MAC Address: The unique 48-bit address burned into Ethernet and Token Ring adapters,
identifying a specific network card from all others. The address is normally shown as 12
hexadecimal nibbles, for example, 00-50-F9-3A-64-BC.
NO/NC: Normally Open or Normally Closed contacts.
PIN: Personal Identification Number used with cards to allow access.
PIR: Passive infrared switch. Typically used for a REX.
Power to secure: Indicates that a door is locked (secured) when the door strike relay is
powered (engaged).
Power to unlock: Indicates that the door is unlocked when the door strike relay is
powered.
Proximity: A type of reader (read head) that operates without a card actually touching the
reader. The proximity reader uses wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology.
Reader: A door control unit that reads cards to allow access, which is one function of the
unit.
Relock delay time: The amount of time, in seconds, to delay relocking the door after a
valid card access. Sometimes referred to as relock time.
Relock time: see Relock delay time.
Request to exit input: The input that monitors the Request to exit (REX or RTE) switch.
The REX switch might be a pushbutton or PIR. This input is frequently placed on the
secure side of a door to allow egress without a card read.
REX: See request to exit.
Site Code: An encoded three-digit number that differentiates one set of cards from
another. The site code is embedded by the manufacturer of the cards, usually at the
request of the user.
Sounder: The piezoelectric device at the back of the reader from which sounds, such as
alarms or confirmation beeps, emit: The Sounder is also referred to as the Sound Device.
Standard door open time: See Door open time.
Supervised input: An input that detects four states: normal, alarm, open circuit, and
short circuit.
Swipe: Present a card to the reader within the read range.
System Number: The system number is an embedded card number; it appears in
hexadecimal format on the door control unit LCD display.
Tamper Sensor: A light-sensing device on the back of the reader unit that sounds an
alarm when the unit has been tampered with.
Time clearance: Configures access at specified days and times.
Time zone: Configures access levels based on the time clearance.
