Channel Interlock
This feature allows the use of both door 1 and 2 readers as an entry and exit,
interlocking the lock output to a single output for both readers.
When you use a reader on both sides of a door to monitor both entry and exit
then it is only necessary to interlock to one lock output. The EK1000 operates
the same lock output, Lock 1 for Reader 1 and Reader 2. The EK1000 does not
use Lock 2. If you use Door Monitoring and RTE, the EK1000 assigns them to
channel 1 also.

Anti-Passback
If Channel Interlock has been used, this additional feature causes the EK1000 to
monitor both the entry and exit through the secured area. When you enable Anti-
Passback, the user may enter and exit only by using their key/card each way. If
the EK1000 logs two entries attempts through a door by the same key/card
without an exit between, it will not allow access to be granted for the second
presentation of the key/card.
When you use two readers to control both entry into an area and exit out of the
area then you may set anti-passback. If a user attempts to use the key/card to
enter the area again, the EK1000 causes a
No Access; Pass Back
report on
the printer. As with Channel Interlock, Channel 1 is considered the entry reader
and Channel 2 the exit reader.
You can cause Passback to be active until the user presents a key/card to leave
the area, or you can assign a time limit, after which the user can present the
key/card to enter the area again. The time limit is useful if people are likely to
leave the area without using their keys or cards, without the time limit they would
be unable to get back in the area. This feature is often referred to a “Forgiveness
Time.”
