Door Types | Options

Options

  • Door REX Not Allowed: With this option enabled, REX (request to exit) operation will be disabled for any doors using this door type. This overrides the settings in the door programming.
  • Door REN Not Allowed: With this option enabled, REN (request to enter) operation will be disabled for any doors using this door type. This overrides the settings in the door programming.

  • Requires Dual Authentication * : When this option is enabled any doors using this door type will require dual authentication (i.e. two separate user credentials) for access. To gain access, the following steps occur:

    • A user with Dual Custody Master enabled (Users | Users | Options) enters valid credentials.

    • The door activates the Reader 1/2 Dual Authentication Pending Output and waits for the second user. If the Reader 1/2 Dual Authentication Wait Time is exceeded the access request times out.

      Both options can be configured in Expanders | Reader Expanders | Reader 1/2.

    • A second user with Dual Custody Master or Dual Custody Provider enabled (Users | Users | Options) enters valid credentials.
    • Access is granted and the door unlocks.

    This feature is used for high security areas such as bank vaults or server rooms that require high levels of oversight. It can also be used to ensure there are always two people present in hazardous areas such as laboratories.

  • Dual Card Provider Can Initiate Access * : When this option is enabled, a Dual Custody Provider can initiate the dual authentication sequence without the requirement for a Dual Custody Master. Any combination of provider and master can initiate and complete the credential sequence.
