7.2 Passenger Mode
Passenger mode enables a door to stay open for a longer period of time when swiped with a
special usage card. This configuration is frequently used in airports to allow the free access of
passengers through the door.
When the reader is in this mode, it allows a normal card access through the door. However, a
card that has been assigned Special Usage in the Personnel application is given the option to
open the door as Staff or Passenger.
Passenger mode keeps the door open for an extended period of time. The default time is 30
minutes.
7.2.1 Configuring passenger mode in the software
For passenger mode to work correctly, the terminal must be configured in passenger mode
and the cardholders using that terminal must be allocated special usage in the Personnel
application. To activate special usage, select the Special Usage check box in the personnel
record of the relevant cardholder.
Card Swipe to End Mode
Figure 54 Timing diagrams shows the timing sequences that take place when a card swipe is
used to start and end the activation of third-party equipment. It also shows the options of either
using or not using activations sensing.
