Grouping tab

This tab adds stations to the displayed access zone and, thereby, extends the zone to the readers assigned to those stations. It is only available when you are connected to the master controller station. In addition to extending the access zone physically, grouping shares access zone naming, occupancy, and supervisor information.

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

Only stations that are joined in a peer relationship are available for grouping. You can only add readers to access zones when you are connected to the reader’s assigned station. Readers are not visible nor can they be configured from remotely-grouped stations.

Buttons

In addition to the standard features (Delete, Filter and Export) this view supports grouping with these buttons:

  • Image Hyperlink in either pane opens the Personnel > People Summary tab for the selected person.
  • Image Assign Mode buttons open and close the Unassigned pane.
