Tips: Areas set to the same priority value can be
armed and/or disarmed in any order relative to each
other. Area arm/disarm relationships can be set to
work in one direction only if desired. (e.g., In Area 1,
select for priority with Area 2—but in Area 2, do not
select for priority with Area 1.) Exception
: Such
area(s) must be selected for priority arming/disarming
with at least one other area.

consideration under priority-based arming/disarming.
Typically for temporary use.

Antipassback
Antipassback (APB): A feature that blocks individual
cards from being used to:
+ Re-enter the same area, or;
+ Re-enter the facility from 'outside', and/or;
+ (Optional): Enter other areas;
…Unless
they are recorded as exiting first--i.e., each
person must use their card/token at every reader they
encounter (that is set to "Detect Antipassback"). Tip:
This helps to protect against unauthorized card usage.
Note
: Antipassback-controlled areas typically require
'Exit' readers on the inside (at each door).
- Strict Entry/Exit Enforcement: This enables
antipassback checking between areas.
