3.3 Granting Global Amnesty

The Global Amnesty command grants amnesty to all users in the access control network.

1. To grant global amnesty simply click on the button at the top of the window.

2. The result of the operation is then displayed in a results field at the bottom of the Grant Amnesty

window (see Figure 6-33).

Figure 6-33: Results of Grant Global APB Amnesty

NOTE: Granting global amnesty causes an event to be recorded for every card/cardholder that can be

granted APB amnesty. If there is a large number of cardholders, there is a potential for the controller

event buffers to fill with amnesty granted messages, causing the oldest existing events on the controller

to be overwritten. This is because once the buffer fills, the newest events received overwrite the oldest

events in the buffer and events are written to the buffer faster than they can be downloaded from the

controllers. The Controller Reports Events command can be used to filter out the granting of global

amnesty messages (see “Controller Reports Events” on page 21 in section 5), but the ability to track the

granting of global amnesty is then lost.
