Access Control Setup view

This view configures the Access Control Service.

To access this view from the main menu of a remote host controller station, click Controller Setup > Access Setup > Access Control Setup.

In addition to the standard properties (Status, Fault Cause and Enabled), these properties support access control configuration.

Property	Value	Description
Cache Status	read-only	Indicates if cache is currently being used. Caching speeds up access. If access is slow, check this property value to see if caching is currently inactive or failed. Cache is normally temporarily disabled during a join process.
Display Unknown Wiegand Formats	`true` or `false` (default)	Turns off (false) unknown Wiegand messaging.
Has Pin Duress	`true` or `false` (default)	Turns the PIN duress alarm feature on and off.
Pin Duress Offset	text	When PIN Duress is enabled, sets a number used for incriminating a PIN value to indicate duress. For example, if a PIN number is `1234` and the Pin Duress Offset value is `2`, a PIN number of `1236` causes a duress alarm if the `Pin Duress Enabled` property is set to `true`.
Remote Validation	`true` or `false` (default)	Controls the validation of user credentials at a remote location. Remote validation usually takes less than five seconds. However, if a Supervisor station is busy or has a large database, remote validation can take much longer, or may not be successful at all. In this situation, a card holder may walk away prior to the door unlocking, creating a security risk. For these reasons, this property defaults to `false`. If it is disabled on either the Supervisor or remote station, remote validation does not occur.
