Executive APB Override This field only applies if Anti-Passback is first enabled under Setup - Site Settings. You can do this
immediately by selecting the link arrow to the left side of Executive APB Override to go directly to
the Site Settings page. Under Anti-Passback, you can select Enable to activate the Anti-Passback
feature for this site.
In addition, you must select cardholders and security areas under Control, Reset APB.
There are two options for Executive APB Override
• Deny Access - If APB is violated, the system denies access to the area and generates an
access denied alarm. This is the normal selection for most cardholders, otherwise Anti-
Passback has little value.
• Grant Access - If APB is violated, the system allows access to the area, provided the
cardholder is authorized for entry to that area during that time, etc. Executive APB Override
applies only to Anti-Passback conditions. It does not override other access rules. This will still
trigger an alarm.
For more information, see Appendix C, Anti-Passback .
PIN Code The PIN Code is the Personal Identification Number or password (maximum number of digits is 4)
that the cardholder uses at the keypad for access. If the PIN is less than 4 digits, then leading
zeros must be entered. For example, if the PIN is 23 and the PIN code is set for 4 digits, you must
enter 0023 at the card reader. You can also use the asterisk after the number, for example, 23*.
If keypads are not enabled on the Reader Setup Page, then no PIN Code is required.
The small icon to the right of the PIN Code field is a PIN Code generator.
