Site Settings Page
The Site Settings page allows you to configure various settings applicable to your site.
To navigate to the Site Settings page, from any Setup page click the Site Settings tab button at the
top of the window, or from the main Setup Page click the Site Settings button on the right side of the
screen. The following page displays.
Figure 133.Site Settings
The Site Settings page contains the following information:
Grant Access on Duress The default is no selection, meaning no access is granted if the cardholder generates
a Duress alarm with the PIN. A cardholder uses the Duress feature by swiping the
card (which tells the system the card number) and then enters the PIN number with
five added to it. For example, if the PIN is 1234, the Duress PIN would be 1239.
If you wish to allow access when the cardholder causes a Duress Alarm (providing the
cardholder would normally be authorized access to the area), then click the box next
to the selection, to place an X in it.
For more information, see
Duress on page 391.
Invalid PIN Attempts Before Alarm Set the number of times (1 through 9) a cardholder may enter the wrong PIN before
the alarm “ACCESS DENIED - WRONG KEYPAD - TOO MANY ATTEMPTS” is
generated. The default for this field is 3.
Note: The system is set to generate an alarm every time a wrong PIN is entered. If
you do not want an alarm for each wrong PIN, modify a different alarm on the
Reader Events page (see
page page 187). Select “ACCESS DENIED -
WRONG KEYPAD” and in the field beside Acknowledgment select “NO”.
