We use Best/Stanley. The doors themselves are analog wired. There are building "panel
controllers" which connect to the network and can be downloaded (or they download, not
sure which way it works exactly) lists of access codes for the associated doors. If
they lose contact on the network and cannot phone home, they keep their current status
for a period of time, then fail-safe to whatever mode you program (open or closed).
