5.0 Global Unlock/Lock and Situation Manager
The Global Unlock/Lock features used by PXL controllers in Doors32 are also available in
Doors.NET. These features use dedicated inputs on the master PXL controller to either unlock or lock
all online, functioning doors in the network.
Doors.NET also has a Situation Manager feature providing additional capabilities for controllers in
global unlock/lock applications. This feature provides greater control and flexibility in how Global
Unlock/Lock is implemented, including varying restriction levels of lock and unlock, and the ability
to assign/unassign specific doors to the global unlock/lock commands.
Situation Manager features are fully supported by the following controllers:
• NXT
• Mercury Powered NXT
• Standard Mercury
• Ingersoll/Rand Schlage
• PXL with firmware v8.06.09 or greater (all PXL controllers on the network must have this
firmware revision or greater)
Situation Manager features are partially supported by the following controllers:
• ASSA Aperio – only supports Lock and Remote Lock Out
-
The command can take up to one minute to process
- The unit cannot perform a lock down
• ASSA WiFi/POE – only supports Remote Unlock/Lock
-
Applies only to lock sets configured as Always On
• Entraguard
-
Entraguard firmware only supports the 'Global Lock Only' command. All the other, advanced
Global Lock commands are treated as a standard Global Lock Only command (Global
Lockout, Global Lockout allow Total Access, Global Lockdown, Global Lockdown allow
Total Access). This means you should not use an Entraguard controller as a master unless
there are only Entraguard units on the network as the advanced Global Lock commands will
not be passed on to the other units in the network.
- A Global Unlock command initiated by hardware reacts across all units nearly
instantaneously. If initiated through software via the Situation Manager each unit is unlocked
one-at-a-time. It can take up to 30 seconds per unit for the unlock command to be completed.
- Entraguard firmware does not issue an event following a lock command. Currently, the only
way to see Entraguard unit locked status is to request status from the unit. Entraguard
firmware does issue an event following an unlock command.
6.0 Miscellaneous Feature Differences Between Hardware
