Elevator Mode
10.1
Elevator mode is an in-facility addition that allows you to restrict floor-level access using your Building Access
32's relays to enable the individual buttons on an elevator control panel. (Each individual button on the elevator
panel will be wired to a BAC 32 as a control relay.)
In elevator mode, a person accesses an elevator using a proxy card or the keypad attached to the BAPSU Access
Console. Their credentials are passed from the access controller to a NetGuardian which verifies the credentials
and sends a broadcast packet to all Building Access 32 controllers on the same subnet. The Building Access 32s
then process the In-Facility Broadcast based on the user's credentials (as described in the previous section). For
ports with elevator mode enabled that the user has rights to access, the relays will latch momentarily (5 seconds
by default). The person in the elevator will only be able to activate buttons for the floors their credentials allow
them to access.
Note:
Elevator mode uses the control relay only. Door alarm and proxy reader support is suppressed for ports in
elevator mode.

Configuring Elevator Mode:
You'll configure elevator mode through both the Web Interface for the BACTL and T/Mon. There are no
references outside of T/Mon for which floor is wired to which port on the BAC, so make note of which floors are
