Doors | Advanced Options

Advanced Options

  • Update User Area When Passback Disabled * : By default, unless antipassback is enabled the system does not keep track of which area a user is in when they pass through the door. With this option enabled the controller will update the area the user is in even when antipassback is disabled on this door. This feature is useful on sites where some doors have antipassback enabled but others do not.

    This setting is not related to the User Area in Users | Users | General.

  • Lock Out REX When Inside Area Armed: When this option is enabled the door will deny any request to exit made when the inside area has been armed. This can be used to prevent people from exiting an armed area. Users can still exit with a valid credential.

  • Deny Entry if Inside Area is Armed: When this option is enabled the door will deny entry to all users when the door's inside area is armed.

    This option overrides the Disarm area for door on access option in the Expanders | Reader expanders | Reader 1/2 programming, so users will be locked out even if they have access to disarm the area.

  • Deny Exit if Outside Area is Armed: When this option is enabled the door will deny exit to all users when the door's outside area is armed.

    This option overrides the Disarm area for door on access option in the Expanders | Reader expanders | Reader 1/2 programming, so users will be locked out even if they have access to disarm the area.

  • Prompt User for Access Reason Code: With this option enabled, users who request access at the door must enter an access reason code at an associated keypad before the door will be unlocked.

    When the user badges their card the keypad will prompt them to enter an Area from 001-009, then press [Enter]. When they do, access will be granted and an event will be logged in the format: 'User Unlocked Door By Type [XX]'. The Type code in the event corresponds to the Area reason code minus 1, so that the codes Area 001-009 correspond to Type 00-08.

    Use of this feature requires the following settings in the Expanders | Reader Expanders | Reader 1/2 programming:

    • Reader 1/2 Keypad Type: LCD keypad
    • Keypad to Use for PINs Reader 1/2: Select a keypad adjacent to the door

    This feature is not supported with card and PIN operation.

  • Enable Access Taken on Door Unlock Events: With this option enabled, when a user is granted access at the door the system will record whether the requested access was taken or not. For example, if a card is badged and then the door is opened an 'Access Taken' event will be logged. If the door is not opened an 'Access Not Taken' event will be logged.

    When this option is not enabled the system will not indicate whether or not access was taken.

Extended Access Time Options

The antipassback options below apply when the door type associated with the door has antipassback settings configured (Programming | Door Types | General).

  • Door Extended Access Time: The duration (in seconds) that the door will remain unlocked for users who require extended access times. This will override the Lock Activation Time for any users with the User operates Extended Door Access Function option enabled (Users | Users | Options).
  • Antipassback Entry/Exit User Reset Time * : If Enable Timed User Antipassback Reset is enabled below, these fields define the period (in minutes) for resetting the antipassback status of all users who have entered or exited the door.
  • Reset Antipassback Status On Schedule * : With this option enabled, the antipassback status of all users who have accessed this door will be reset whenever the Antipassback Reset Schedule below changes states (i.e. becomes valid or invalid).

  • Enable Timed User Antipassback Reset * : With this option enabled, the antipassback status of all users who have accessed this door will be reset periodically. The period is set in the Antipassback Entry/Exit User Reset Time fields above.

    For example, if the entry reset time is set to 120 minutes, every 2 hours the system will reset the antipassback status of all users who have entered the door during this time.

  • Antipassback Reset Schedule: If Reset Antipassback Status On Schedule is enabled, this field defines the schedule used to reset antipassback status.
