dialog box – A dialog box is a text window that the Doors software displays on screen when the software needs
information from an operator. The operator enters the information by reading the instructions in
the window and then filling-in-the-blanks in designated fields in the window.
digital tablet – A digital tablet is an input device used to input a user’s signature. It is made up of an electronic
tablet and a stylus (a device rather like a pen or pencil). The user simply uses the stylus to write
the user’s name on the tablet. As the user is writing, the characters being written are displayed on
screen. This digital version of the user’s signature can then be used on a user’s photo ID badge.
(See stylus.)
directory code – The directory code is the set of numbers used by visitors at the EntraGuard controller to dial up the
person they wish to contact. The tenant may then either grant or deny visitor access to the
building.
door class – An operator may assign a class to the doors so that door commands can be performed on all doors
grouped within a class.
door name – An operator can assign a descriptive name to a door on the access control system.
download – Downloading is the process by which the host computer receives information from the access
control network; information is downloaded to the host computer. (See upload.)
dual verification –The use of two credentials to gain access into a secure area.
egress – Egress is a term for exiting a secured area. (See ingress.)
enroll – Enrolling is the process of activating a card for use by a user in the access control network. A card
must be entered into the access control network and then assigned to a user.
EntraGuard – EntraGuard refers to the use of the EntraGuard Gold Telephone Entry controller on the access
control network. This controller allows visitors to call a tenant requesting entry through an access
controlled door. The tenant then has the ability to either grant or deny that request.
EntraGuard IDs –See user ID.
event – An event is an occurrence at a controller (such as unlocking a door, requesting to exit, forcing a
door open) that generates a message stored by the controller.
firmware – Firmware is a set of operating instructions for a controller, stored on a ROM on the controller.
first person in – The First Person In (FPI) function allows an operator to determine if a door should be
automatically unlocked when the unlock/lock time zone begins or if the door should not
automatically unlock until after a person presenting a valid card arrives. This feature is used
whenever there is a concern that employees may be delayed in arriving to a secured site (perhaps
due to inclement weather).
general protection fault – A general protection fault (GPF) occurs whenever a program executes a command that the
operating system considers dangerous to the operating system. When a GPF is generated, the
program that generated the GPF is closed and control is returned to the operating system.
global secure – Global secure allows an operator to set a time of day at which all doors that are not under
automatic control (i.e. controlled by an unlock/lock time zone) are locked.
