CARDAX (Gallagher access control)

Registered to CARDAX, the building access-control system now sold as Gallagher Command Centre.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA assigned 1072 to "CARDAX" for Charles Oram of Cardax, the New Zealand access-control vendor that became Gallagher Security. In current Gallagher deployments the port carries FTCAPI, the Command Centre API that third-party systems such as video management platforms connect to, so integration guides tell installers to open TCP 1072 on the middleware host. Outside a site running Gallagher or legacy Cardax FT hardware you will effectively never see it.

Do not expose

This is the API into a physical access-control system — doors, cards, alarms. Keep it on the security management VLAN, reachable only from the integration server that needs it.
