Entry Readers tab

This tab displays the local card readers connected to this controller, which are used to enter the access zone. You can only add readers to access zones when you are connected to the reader’s assigned remote station. Readers are not visible and cannot be configured from remotely-grouped stations.

You access this tab from the main menu of a remote host station by clicking Controller Setup > Access Setup > Access Zones, followed by creating a new zone or double-clicking an existing zone and clicking the Entry Readers tab.

 
NOTE: In an enterprise system configuration, entry readers are available from more than one controller.
 

Remote stations pass entry reader information to a Supervisor station, as appropriate, but you cannot configure these readers, nor are they visible from the Supervisor station.
