Priority 1 is Highest Priority Alarm
This setting enables 1 to be the highest priority alarm. It then displays at the top of the
Alarm Queue window regardless of when it was received. When unchecked “16” is the
highest priority alarm and displays at the top of the Alarm Queue.
Note: The default for this field is unchecked (16 is the highest priority). This should
be kept in mind when assigning priorities to alarm points. See
Anti-Passback
Set this to Enabled if Anti-Passback is used by Topaz.
• Disabled - Default. The Anti-Passback feature is not used.
• Enabled - The Anti-Passback feature is used and you are presented with the
choice for Grant Access on APB Violation.

.
Grant Access on APB Violation
This field is only accessible if you select Enabled for the Anti-Passback field.
• Unchecked - Any card swipe that activates an APB violation results in the
cardholder being denied access and triggers an alarm APB violation event. The
alarm event notifies the security operator, who may want to send somebody to
that security area.
• Checked - Any card swipe that activates an APB violation results in the
cardholder being allowed access and triggers an APB violation event. This is not
normally used, but may be helpful for testing Topaz.
