Configuring a threat level for a reader

Assuming your reader has the required features, at a normal threat level a reader can require a reader-only card swipe for validation. However, at a higher active threat level, a reader may require a card swipe and the entry of a PIN to provide valid access.
Prerequisites: You are working in the controller station that manages the reader.
  1. From the main menu, click Controller Setup > Remote Devices > Remote Modules > Remote Module Setup and double-click the remote module that supports the door device, click the Doors tab, click the door name, and click the Strike tab.
    The Module Setup view opens to the Strike tab.
  2. Configure the Elevated Threat Level property to something other than None.
    Setting this value to None causes the system to ignore the threat level.
  3. Configure the Elevated Threat Reader Config property.
    This tells the system what to enable when the active threat level matches or exceeds the Elevated Threat Level value.
