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.
Figure 247. Access Zones view
This view opens when you click 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 (Station Manager - Database) view, you may join one or more controller station(s) into a single access zone.
- Using the Grouping tab of a specific access zone view, you can group joined entry and exit stations into a single access zone.
