22 PRT-WX-DIN Using Protege WX Installation and Programming Manual | June 2013
Understanding the Defaults
To simplify things and make programming your site as easy as possible, Protege WX includes a number of
default settings. These can be used 'as is' for quick and simple deployment, or adapted to suit your needs.
Either way, it helps if you understand what the defaults are and what they do. You'll find the names describe
them pretty well.
Users:
You'll find three users by default - Installer, Master, and User (Demo). There are also three access levels that
determine what users can do in the system, and three menu groups each providing a different level of control:
User PIN Code Description/Purpose
Installer 000000 Assigned the Installer access level and Installer menu group, this user has full
access to program the system via a keypad, but no area control or door
access.
Master 123456 Assigned the Master access level and All Menus menu group, this is a power
user with access to all areas and doors. They have complete control from a
keypad with the exception of the Installer menus.
User (Demo) 111111 Assigned the Users access level and User menu group, this is a typical staff
member/end user, with access to all areas, but with no doors or door groups
configured yet. Keypad control (via the menu group), allows basic control over
the system for arming/disarming.
Schedules:
There are schedules for Work Hours, After Hours, and Break Hours. These can be edited as required, and used
to enable a function or access level to operate only within certain scheduled periods. They can be used to
control when a user can gain access to things, to unlock doors automatically, to arm or disarm areas at certain
times or days, and to turn thing on and off or change the way they behave at certain times of day.
Inputs, Outputs, and Trouble Inputs
Inputs, Outputs, and Trouble Inputs for the Controller are included by default. Others are added automatically
when you add an Expander module using the wizard. For example, adding a Reader Expander will add the
inputs, outputs and trouble inputs for that module. Theses are then configured using the wizard.
Door Types and Input Types
The Door types - Card Only, Card and Pin, Card or Pin, Pin Only - are used to define how a door will operate
and when the entry mode is valid. Use these as they are or create your own door types to allow different modes
of control over the method a user has to access a door. For example, you can create a door type that allows
card only access between standard office hours of 8am and 5pm, but requires both card and pin outside these
hours for added security.
Input Types define how an input will operate in an area. For example, Delay will go into entry delay when
triggered, whereas Instant will activate immediately. There are a range of predefined input types included by
default. In most cases these will be enough, but you can modify them as needed or create your own to suit your
requirements. The four most commonly used input types are:
Instant: Activates an armed area immediately when input opens
Delay: Activates entry delay when input opens
Trouble Silent: Used for system trouble inputs. Generates an alarm without the Bell
24 Hour Alarm: Used for panic inputs. Generates an alarm even when area is disarmed
