Controlling Inputs and Outputs
Inputs and outputs can be monitored from the Monitoring > Inputs/Outputs page, and outputs can be
activated or deactivated manually from that page. Outputs can also be controlled by action triggers.
To learn more about inputs and outputs, see
Activate or Deactivate an Output
1.
Select Monitoring > Inputs/Outputs.
2.
Click the Activate/Deactivate button for the Output.
The state of the output changes.
Controlling Action Triggers
On the System Administration > Action Triggers page, action triggers can be configured to monitor
one or more trigger conditions along with corresponding actions that will be executed when the
trigger conditions are satisfied, as described in
Depending on how they are configured, action trigger records can result in two types of actions:
•
Activation actions that are executed when a trigger condition becomes true, and
•
Deactivation actions that are executed when a trigger condition becomes false.
Once created, action triggers can be executed manually on the Monitoring > Action Triggers page to
cause the corresponding action to be executed.
Note the following details about controlling action triggers:
•
Action triggers that do not have an action defined for them will not appear on the Monitoring >
Action Triggers page.
•
Manual triggering does not have any priority over system triggering, nor is the trigger state
persisted. Once an action is manually triggered, any future state change of the system trigger
condition will cause the actions to be executed again.
•
To provide a quick way to secure all doors in a facility, create an action trigger record to lock all
doors, and then trigger it manually on the Monitoring > Action Triggers page when necessary.
Execute an Action Trigger Record Manually
1.
Select Monitoring > Action Triggers.
2.
Click the Manual Trigger action button for the action trigger record.
3.
Select Execute Activation Actions or Execute Deactivation Actions.
Resetting Anti-Passback
Anti-passback requires that a credential be used to enter and exit an area. In this way, the System
tracks which area the credential holder is currently occupying, keeps a record of personnel
movements in secure areas, and prevents passage to areas that are logically impossible. If a person
uses a credential to enter an area configured for anti-passback, and then leaves the area without using
the credential (through a door held open by another person, for example), the System will not record
