21-0381E v4.9.1 Welcome Report Control Admin Sys Config Tech-Ref 3
If the door is unlocked, access is not controlled (simply
open the door to enter the area). Conversely, if the
door is locked, and all cards are presently 'locked out',
users will be unable to enter.
Card Number: As an alternative to the user ID number
(UID), and/or access cards, the system can be set for
entry and login using the card number instead (4-10
digits).
Visitors that must be Escorted: Persons with a card set
as "Visitor (Escort-Required)" must be escorted at each
controlled reader (valid escort or regular cardholder--
depending on the system settings).
To enter at a controlled door and disarm the area, an
entry delay must be in effect. As well, only the users
with authority to both enter the door at this time AND
disarm the area will be granted entry.
The 'ID + PIN' or 'PIN Only' login requirement is
determined by the 'Feature-Set' selection for the
account.
Dual Custody (and Escort mode) is supported at
individual readers as well.
Using an Arming Station: Additional features
and entry options are provided through an
arming station. These units are essentially a
proximity reader with keypad, plus additional
status indicators and features. For details on
using an arming station, please refer to the xL
(panel/keypad) User's Guide.
Readers set to Enable or Disable Cards:
Some readers may be set to enable or disable
specific types of cards (such as visitor cards,
or all temporary cards, etc.)--with or without an
associated door being unlocked at this time.
All other (valid) cards will be granted access as
usual.
Note: Cards can either be disabled permanently, or
allowed to be re-enabled later.
To Enter using a Door-Opener Button: Use
your access card and/or PIN to unlock the door
(and activate the button). Then, simply press
and release the door-opener button. Once
inside the area, 'log' in at an LCD keypad, and
disarm the area if required (i.e., if NOT set for
"Auto-Disarm on Valid Token").
If You are Being Forced to Enter: With
Card+PIN mode in effect, you can trigger a
'Duress' alarm by reversing the last 2-digits of
your personal ID number (PIN). This can also
be done when 'logging' into an LCD keypad.
To Exit Using an RTE (REX) Button: Simply
press and briefly hold the request-to-exit
button.
If you Hold the Door Open: If the door is
held open for 'too long', a 'Door Held Open'
message will be logged.
A person holding a door open, or indicating that they
are being forced to enter may also trigger an alarm
(depending on the monitoring settings for the specific
door).
Entering During the Pre-Arming Cycle:
With a scheduled arming, authorized persons
entering during the 15 minute pre-arming cycle
will be granted access--without interrupting the
arming cycle. They would then have to:
+ Extend the closing time ("work-late"), or
+ Manually disarm the area once the final pre-
arm countdown begins, or;
+ Leave before the arming occurs.
