Setup Zones
BioStar allows you to provide sophisticated access control with multiple zones.
Zones can be used to control the behavior of devices, doors, and other
components. In addition, zones can be configured to provide different types of
restrictions, such as anti-passback, timed anti-passback, and entrance limits.
The sections below describe how to determine which zones to use and how to
add and configure zones.
3.4.1 Determine Which Zones to Use
In total, the BioStar system supports five types of zones:
•
Access zone
- Use this zone to synchronize user or log information. If you
select the user synchronization option, user data enrolled at the devices will
be automatically propagated to other connected devices. If you select the log
synchronization option, all log records will be written to the master device (in
addition to the server), so that you can check log records of member devices.
For information about customizing access zones, see section 5.3.5.
