The general open mode can be activated and deactivated with or without data carrier identification. This is a
configurable setting.
To use the general open function, the GAT Access 6100 requires firmware version 4.5.0 or higher (see
GANTNER partner web page).
6.12 External Release Function
The external release function allows external hardware, such as a push button or turnstile, to be activated (opened)
by the GAT Access 6100. The external hardware can connect to any of the terminal
’s optocoupler inputs. The function
is activated in GAT Config Manager via the following this path: Configuration > Communication > Hardware >
Optocoupler > Function > External Release. The optocoupler’s “Event trigger” settings remain unchanged and can be
adjusted depending on the installation requirements.
Access through the door is automatically activated when the user presses the external push button (no card data is
sent). All configured relays are activated as in a normal access situation. For example, if Relay1 is configured to
"Entrance"
in Config Manager and all other relays are configured to “No function”, then only Relay 1 will be activated
when an optocoupler set to “External Release” receives an input. Alternatively, if all the relays are configured to
“Entrance” then all relays are activated when any optocoupler set to “External Release” receives an input.
An additional setting for the external release function allows access information to be sent to the host software. This
setting is activated in Config Manager via: Configuration > Communication > Protocol > Enable Opto CardIdent.
Selecting this option box sends a “Card Ident” and “Action Started” command together with a UID of zero to the host
software when the optocoupler receives a signal. Host software could use this data to show information such as how
many people have gone through the door and at what time. The host software could also be configured to restrict
door access to certain times, e.g., the door relay is only activated after the external push button is pressed during
facility operating hours. Please note that these examples of host software configuration require additional
programming and it is the responsibility of the software developer to test all functional possibilities.
To use the external release function, the GAT Access 6100 requires firmware version 4.5.0 or higher (see the
GANTNER partner web page).
