Manage Gate
Administrators : You can connect a timeclock to a door latch, to control
employee access to a locked building or room. To do the following, access the
Device Configuration page, and select
Bells & Gates > Gates .
• Configure the timeclock to accept gate entry punches from home employees
only, or all employees.
• Connect a remote badge reader to a device that is configured for gate entry.
You can install the reader outside the door to the building that houses the
device. The default transaction for the reader is Enter Gate.
• Configure the device to interpret a badge read as either of the following:
–
Entry only—Set up a soft key to perform this transaction.
– Entry and a simple in-punch or out-punch for a shift—The punch can also
be subject to schedule enforcement and biometric verification or
identification.
• Set up the gate schedules for a device. A gate
open
schedule is a period when
a door is unlocked, and employees can access an area without swiping their
badges. A gate
off
schedule is a period when the gate remains locked, even if
an employee performs a transaction that would otherwise unlock the gate.
Override Gate for All
Opens a door for all employees for a specified time span—without requiring them
to swipe a badge. This feature is useful when you are not restricting access to an
area.
