Situation Manager - Global Lock/Unlock
The Situation Manager is an advanced Doors.NET feature advanced feature imple-
menting Global Lock/Unlock commands. This allows an operator to immediately lock or
unlock a designated group of doors, over multiple controllers, using either designated
hardware inputs or a unique set of icons on the Home Tab ribbon bar.
NOTE: PXL controllers must be at firmware v8.6.09 or greater to properly use all aspects
of the Global Lock/Unlock feature.
The Doors.NET Situation Manager extends the basic Global Lock/Unlock feature imple-
mented in Doors with PXL hardware. The Doors.NET implementation provides a Situ-
ation Manager that takes advantage of the power and flexibility of Doors.NET software
and its supported controllers and hardware to provide greater control on how Global
Lock/Unlock is implemented.
The following list describes how the Situation Manager implements Global Lock/Unlock.
l
When enabled, Doors.NET adds a Situation Manager sub-group of icons to the pro-
gram ribbon bar. These icons display current state and allow an operator to activ-
ate Global Lock, Global Unlock, or return to normal operating state.
l
When a Global Lock command is initiated, designated doors immediately return to
their normal, valid credential required state. All Auto-Unlock/ Lock Timezones are
overridden, but all valid credentials will be granted access.
l
When a Global Unlock command is initiated, designated doors are immediately
unlocked.
l
Any input on an NXT controller, 4x4 expansion module, or GIOX expansion board
that is not configured for door operations (i.e., door contact, alarm, or REX) can be
designated as a Global Unlock or Global Lock input. Multiple inputs across mul-
tiple devices can also be designated.
l
Global Unlock and Global Lock commands can operate over multiple controllers
and over multiple Gateways, even if they are different Gateway types (for example,
a site with doors connected to both NXT and MSC Gateways).
l
Either the System Calendar or the optional Global Linkage feature can activate
Global Lock and Global Unlock commands.
