Any Card
The Any card mode of offline operation should only be used for high volume internal low security doors. In this
mode of operation, all card and / or PIN access attempts will be granted. All granted events, including REX
events will generate the offline warning of four short beeps from any readers attached to the door.
There are two important points to remember with this mode:
1. Any card that can be read by the reader will be granted access
2. Any PIN entered at a reader in Card or PIN or PIN only mode will be granted access
First 10 Users + Cache
The First 10 users + Cache mode of offline operation is recommended for most doors.
In this mode of operation, access will be granted for the first 10 programmed users (usually the most
important people on the system, such as the installer and master).
Access will also be granted for a number of cached offline users.
All granted events, including REX events will generate the offline warning of four short beeps from any
readers attached to the door.
RDM2 & RDS2
The RDM2 and RDS2 reader expanders are non-intelligent reader expanders, and will function as follows in
offline mode.
In the cached mode of offline operation, the RDM2 and RDS2 will currently grant access for any card that
has a facility code matching one of the last 50 facility codes to be presented. This is currently being
reviewed and is likely to change in the near future.
Events will not be stored while in offline mode.
Schedules will not be followed while in offline mode.
Doors that are unlocked will lock while in offline mode.
Door alarms such as DOTL and Forced will not be processed while in offline mode.
If an input used for intruder detection opens and closes while the expander is offline, it will never be logged
or actioned.
If an input used for intruder detection changes state while offline and remains in the new state, it will be
logged and actioned when the expander comes back online.
Because the input state is still processed, LED operation will continue to follow the state of the input while
offline.
