Door Status and Control

doors in the system, and allows controlling
various parameters for each door (unlock a
door, change operating characteristics, etc.)

readers in elevator (lift) cabs. To control an elevator
and/or its associated reader, refer to "Checking Status
or Controlling Elevators".
Permissions/Authorities: This feature can be used by
operators with "Control and Status" permission, when
they log into 'Control & Status' as a user with the
authority to control the specific items.

Viewing the Status of Specific Doors
Use the Grid / Form toolbar-button to select
your preferred view-mode.
Forms view: Details for one door at a time;
Grid View: All defined doors in a list.
Now, select a desired door in the list.
Tip: In 'forms' view, you can select an item at the
bottom of the form, or use the 'Find' and 'Find Next'
buttons (binoculars) to search by name (or 1st few
characters--e.g., nam*).
Then, refer to the selection-descriptions for this
screen while viewing the status topics for the
desired door(s).
Tip: Active status items, and available buttons are
displayed in color. Be sure to dispatch someone to
deal with any conditions that require attention.
Controlling a Specific Reader or Door
To unlock or re-lock a door, or change one of
its operating parameters:
 Select the desired door (forms view: bottom
of the window);
 Then select the desired command from one
of the drop-down lists on the screen.
In 'Grid' view, use the small button to the right of your
desired topic to select a command.
If button(s) are not available, this means you do not
have 'Door Control' authority. If cards are presently
'locked-out', you'll need to reinstate card-access before
unlocking the door. Locking-out cards automatically
causes the door to lock.
Doors can be set to unlock and relock at certain times
and/or in-sync with the arming state for the associated
area. For details, refer to "Areas and Related Settings",
and "Doors, Readers, and Related Settings".
