card – A card is an access control identification device assigned to an individual to give that individual
access rights to an access control network. It is the size of a credit card. Each card has a unique
identification code. That identification code is then associated with an access group to determine
through which doors and at what times users are granted access.
card PIN – The Card PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a special number automatically generated and
assigned to a card during enrollment when the card+PIN feature has been enabled. Only for use
with a P-650 Card+PIN Proximity Reader and Keypad, PXL-250W controller, and 26-bit Wiegand
access cards. This PIN allows a secondary verification of a user by requiring a PIN be entered
after presenting a valid access card. The Card PIN cannot be changed or edited and must be given
to the user with the card.
card number – The card number is the second set of digits printed on the body of the access control card or tag.
The card number will be more than 4 digits long.
cardholder – A cardholder is an individual who has been assigned an access control card or tag.(See user.)
collecting events – Collecting events from all controllers clears the controller buffers and stores the events in an
event file on the hard disk. Event data can then be processed into report format. Collection of
events can take place while updating or while monitoring.
COM port – A COM port is a serial data communications device on a computer. Communication between the
host computer and the access control network is done through this device.
connect timer – The EntraGuard connect timer determines the length of connection between the EntraGuard unit
and the tenant’s telephone.
controller – A controller is a microprocessor based circuit board that manages access to a secure area. The
controller receives information that it uses to determine through which doors and at what times
users are granted access to that secure area. Based on that information, the controller can lock/
unlock doors, sound alarms, and communicate status to a host computer.
database – A database is an organized set of information.
daylight savings adjustment – Enabling the daylight savings adjustment allows the controllers to automatically
adjust the time on the controllers when daylight savings time comes and goes.
dedicated I/O point – A dedicated I/O point is an input point that is dedicated to an Auxiliary RTE function or an
output point that is dedicated to single-door annunciation of Door Forced or Door Held Open
alarms.
department group – A department group is an operator assigned field in the user database. It is not actively used by
the Doors software, but is provided to allow an operator to sort the users within the database based
on the department for which they work.
desktop – The desktop is the primary window in the Windows operating system, from which programs are
started.
dial timezone – A dial timezone is a definition of the time-of-day and the days-of-the-week when a tenant will
accept a call from visitors requesting access through the EntraGuard unit. The process to set up a
Dial Timezone is the same as setting up any time zone.
