To program users to a certain timezone, you
must
first
set the user timezone mask in command 32, parameter
5. Each user added after this parameter is set is as-
signed to that timezone. If you want to assign users to
several different timezones, you
must
change parame-
ter 5 prior to adding each user.
Take care using parameter 5 since it is an 8-bit number,
and each timezone equals a certain bit value as follows:
•
TZ1 = 1
•
TZ2 = 2
•
TZ3 = 4
•
TZ4 = 8
•
TZ5 = 16
•
TZ6 = 32
•
TZ7 = 64
•
TZ8 = 128
To program a user to multiple timezones, add up the
number of each timezone. For example: To add a user
to timezones 1, 2, and 8, enter 131 (1 + 2 + 128 = 131)
in parameter 5. Entering a value of 255 sets the user
to 24 hours, which means you cannot assign a user to
all eight (8) timezones. To set a timezone as auto-un-
lock, you
must
set the auto-unlock timezone mask
using command 38. Example:
38 # autz # 1 # **
(autz=auto-unlock timezone (1-8). Entering 1 sets the
timezone as auto-unlock and a 0 clears it.)
4.4.2.A Midnight Crossing TimeZones
The prox.pad plus unit supports “midnight crossing
timezones,” which is always enabled. This means a
timezone can cross the midnight boundary. For exam-
ple: A timezone can start at 11:00 P.M. and end at 7:00
A.M.
