2 Configurable Features This chapter describes all the configurable features and their modes of operation, and provides you with detailed information to let you configure the system using the Configurator software. This chapter explains Version 2.
Configurable Features 2.1 Inputs Each Card Access Controller has eight inputs to accommodate the following special functions: 2.1.1 • Request to exit for reader A or B • Door sense for reader A or B • General purpose Request to exit for reader A or B When an input is active the door unlocks and the door unlock timer starts. When the door timer expires or the door sense associated with this card reader becomes active, the door locks. The input is associated with the ‘request to exit’ function. 2.
Configurable Features 2.2 Correlation The correlations function lets you establish specific relationships between panel inputs (events) and outputs (actions), such as turning on a light when a door opens. Correlations also allow you to specify these relationships to a schedule, such as allowing access only during certain days and times of the week. A maximum of 32 correlations is allowed. 2.2.
Configurable Features 2.2.4 Panels Correlations can be applied to either one of the panels on your system, all of the panels on your system. or to a custom group of panels on your system (for TCP/ IP networks only). across all panels on the network and can occur on the local panel, distributed panels or different types of panels (Card Access and Telephone Access) on the network. Note: 2.2.5 Correlation signals cannot be transmitted by Touch Screen Master Nodes.
Configurable Features The following features are configurable: 2.3.1 • Lock / Unlock • High security • PC decision required • Facility code • Card + PIN • Anti-passback • Temporary card • Interlock • Access Level • Controller options • Access point options • Card options Lock / Unlock An access point has one of the following lock status modes: Lock Mode. When in lock mode the door is normally locked.
Configurable Features • an access card with lock/unlock privileges, if swiped twice in succession, toggles between lock and unlock mode • a schedule associated with the lock/unlock mode - when the associated schedule is active, it changes to unlock mode and when the schedule is inactive, it changes back to lock mode Whenever the mode is changed from lock to unlock or from unlock to lock, the beeper on the reader associated with this access point sends a distinct beep indicating the mode is changed. 2.
Configurable Features 2.3.5 Card + PIN This mode provides another level of security during certain parts of the day. During this mode not only a valid card is required for access but also a PIN code. The PIN code is 1 to 4 digits long and is programmed for each card. 0 is not a valid PIN code. There is a schedule associated with this mode. When the schedule is enabled, the mode is on and when the schedule is disabled, the mode is off. This feature requires a card reader with a keypad. 2.3.
Configurable Features • for reader B schedule = Never Access level ID = 2 • for reader A schedule = Office hours • for reader B schedule = Always If a card is assigned an access level 1 it means the user can have access to reader A at all times but will not have access to reader B at any time. If a card is assigned an access level 2 it means the user can have access to reader A during the office hours and will have access to reader B all the time.
Configurable Features Auto relock. Enabling this option locks the door when the door closes before the door open timer or extended door timer expires. Disabling this option locks the door, but only after the expiration of door open timer or extended door open timer. Deduct usage count. For cards designated as “temporary” (that is, the usage counter option is enabled and set to a value below 255), this option decreases the usage counter by one every time this card is used at the access point.
Configurable Features Inhibit ID. When enabled the card code is not sent to the PC. This feature is used for logging and reporting purposes. Timed Anti-passback. When enabled access is not permitted at the same access point for a specific amount of time specified by the anti-passback timer. 2.3.12 Card options Access cards are configured for the following features: Usage counter. The usage counter is used for temporary cards. The usage counter can be given any value from 1 to 255.
Configurable Features 2.4 Timers The following types of timers are associated with the Card Access System operation: 2.4.1 • Unlock time • Extended unlock time • Anti-passback • Door held open warning • Door held open alarm Timer schedule Events are scheduled as Always, Never, or administrator defined. Timed access adheres to a schedule as follows: Auto-unlock schedule. When enabled the door remains unlocked during the schedule. PIN required schedule.
Configurable Features 2.4.5 Door held open warning The door held open warning timer starts when access is granted. When the door unlock timer expires and the door does not close during this interval a ‘door held open’ warning is issued to the PC and the common trouble status becomes active. If the door closes during this interval, the timer resets and no warning report is sent to the PC. The door held open warning timer is programmable from 10 to 900 seconds. The default is 30 seconds 2.4.
Configurable Features 2.6 • Auto-unlock • PIN required schedule • Access levels Holidays Up to 128 holidays can be entered in the system. Each holiday consists of the following: • start time/date • end time/date If a holiday falls on the same date each year it can also be programmed as an annual event. Each holiday has a holiday ID and label to identify the holiday for use in the configurator software. By default, New Year (January 1) is already programmed into the system. 2.
Configurable Features • door held open alarm The common alarm status clears only if all the above inputs are back in normal state. When the common alarm status is active, the common alarm led flashes at a fast rate. 30 (61) LT-980 TX3-CX Card Access System Installation and Operation Manual Copyright 2015 Version 2.
