4.2.2 Assign a Door Class
Door classes allow an operator to classify doors so that door commands can be performed on all doors
within that class. With these classifications in place, an operator can perform commands on door classes
such as manually locking/unlocking all doors within the door class or performing a complete database
update of all controllers within the door class.
Before assigning door classes, take some time and map out all the door class possibilities for the site.
Consider how doors with similar access responsibilities can be grouped together. For example, you
could have three door classes: exterior doors, interior doors, and emergency doors. It is important to
remember that each door may be assigned to only one door class.
1. To assign a door class, click on the Setup ⇒ System pull-down menu or click on the tool bar
button. Then click on the Doors tab (see Figure 3-20 on page 27 of this section).
2. Scan down the door name and controller/door address columns and locate a door to be assigned a
door class.
3. Click on the “Door Class” cell corresponding to the selected controller/door.
4. Type a descriptive door class title for that door in the “Door Class” cell.
NOTE: In the door class cell is a drop-down arrow . If you click on the arrow, a list with all
available selections will appear. Once a number of selections has been entered as described in step 4,
you may decide to use this method to quickly enter a selection instead of directly typing the information
into the cell.
5. The resulting window should look similar to Figure 3-21.

6. Once all the doors have been assigned a door class, click on the button. If the changes are
not saved before clicking any other button or exiting the system setup window, the data entered is
lost and must be re-entered.
