Defining Access, Tracking & Control
Areas
Access Areas
Access Areas are defined by adding entrances (doors
and readers from the control panels) to a tree
structure. An ADV must be defined for an entrance
before it is available for selection. Access Areas list
entrances and indicate where they are located. The
Access Areas are then used to define Access Levels.
Access Levels are added to cards as they are entered
into the Card database. A card must have an Access
Level, which allows the card holder entry to selected
areas during assigned times and restricts access to all
other areas and to unassigned times.
An Access Level is defined by choosing selected
entrances in an Access Area and a selected time zone
during which access is allowed.
For example, to define an Executive Access Level
having access to all doors, 24 hours a day, you would
select all entrances in the Access Areas, assign
access rights and a 24-hour, 7-day time zone. For a
Visitor Access Level, you might select the main door
between 8:00 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
Defining Access Areas
Access Areas provide a logical map of your access
control system, showing entrances (doors), and their
relative location within the system.
Once panels and readers have been defined and
added to the Device Map, you can define Access
Areas by creating branches on a tree structure and
adding entrances to those branches. Branches can
also have sub-branches.
Access Areas are ultimately used to define Access
Levels.
