An access method determines how a person gains access to a building or area.
The system provides these methods to control access:
- Card-only access allows entry or exit using a card at a reader. No PIN is required for this type of access.
- Card plus PIN access requires both a card and a PIN (Personal Identity Number).
- Card or keypad access requires either a card swipe, card number entry, or an intrusion PIN entry using a keypad for access.
- Control access by schedule allows access only at certain times, depending on the schedule parameters. The Installation and
Maintenance Guide provides procedures for setting up regular schedules. This guide covers special events.
- Access is available through the graphical user interface, which controls the doors.
