Elevator (Lift) Status and Control
The elevator status screen shows the status of
elevators in the system, and allows changing
the operating characteristics for elevator
readers. Selections are also provided to apply
or remove access-control for all floors or
individual floors--as accessed from a specific
elevator (lift) cab.
Permissions/Authorities: This feature can be used by
operators with "Control and Status" permission, when
logged into 'Control & Status' as a user who has "door
command" authority, and will affect only the floors they
have the authority to access.
Tip: You can also secure or desecure floors as
accessed from all elevator (lift) cabs. For details, refer
to "Viewing Status or Controlling Floors".

Status/Command Reference:
Secure (controlled access): Access to the floor (or all
floors from this cab) is controlled (i.e., the floor call-
button(s) are initially de-activated). To access the
floor(s), persons with appropriate authority must
present their access card and/or enter their PIN.
Desecure (free access): Access to the floor (or all
floors from this cab) is NOT controlled (floor call-
button(s) are activated).
Partially De/secured: Floors that presently have free
access through some elevator (lift) cabs, while access
is controlled though some other cabs (and/or where
some floor relays are offline, and the status isn't
known).
Return to Auto: This re-applies any defined
scheduling for the elevator and its associated floor-
access.
Offline: This indicates a relay board that is unable to
communicate with the elevator controller.
