Set Time
The Doors program then needs to synchronize the time/date between the host computer and
all controllers so that all event can be tracked correctly.
Perform Smart Update
The Doors program downloads default operating information to the access control network.
Get Controller Status
The Doors program polls the access control network and receives information regarding
controller/door configuration. It then inserts this information into the appropriate databases
within the Doors program. This is the quickest way to verify that all controllers/doors are
recognized by the access control system.
Begin Database Programming
Database programming is where the day-to-day operating parameters for the access control
system are entered.
Setup Operators
The setup operators commands allow for the creation of system operators and the assignment
of operator privileges. It is the operators that will be performing the work: creating the
databases required by the Doors software to do its job and monitoring the access control
network once everything has been downloaded to the network.
Setup Time Zones
The setup time zones commands allow an operator to create the various daily time periods and
holiday time periods to be applied to access groups, the auto unlock/lock door function, and
for input/output operations.
Setup Doors
The setup doors commands allow an operator to define the configuration and operation
parameters for all the controllers/doors on the access control network.
Setup Access Groups
The setup access groups commands allow an operator to combine time zones and doors into a
superset of information that is applied to cardholders. In conjunction with time zones, access
groups allow an operator to define which doors an employee is allowed to use at what times.
Setup Cards
The setup cards commands allow an operator to enroll cards into the system and enter
cardholder information, and to void cards from the system. Each cardholder has a card that
identifies that individual to the access control network. When a cardholder presents a card to a
reader requesting access, information associated with the card is compared to information in
the databases stored at the controller to determine if that cardholder should be allowed access
through that door.
Setup Monitor Windows
The setup monitor window commands allow an operator to configure up to three different
monitoring windows to allow filtered, real-time tracking of events on the access control
network.
