7.6 Configure Linkage Actions for Access
Control
You can configure different linkage actions for the event detected
by the access control device. After that, linkage actions will be
triggered once the event happens. This mechanism is used for
notifying the security personnel the event, or triggering
automatic access control in real time.
Two types of linkage actions are supported:
• Client Actions: When the event is detected, it will trigger the
actions on the client, such as the client making an audible
warning..
• Device Actions: When the event is detected, it will trigger the
actions of a specific device, such as buzzing of a card reader
and, opening/closing of a door, ..
7.6.1 Configure Client Actions for Access Event
Even if you are far away from an access point, you can still know
what happens and how urgent the event is by configuring linked
actions of access event on the client. You will be notified on the
client once an event is triggered, so that you can response to the
event instantly. You can also configure client actions of access
points in a batch at a time.
