5.5 How Door Access Work
Upon completing all above settings, we assume the user will use a card to grant an access to
a door. Does anyone know how CASTLE controller react upon received the card information?
Let us explain some of the basic condition checking takes place at CASTLE door controller.
First of all, CASTLE controller will verify the current state of the door, if the door is in security
off or lock release condition then no card verification will be needed because the door is
already opened. Else, CASTLE controller will verify the facility code that contained in the card
against the SMARTGUARD facility code setting. If a different code presented, the door entry
will be denied. This is because the swiped card is belonging to another installation.
Next, CASTLE controller will search from the card table for the existence of the swiped card, a
search not found result indicate an invalid entry. The basic requirement to grant a door
accesses only happen if the swiped card was presented in CASTLE controller card table.
The searched record will be used to further decide on the validity of the swiped card.
CASTLE controller will check the current door setting, if the setting is being assigned to
accept pin number, then a 4-digit pin is expected to be input. The inputted pin number will
be compared with SMARTGUARD CS card recorded pin number. A discrepancy on the pin
number will deny the entry.
If Card Lock Out setting is on. CASTLE controller will examine the swiped card lock out
status. A lock out swiped cardholder should not be allowed to access the door.
On the other hand when an Anti Pass Back mode is on. CASTLE controller will further
examine the swiped card anti pass back status to confirm the swiped has not entered to this
location before. A previously entered card is not allow to re-enter under anti pass back
setting unless the cardholder has swiped out from the entered door.
The expiry date of the card and door accessibility will be checked as well, CASTLE controller
will always make sure an old swiped card must be filtered out from accessing the door.
Lastly, CASTLE controller will reference the door accessibility setting of the swiped card to
confirm whether the card user is permitted to enter this door. If the checking is clear than the
user will be granted a door access.
