Editing a door

  1. Select Configuration > Doors.

    A list of configured doors is displayed.

  2. Click the Edit button.
  3. Configure the fields as described in the tables below.

Door inputs

Each door has 2 inputs with predefined functionality. These two inputs, the door position sensor and the door release switch can be configured.

Name

Description

Zone

The door position sensor input can be used for the intrusion part as well. If the door position sensor input is used also for the intrusion part, the zone number it is assigned to has to be selected. If the door position sensor is used only for the access part, the option “UNASSIGNED” has to be selected.

If the door position sensor is assigned to an intrusion zone, it can be configured like a normal zone but only with limited functionality (for example, not all zone types are selectable).

If an area or the system is set with the card reader, the door position sensor input has to be assigned to a zone number and to the area or the system which have to be set.

Description

Zone Type

  Each free zone number can be assigned to the zones but the assignment is not fixed. If the number ‘9’ is assigned to a zone, the zone and an input expander with the address ‘1’ is connected to the X-Bus (which is using the zone numbers 9–16). The assigned zone from the two door controller will be moved to the next free zone number. Configuration will be adapted accordingly.

Door attributes

  If no attribute is activated, a valid card can be used.

Escort

The escort feature enforces privileged card holders to escort other card holders through specific doors. If this feature is assigned to a door, a card with the “escort right” has to be presented first, to allow other cardholders without this right to open the door. The time period in which cardholders are able to present their cards after a card with escort right was presented, can be configured per door.

Prevent Passback*

Anti-passback should be enforced on the door. All doors must have entry and exit readers and must be assigned to a door group.

In this mode, cardholders must use their access card to gain entry into and exit from a defined door group. If a valid cardholder has presented his access card to enter a door group and not presented the card to exit it, the cardholder is in breach of the anti-passback rules. Next time the cardholder attempts to enter the same door group, a hard anti-passback alarm will be raised and the cardholder will not be permitted entry to the door group.

Soft Passback*

Anti-passback violations are only logged. All doors must have entry and exit readers and must be assigned to a door group.

In this mode, cardholders must use their access card to gain entry to and exit from a defined door group. If a valid cardholder has presented his access card to enter a door group and not presented the card to exit it, the cardholder is in breach of the anti-passback rules. Next time the cardholder attempts to enter the same door group, a soft anti-passback alarm will be raised. However, the cardholder will still be permitted entry to the door group.

Custodian*

The custodian feature allows a card holder with custodian right (the custodian) to give other cardholders (non-custodians) access to the room.

The custodian must be the first to enter the room. The non-custodians are only allowed to enter if the custodian is in the room. The custodian will not be allowed to exit until all non-custodians have left the room.

Door Interlock

Door interlock is feature that prevents the remaining doors in an interlock group from opening if any one door in the group is open.

The following are example of how this feature is used:

To create a door lock:

  1. Create a Door Group. See Editing a door.
  2. Set the Interlock attribute for the required doors in the group. See Editing a door.
  3. Configure a door output for door interlock operation. This output becomes active for all the doors of the interlock group whenever a door belonging to the group is open, including the open door itself.
    This output could be connected, for example, to a red LED or light to indicate that the door could not be opened, and if inverted could be connected to a green LED or light.

To configure an output for door interlock.

  1. In Full Engineer mode, select Configuration > Hardware > X-BUS > Expanders.
  2. In the Expander Configuration page, click the Change Type button for the required output.
  3. Select Door as the output type.
  4. Select the required door and Interlocked as the output type.
