2.1.2 Network System (with CPR32-SE)
When controllers operate in a system equipped with CPR-32SE unit, users can be divided into 250
different Access Groups and be assigned to Schedules. CPR-32SE also provides event buffer, real
time clock and calendar plus global type functionalities like Alarm Zones and Global Anti-passback.
Also Access Zones can be specified by administrator. PC is required only for programming and
management of such Network System.

2.1.3 Network System (without CPR32-SE)
In such configuration, PC and PR Master software in monitoring mode can emulate CPR32-SE
network controller. Therefore it is possible to assign users to particular Groups, Schedules and
Access Zones as well as define Door Modes and Identification Modes. The same pertains to such
global functions as Zone Alarms and APB Zones. Mentioned functionalities are available only if PC is
hardwired to communication interface, is always on and PR Master software is in monitoring mode.
In case of PC failure or PC turn off, access controllers automatically switch to Autonomous
(Standalone) Mode and continue their operation based on the settings available prior to failure/PC
disconnection. After recovery of communication with PC, access controllers automatically switch to
Network Mode and realize previously suspended functions, including Schedules.
