User`s guide

198 Guardall Director V4.74 User's Guide 21-0381E v4.7.4
This setting is used with high-security areas--such as
a cash room. With this setting, persons who do not
'badge out' of the area will be denied access to all
areas--even at readers not set for antipassback
.
Without "Strict APB", persons who do not 'badge out'
of APB-controlled areas will only be blocked against
re-entering their last known area, or re-entering the
facility from 'outside' (see next setting).
- Ignore Outside to Inside Area Check: This
setting causes readers (that are set to "Detect
Antipassback") to allow entry from outside for
persons who did not 'badge out' of the facility.
Tip: This is typically for a parking garage 'area'
without an exit reader.
This does not override other APB conditions. The
area being entered cannot be their last known area
("APB auto-reset" will override this--see next setting),
and they must still 'badge out' of any areas that are set
for "Strict APB Enforcement" (see previous setting).
- Auto-Reset: This allows selecting whether APB
checking will be on-going, or for a set duration
only
(see details).
None: Antipassback restrictions will be enforced on a
continual basis;
xx Min/Hrs
: The antipassback restriction will be limited
to a fixed period of time after each person is granted
access to a specific area. (Each user's APB status will
be reset, avoiding undesired 'APB violations'.)
APB Auto-Reset (especially of short duration) is not
recommended with Time and Attendance reporting
applications (including "Roll-Call").
Antipassback must also be enabled for each specific
reader. To do this, refer to "Reader 1 & 2 Settings for
a Door" ("Detect Antipassback" selection).
The antipassback status can be reset for a specific
user, or for all users in a specific area (to allow their
next entry or exit regardless of their previous APB
status). For details, refer to "Resetting Users'
Antipassback Status", and/or "Resetting the
Antipassback Status for Users in a Specific Area" in
the Control & Status Chapter.
Scheduling
Arm/Disarm Scheduling
- Schedule: The open/close schedule to be
associated with this area (or ‘none’). At the
scheduled 'closing' time, area keypads will beep
to remind staff to either arm the area and exit, or
delay the closing time (worklate). If neither of
these actions occur, an alarm can be
transmitted, and/or the area can be armed
automatically (as per settings to follow).
Tip: Pause the mouse cursor over a schedule in the
list to see the settings for that schedule.
To define a schedule, refer to "Schedules for User
Access and Area Automation".
A programmable output can be set to signal when the
area closing time is approaching. For details, refer to
"Programmable Outputs".
- In Schedule: The length of time before the area
will automatically 're-close' after being disarmed
inside of the schedule. This allows limiting the
time that authorized users can remain in the
area during the schedule (e.g., cash machines,
vaults, etc.).
- Out of Schedule: The length of time before the
area will automatically 're-close' after an
'emergency off' is performed
(i.e., being disarmed outside of the schedule).
This limits the time that an "Emergency Off" can
remain in effect.
- Work Late Input: When someone presses a
work-late button in this area (during the 'pre-arm
cycle), the scheduled closing time with be set
as
{value selected here} from the present time.
Note: A worklate button is a custom input point with
its 'pre-process' set as "Worklate". To define a 'work
late' input-point, refer to "Input Points—Custom Point
Types", and "Input Points—Monitored Sensors".
- Limit Work Late to Midnight: User's ability to
'Work Late' (i.e., override the scheduled 'Close'
time) for this area will be limited to not extend
beyond midnight.
- Auto Arm on Fail to Close: The area will auto-
arm at the scheduled closing time. This cannot
be used in conjunction with 'Stay on Fail to Exit'
(described above).
- Transmit Fail to Close: Transmit a "Fail-to-
Close" to the monitoring station if the area has
not been armed at the scheduled closing time.
-------------------------
- Always auto disarm to Off (Blind)
(V4.4):
When the area's schedule becomes active (e.g.,
start of workday), the area will fully disarm to Off
automatically. If not selected, the area will
remain armed until it is disarmed either
manually, or when someone is granted entry
(auto-disarm on valid token).
Split-Shift: If the area's schedule contains two or more
separate time intervals, the area will disarm at the
beginning of each time interval.

notes pertaining to "Auto-disarm on valid token..." (on
this screen/tab).
