4.6 Key Validation Dates
Each user key in the database is given a start date and end date. If the current
date is within that window then the group parameters & permissions will be
checked. Otherwise the key will be rejected. Groups 1-9 are all subject to
validation date checking. The Master Key (Group 0) is not.
4.7 Group Codes
Each Group Number 2-9 has an associated Group Code. (Group Numbers 0 & 1
do not have an associated Group Code). The Group Code indicates whether or
not Holidays should be checked before access is granted.
4.8 Daily Time Zone Schedules
Each Group Number 2-9 has 4 time zones per day of the week during which
access may be granted. The time zones are check last, and apply even if a key
has passed all validation checks.
Each time zone is specified by a Start time and an End time.
4.8.1 Start Hours and End Hours entries are (0-23)
Start Min and End Min entries are (0-59)
Day of the week proceeds from Sunday to Saturday. (0-6)
5 Access Control Operation
Each key ID stored in the database has an associated group number (0-9) and a
start and end validation date.
When a key is read by the Hybrid reader, a decision to grant or deny access is
made. Below is a brief overview of this decision process. (assumes the key is a
user key, not the master key.)
• Find the key in the database
• Check the validation dates
• Check the Group #, otherwise reject the key.
o If the Group# = 0 & tag is not the master then reject the tag.
(Except for the master tag)
o If the Group# = 1 then accept the tag and unlock 24/7.
o If the Group# = 2-9
