The Sub-master levels are sometimes referred to as the Staff level.
The Section, Floor, Group, Zone and Area Sub-master levels are considered variable
address levels, since the address for each of these levels in the lock can be reassigned
using a Reset keycard in order to manage staff access.
Example:
A lock can be changed from Group 1 to Group 2 instantly by inserting a Group 2 Reset
keycard in the lock. The Guest and Restricted Area level addresses can only be changed
by programming the lock using the FDU, and are known as fixed addresses.
(See Chapter
5 – Locks – Using and Programming)
4.2.2 Authorization Keycards
The Authorization keycards grant access to specific menus of the FDU (see the FDU
Menu Chart at the back of this manual). The FDU cannot be used until a valid
Authorization keycard is swiped in the magnetic stripe encoder. Menus that are not
accessible at the Authorization level in use will not appear on the screen of the FDU.
Authorization keycards are hierarchical. The higher levels include access to all the
functions of the lower levels, as follows:

*** The POS Authorization only gives access to the Read Card Function, for setting the FDU
as a Point-of-Sale Verifier for posting charges to a guest’s account (see section 3.5.11 -
Using the FDU in POS Verifier Mode) . Although the POS Authorization uses the same
numbers as other Authorization keycards, its use will not invalidate the other keycard or
