Duress Detect Enabled – Enables the user to trigger an alarm or output
device in times of duress, such as when the operator is
forced to grant access against his will to an unauthorized
person. This feature is available only when the reader is
configured with a “Card and Pin” access mode (see
Reader Tab , page 21 ).
When this feature is enabled, you can configure an
auxiliary output with a pulse time and connect it to a
device with an interlock (see “
Outputs Tab “ on page 46
for the output configuration).
During normal operation, the duress output does nothing.
To energize the output, the cardholder presents his card to
a reader that is configured for Card and PIN access (see
“
Reader Tab “ on page 21). The cardholder then enters a
PIN that is either one number higher or one number
lower than his correct PIN. For example, if his PIN is
2222, the cardholder would enter either 2221 or 2223.
Even though the PIN is incorrect, the door will still open
normally, but the duress output pulses and an alarm is
generated. In this way, the cardholder notifies others
without detection by the unauthorized person.
Continuous Card Reads Enabled – Enables continuous card reading while the
output is being energized. When this option is not
enabled, a reader will not be able to read a second card
during the pulsing of the output caused by the previous
card read.
Reader LEDs Identifies the color of a reader LED when a grant is
authorized.
Cardholder Note 2 Specifies any information field you might want to put on
a card. For example, if you enter “Phone Number” here, a
field labeled “Phone Number” appears on the card. The
user who creates the card would then enter the
cardholder’s telephone number. See
Adding New Cards ,
page 36 .
Card Use Types Visitor Cards (limited days) – Specifies a card for a
visitor that can be used only a limited number of days.
The specified period begins at the time the card is
created. If you select this option,
Limited-Use Cards
– Specifies a card that can be used
only a limited number of times.
Neither – Specifies all cards other than visitor or
limited-use cards.
