Configuring Behavior Settings
In the Behavior Settings section of Panel Configuration, you can enable/disable the
following:
•
Anti-Passback–When enabled, a valid card is required for entry and exit. The card
holder must use the card in the proper IN/OUT sequence—that is, a card presented at
an IN reader must then be presented at an OUT reader, or vice versa—a card
presented at an OUT reader must then be presented at an IN reader.
• Free Egress–Configures the panel for free egress. When enabled (Default), the panel
automatically configures inputs 1and 9 to act as egress inputs for Doors 1 and 2,
respectively. If disabled, those inputs 1 and 9 can be used as general inputs.
• Detect Duress–Configures the output that triggers when a card holder enters a
duress PIN at a keypad/card reader. A duress PIN is the PIN a user enters at a keypad
when being forced (for example, during a robbery) to open a door. The card holder
enters a PIN that is either one number higher or lower than the correct PIN. This PIN
opens the door, but it also triggers the designated duress output and produces an
alarm event.
For example, if the PIN is 2222, entering either 2221 or 2223 opens the door, but
triggers a duress pulse and generates an alarm. In this way, the card holder notifies
others without detection by the unauthorized person.
Note A PIN ending in 0 (for example, 2320) will only trip a duress output when a 1
is used in place of the 0 (for example, 2321).
