This section lists the settings found in Door configuration tabs, in the Area
view task.
Door - Properties tab
In the
Properties tab, you can configure the general behavior of the door. Some of
the behaviors are not supported by all types of access control units. If the configured
behavior is not supported by the selected access control unit, a yellow warning appears on
the page, explaining why your configuration is not valid.
Unlocked for maintenance:
Set to
ON if the door is unlocked, and possibly open for
maintenance purposes. While the door is in maintenance mode it remains unlocked, and
no events are generated except for the
Door offline: Device is offline event. The
maintenance mode icon (
) is
also displayed on the door icon in maps.
Standard grant time:
Amount of time the door is unlocked after an Access granted event is generated.
Extended grant time:
For cardholders with the property “extended grant time” turned on, the amount of
time the door is unlocked after access is granted.
Standard entry time:
Amount of time the cardholder has to cross the entry sensor, in addition to the
Standard grant time. If no entry is detected during this time, a
No entry detected event is generated. This option
is only supported when your door is configured with an entry sensor. If no entry
sensor is configured, entry is assumed when the door opens. If no door sensor is
configured, entry is assumed when an access is granted.
For example, if the
Standard grant time is 5 seconds, and the Entry time is 3 seconds,
the cardholder has a total of 8 seconds to trigger the entry sensor of the
door.
Extended entry time:
For cardholders with the property ‘extended grant time’ turned on, the amount of
time the cardholder has to cross the entry sensor, in addition to the Extended grant
time. If no entry is detected during this time, a
No entry detected event is generated. This option
is only supported when your door is configured with an entry sensor. If no entry
sensor is configured, entry is assumed when the door opens. If no door sensor is
configured, entry is assumed when an access is granted.
For example, if the
Extended grant time is 10 seconds, and the Extended crossing time is
10 seconds, the cardholder has a total of 20 seconds to cross the entry sensor of
the door.
Door relock:
Specifies when to re-lock the door after an access has been granted.
On close:
Relocks when the door closes.
NOTE: This option is not supported by HID
units.
Delay after opening:
Relocks after the specified delay after the door has been opened.
NOTE: For HID
units, the maximum delay is 27 minutes.
When door is unlocked by schedule:
Select the events you want to suppress when the door is unlocked by schedule.
- Door open too long events
- Access granted and Access
denied events
Door held:
What to do when the door is held open.
Trigger event:
Set to ON if the Door open too long event must be generated
after the specified duration.
Reader buzzer behavior:
Set to either Suppressed to never sound the buzzer, or
to Suppressed when door closes to silence the buzzer as
soon as the door closes.
Door forced:
What to do when the door is forced.
Trigger event:
Set to ON if the Door forced open event must be
generated.
Reader buzzer behavior:
Set to either Suppressed to never sound the buzzer, to
Suppressed when door closes to stop the buzzer as soon
as the door closes, or to Suppressed on access granted
stop the buzzer when an access is granted, or when the door is manually
locked.
Request to exit (REX):
The options in this section are generally used to decrease the number of false
Request to exit events at a door.
Time to ignore REX after granted access:
Ignore any requests to exits for this long after access has been granted.
Unlock on REX:
Set to
ON if a REX is being used, and you want to
automatically grant access to all requests to exit.
NOTE: Security
Center does not receive REX events
if the access control unit is connected to the Access Manager. However, the
REX events are received when the unit is offline and then connects back to the
Access Manager.
Ignore REX events while door is open:
Do not generate REX events when door is open.
Time to ignore REX after door closes:
Once the door has closed, wait this long before generating any more REX
events.
NOTE: HID controllers do not support this feature.
Visitor escort rule and two-person rule:
Settings common to the visitor escort and the two-person rule restrictions.
Enforce two-person rule:
Set to ON if two cardholders must present their
credentials within a certain delay of each other in order to gain access. This
rule can be enforced only on one door side or both.
Maximum delay between card presentations:
Maximum delay allowed between the two card presentations to satisfy the
visitor escort rule and the two-person rule restrictions.
Door - Hardware tab
In the
Hardware tab, you can configure the physical wiring relationships between the
access control unit and the door, and associate cameras to door sides.
Preferred unit:
Access control unit that is connected to the door.
Preferred interface:
Interface module that is connected to the door.
Door side:
Readers, REX’s, entry sensors, and cameras associated with the door side, that match
the physical wiring done on the controller and the door.
The available reader settings are:
PIN entry timeout:
This sets the entry timeout for the PIN after the card has been read. For example, at
the default (5 seconds), you have 5 seconds to enter all the PIN digits.
Use card and PIN:
Set to ON to change the reader mode to Card and PIN and use the
Schedule drop-down list to select when this mode applies. When
not in a scheduled time period, the reader behaves in Card only mode.
Additional connections:
Other physical connections associated with the controller and the door.
Door - Access rules tab
In the
Access rules tab, you can view the access rules applied to this door.
Door access applies to:
Which door sides the access rules apply to.
Both sides:
Apply the same access rules to both door sides.
Individual sides:
Apply individual access rules to each door side.
Access rights for door (side):
Define who has access to this door (or door side).
Access rules:
Add access rules to grant (or deny) access to the door to cardholders and
cardholder groups based on a schedule. This is the recommended approach.
Cardholders, cardholder groups:
Add cardholders and cardholder groups to grant them access to the area at all
times. Only use this approach for temporary situations.
NOTE: If all perimeter
doors of an area share the same access rules, define those rules at the area
level.
Door - Unlock schedules tab
In the
Unlock schedules tab, you can configure scheduled periods when the door is
not used for secured access, and no access rules are in effect.
Unlock schedules (free access):
Periods when the door is unlocked, and no access rules are in effect.
Exceptions to unlock schedules (controlled access):
Periods when the door is locked, and access rules apply.
