Card Security Management Commands

There are two system security management commands. The first, anti-passback amnesty, clears
the anti-passback counter allowing “reaccess” for cards. The second, the card security fence,
allows cards to remotely arm an alarm panel.

Anti-Passback Amnesty

The anti-passback command is used to ensure one-card/one-way access into and then out of a
controlled area. An authorized card presented to the access reader will allow access, but will not
work again for access until one of three things happens: the card has been used to exit through
an egress reader, 24 hours have passed, or the access control system has been reset by the
Anti-passback amnesty command. This command resets the passback status flag for all cards in
the system, allowing a card previously considered inside the access area to be reused for access.

To grant anti-passback amnesty, use your pointing device and select Utility, and then APB
Amnesty. The Status Message Line will display:

Once communication is complete, anti-passback amnesty has been granted.

Set the Card Security Fence

The card security fence command allows cards to be used to remotely arm or disarm an alarm
panel. To set the security fence, a slot number is designated to be a boundary between
“privilegded” and “non-privileged” cards. Cards at or below this slot number become privilidged
cards, cards that are above this slot number become non-privilgeded cards. When a priviliged
card is presented to a reader, the reader’s alarm panel becomes armed. Non-priviliged cards can
still be granted access, but will cause an alarm event if the alarm panel has been armed. The
factory default slot number is 0, disabling this command. For hardware implementation
information, please refer to the OB-3 Input/Output and Alarm Panel Control option board manual.

To set the security fence, determine the slot number at which you wish to make the priviliged/non-
priviliged division.

For example: To set the security fence to slot 100, use your pointing device and select Cards and
then Security Fence. The following prompt box will appear.

Type:

0 1 0 0 <ENTER>

The Status Message Line will display:

Once communication is established, the Status Message Line will display:

Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
