↓

The fields are as follows:
Device Name: It is not editable (must be edited in 5.2.1 Add Access Control Panel);
Door Number: The system automatically named the numbers of doors according to how many doors of the device (for example, the four doors of a four-door control panel are numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4). The number will be consistent with the door number on the device.
Note: Although by default the number following the underline in the door name is consistent with the door number, but 1/2/3/4 in anti-passback and interlock refers to door serial number rather than the number following the door name, and they have no necessary relation, and the system allows the user to modify the door name, so they can not be confused;
Door Name: The default Door Name is “device name_door number”. The field allows the user to modify as required. Up to 30 characters can be entered;
Door Active Time Zone, Passage Mode Time Zone: By default both are null. Initialized and added access control time zones will be shown for the user to select. Upon door editing, door valid time zone is needs to be input. Only after setting the door valid time zone, the door can be opened and closed normally. We recommend to set the door Normal Open time period within the door valid time zone, only in this situation, the door normal open time zone is valid.
? Note: Consecutive punching of a card having access level of the door for 5 times can release the Normal Open status for one day (including First-Card Normal Open), and close the door immediately.
Lock Drive Duration: Used to control the delay for unlocking after card punching. The unit is second, and the default is 5 seconds. The user can enter a number between 0-254;
Punch Interval: The unit is seconds (range: 0-10 seconds), and the default is 2 seconds;
Entry-once-only restriction duration: Only one entry is allowed with a reader in this duration. The duration ranges from 0 to 120 minutes (default duration: 0). the password is an integer with less than six characters.
Door Sensor Type: NO (door sensor not detected), Normal Open, Normal Close. The default is NO. When editing doors, the user can select the door sensor type to be Normal Open or Normal Close. If Normal Open or Normal Close is selected, it is required to select door status delay and whether close and reverse-lock is required. By default, once door sensor type is set as Normal Open or Normal Close, the default door status delay will be 15s, and by default it will enable close and reverse-lock.
Door Status Delay: The duration for delayed detection of the door sensor after the door is opened. Detection is performed only after the door is opened and the delay duration expired. When the door is not in the “Normally Open” period, and the door is opened, the device will start timing. It will trigger an alarm when the delay duration expired, and stop alarm when you close the door. The default door status delay will be 15seconds. The door status delay should be longer than Lock Drive Duration.
Close and Reverse State: Set locking or not after door closing. Tick it for lock after door closing.
Verify Mode: Identification modes include Only Card, Card plus Password, Only Password, Card plus Fingerprint, and Only Fingerprint verify. The default is Only Card or Only Fingerprint. When Card plus Password mode is selected, make sure the door uses a reader with keyboard (the fingerprint verify modes are only available for version 5.0.8 and above version);
Wiegand card format: Select the Wiegand card format that can be identified by the Wiegand reader in the door. If the scanned card format is different with the setting format, the door cannot be opened. The software is embedded with 9 formats, and it is set to automatic matching to Wiegand card format by default. After automatic matching, the multiple Wiegand card formats (except for the card format name with a, b or c) embedded in the software can be identified.
Request to Exit: Lock status indicates that the door is locked after the exit button is pressed. Unlocking status indicates that the door is unlocked after the exit button is pressed. It is set to unlocking by default.
Alarm delay: Alarm delay indicates the alarm delay time for door detection after the exit button is locked. When the door is unlocked forcibly, the system detects the door status after a period of time. The delay time is set to 10s by default. You can set it to any integral between 1 and 254.
Duress Password, Emergency Password: Upon duress, use Duress Password (used with legally card) to open the door. When opening the door with Duress Password, it will alarm. Upon emergency, the user can use Emergency Password (named Super Password) to open the door. Emergency Password allows normal door opening. Emergency password is effective in any time zone and any type of verify mode, usually used for the administrator.
Duress Password Opening (used with legally card): When Only Card verify mode is used, the password is a number not exceeding 6 digits (integer), you need to press [ESC] first, and then press the setting password plus [OK] button. Finally swipe your card. The door opens and triggers the alarm.
