Glossary
access control – Access control is a general term describing the management of the entrance and exit of people
through secure areas.
access control network – An access control network is an interconnected set of controllers, managing the entrance
and exit of people through secure areas.
access group – An access group combines time zones and doors into a superset of information that is applied to
users. Basically an access group defines at what times and through which doors users are granted
access. To be granted access to a secure door, a user must meet the criteria of the access group
assigned to the user: be at a door that is a member of the access group during a time period within
the time zone assigned to the access group.
address, controller – Each controller must be assigned a unique address, identifying that controller in the network. A
controller address is similar to a home address. By addressing an envelope, mail is sent to a
specific individual at a specific home. By assigning unique controller addresses, operating
information can be sent directly to specific controllers.
alarm control – When a PXL-510 master controller is connected to a NetworX NX-8E alarm panel, any of the
readers on the access control network can be set up to arm/disarm the alarm system by presenting
an access card.
amnesty – Amnesty allows a card/user to violate anti passback rules and reenter a secure area that a controller
has tracked as having already been entered by that card/user. (See anti passback.)
anti passback – Anti passback (APB) provides one-card one-way access into and out of a secure area. It prevents
someone from using a card to enter a secure area and then passing that card back to someone else
to use to enter that same secure area.
APB – See anti passback.
archive file type – The selection of the archive file type determines how event files will be archived. There are three
types to choose from: yearly (default); monthly; or weekly.
aspect ratio – The aspect ratio is a scaling number based on the height versus width of a graphic. When resizing
graphics, as the height changes, the width changes a corresponding amount maintaining the aspect
ratio. This ensures the graphic appears correct regardless of the new size of the graphic.
auto-collection – Auto-collection allows the host computer to automatically receive event information from the
controller’s event buffer, when the controller’s buffer becomes full.
auto-config – See auto-configuration.
auto-configuration – Auto-configuration is a process within the Doors software where the software polls the access
control network to determine which controllers on the access control network are responding and
then receive configuration information from these controllers.
banner message –The EntraGuard Gold controller may be set up to display up to three rotating banner messages on
the LCD.
