Linear / NICE EP-736 EntryPro 7" Touch Screen, 36 Door Telephone Entry & Access Control System
The Linear / NICE EP-736 EntryPro is a multi-door telephone entry and access-control system built for larger gated communities, apartment properties, condominiums, commercial sites, and multi-tenant facilities. It uses a 7 inch color touch screen interface to help residents, visitors, and property staff manage entry at gates and doors while giving the site administrator a scalable access-control platform.
Unlike a basic keypad or single-door telephone entry panel, the EP-736 is designed around a networked EntryPro system. It is commonly listed as a 36-door system with support for 72 readers and expansion capability up to 64 doors and 128 readers when the proper EntryPro expansion nodes and related hardware are used. This makes it a better fit for properties that need telephone entry, card/fob access, transmitter access, event records, and multiple controlled openings under one system.
The EP-736 is typically used at vehicle gates, pedestrian entries, clubhouse doors, building entries, and other controlled access points where visitor calling and credential access are both needed. Correct system planning is important. Door count, reader count, expansion hardware, network/telephone service, VoIP adapter use, mounting location, power, and enclosure requirements should all be reviewed before ordering.

Technician Note
For EntryPro installations, plan the entire system before replacing or adding equipment. Confirm whether the site needs telephone line or VoIP support, which readers are used, how many doors are controlled, whether expansion nodes are already installed, and whether the existing database or network configuration must be migrated.

- Confirm the system uses Linear / NICE EntryPro hardware

Professional Advisory
Large telephone entry and access-control systems should be specified and installed by an access-control professional. Do not use access-control programming to bypass required gate safety devices, fire access requirements, or local code requirements.
