion Connect is regionalised, so that personal data does not leave the region in which the site is based. No biometric or personal information is stored within, or passed through, Orion Connect. The Orion Server consists of hardware supplied by the customer and software supplied by Salto. It is the responsibility of the customer to maintain it and keep the data backed-up.
Access Control System	The software platform (for example, Salto Space) used to control which users are able to access which doors.
