Access Zones views

A defined access zone controls and monitors the entry and exit of personnel assigned to the zone, manages the occupancy levels for the zone, and configures anti-passback controls based on occupancy and the time of day.

This view opens when you click Controller (System) Setup > Access Setup > Access Zones in a remote host. It includes a tabular display of all existing access zones, including zones from all peer and subordinate stations.

  • You cannot add or edit an access zone from a Supervisor view. To add or edit, use the controller station Access Zone views.
  • From a Supervisor, you can see all system-wide access zones after you join and replicate subordinate controller zones.
  • To view the detailed configuration (doors, entry readers, exit readers, and other devices) of an individual access zone, you must connect to the controller directly.
  • Using the Grouping tab of a specific access zone view, you can join entry and exit stations into a single access zone.

Buttons

In addition to the standard control buttons (Summary, Delete, Rename, Filter, Column Chooser, Refresh, Manage Reports, and Export), these buttons provide specific access features:

  • Image Add creates a new access zone. The view it opens defines activity alert extensions, occupants, supervisors, entry readers, exit readers, and groups.
  • Image Hyperlink opens the access zone summary view.
