Users Guide
Doors is designed to make the access control system configuration and operation as simple as
possible. This is done by breaking the configuration and operation processes into logical
sections. Each section is responsible for a specific operation; whether it is entering
information regarding how some aspect of the system is to be used or physically performing
some operation.
The Users Guide is written for the novice user, learning how to navigate the Doors software
menus and how to use the commands within the menus. The Users Guide presents the
configuration and operation process in a recommended order of implementation. An operator
can configure the system in almost any order, but the order described in the Users Guide
provides the most sequential and complete path for the first time installer and for a new
installation. Generally speaking, each section of the Users Guide builds upon what has been
completed in the previous section.
To present this information, the Users Guide provides "real-world" examples of a new
installation for a small company in an order that logically builds a complete access control
database. By using real-world examples, this Users Guide will reveal the extensive power and
simplicity of the Doors software.
The scenario for these real-world examples consists of a small building with 4 controllers
controlling 5 doors. Figure 1 provides a floor-plan of this building. Access control will be
provided for three exterior doors and for two interior doors. The people working in this
building have a variety of jobs: manufacturing, stockroom, sales, technical, janitorial,
management, so the time of access and area of access requirements differ depending upon the
personnel.
Older revisions of Doors software and controller firmware do not have all the features
described in this Users Guide. This Users Guide is written to describe the capabilities of the
current Doors software and controller firmware, and might not accurately reflect the
capabilities of previous software/firmware revisions.
