Floor Status and Control
The floor status screen shows the status of
access-controlled floors in the system, and
allows applying or removing access-control for
specific floor(s)--as accessed from all elevator
(lift) cabs in the system.
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 the ability to access the
specific floors.
Tip: You can also secure or desecure all floors as
accessed from a specific elevator (lift) cab. For details,
refer to "Viewing Status or Controlling Elevators".

Status/Command Reference:
Secure (controlled access): Access to the floor is
controlled (i.e., elevator floor call-button(s) are initially
de-activated). To access the floor, persons with
appropriate authority must present their access card
and/or enter their PIN.
Desecure (free access): Access to the floor is NOT
controlled (elevator floor call-buttons 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 specific floor (as accessed from all
elevator cabs).
Offline: This indicates that a relay board is unable to
communicate with the elevator controller (or the
elevator controller module has lost communications
with the panel).
