A
Access Card - A card, generally the size and shape of a credit card, containing encoded data
and used for controlling access. This system uses proximity-encoded cards.
Access Control - Allowing the right person through the right doors at the right time based
on: 1) What they have, 2) What they are, and/or 3) What they know.
Access Group - A group of individuals who share common access privileges regarding
associated access points (doors) and times. The access group defines the access privileges of
the individuals. All members of an access group have identical access privileges.
Access Level - The type of access permissions assigned to a cardholder.
Access Point - A collection of card readers, zones, triggers, and door control relays
committed to the control and monitoring of the door control hardware at a single point of
passage.
Access Privileges - The rights allocated to an individual that define his/her access
capabilities. Access privileges consist of the specifications of when and where a person may
gain access or be allowed egress from a controlled area.
B
Bypass (Access Point) - When an access point is placed in Bypass mode, the locking
mechanism is unlocked, no forced-door or door-open-too-long alerts are generated, and any
requests to exit are ignored (the door is already unlocked). The access control industry also
refers to this condition as “free access”.
C
Card Reader - A device used by cardholders to identify themselves to the system. The card
reader reads the cardholder’s access card so that the access privileges of the cardholder may
be examined in order to determine if the cardholder should be allowed to pass into the
protected area.
Cardholder - An occupant of a premises who has been issued an access card or access code
thst is used to request passage through protected access points within the premises.
Committed Resource - A resource, such as a reader or relay, that is directly assigned to an
access point. The committed resource can no longer be controlled or monitored as an
individual item. A committed relay, for example, is used to control the door to which it is
assigned.
D
Door Control Hardware - The equipment installed at an access point to control the entry
and exit of cardholders. The type of door control hardware you should choose depends in part
on the level of security you want for each access point. There are many types of door control
hardware available, as well as different ways to configure them.
Door Control Relay - The door control relay is an electromechanical switch that is used to
control the flow of electricity to the door locking mechanism. The door control relay provides
a Form C dry contact set for an output. In this way, it can be used to introduce or eliminate
current flow to an external device.
Door Open Time - The amount of time that the door-locking device will be kept in the
unlocked (open) status following a valid card swipe at the card reader or RTE, unless a
relatch condition occurs.
Door Propped – The zone fault condition that is generated when a door is still open after
the sum of the door open time and the alarm timeout has been reached. This condition can
only occur when a DSM monitors the door.
