Access Control

Attribute

Description

Card Number

Enter card number. Enter 0 to unassign this card.

Void Card

Check to temporarily disable this card.

Extended Time

Extend door timers when this card is present.

PIN bypass

Access a door without PIN on a door with PIN reader.

Priority

Priority cards are stored locally in the door controllers and will grant access in case of a technical fault where the door controller cannot communicate with the control panel.

The maximum number of priority users is:

  • SPC4xxx – all users

  • SPC5xxx – 512

  • SPC6xxx – 512

Escort

The escort feature enforces privileged card holders to escort other card holders through specific doors. If this feature is enabled on 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.

Custodian

The custodian feature enforces a card holder with custodian privilege to always be inside a room (door group) when other card holders are inside.

The custodian must be the first to enter the room. Only if a custodian is in the room other cardholders are allowed to enter. The cardholder with the custodian right will not be allowed to exit until all non-custodian cards left the room.

Identifies this card holder as a custodian. The user with the custodian attribute has to be the first who enters a door group which requires a custodian card holder and has to be the last that is leaving this door group.
Delete Card

If an access card is no longer needed it can be deleted via the keypad.

  1. Scroll to DELETE CARD.

  2. Press OK.

Reset Card

If the ‘Prevent Passback’ feature is activated in a room and a user leaves this room without using the exit reader, he is not allowed to enter this room again. The user’s card can be reset to allow him to present his card once without a passback check.

To reset the card via the keypad:

  1. Scroll to RESET CARD.

  2. Press OK.
