11.
Click [Save] to accept the network configuration changes.
A message will appear to indicate that the System Controller must be rebooted to apply the
changes to the network configuration.
12.
Click [Save Changes].
The System will reboot. Any users that are currently logged in will lose their connection and
must log in again. If the IP address of the System Controller changed, update any IPSDCs in the
System to recognize the new IP address. See
Using the ICT to Configure IPSDCs
Configuring Security
The Security tab of the System Administration > System Settings page can be used to configure
certain aspects pertaining to the physical security of a facility.
PIN Codes
The System can be configured for access with a credential only, a credential and Personal
Identification Number (PIN), PIN only, or PIN or credential. Requiring people to present a badge
(credential) and type a PIN code provides added security by preventing access with a found or stolen
badge. Readers can be configured to Credential Only, Credential and PIN, PIN Only, or PIN or
Credential based on schedules. (See
Scheduling Door and Reader Behavior
on page 49.) Note: In PIN
Only mode, all PINS in the system must be unique.
Max PIN Length
PINs can be 4, 6, or 9 digits in length.
Max PIN Attempts
Allows person a set number of chances to enter their PINs correctly.
PIN Lock Out Time
If a person enters an incorrect PIN too many times, the credential ID will be prevented from
access at that reader for the length of time specified by this option. After the Lock Out Time has
elapsed, the credential ID will have access privileges restored.
Door Fallback Mode
Credential information is stored on the System Controller. If a dual door controller loses
communication with the System Controller, credentials scanned at a reader cannot be verified. In such
a case, the door controller must validate access requests if anyone is to enter the facility.
Note:
IPSDCs have a separate fallback mode.
Input EOL Terminations
Doors can be wired to detect if they are open or closed, forced entry, and tampering. Such a door is
said to be supervised. A door without such detection circuits is said to be unsupervised, even if it has
a reader and door strike or magnetic lock. For supervised doors, this option describes the type of
resistor(s) used and how the circuit is wired. There are two main types that are monitored: 1,000 Ohm
and 4,700 Ohm circuits. These can be wired with dual resistors, or with a single resistor wired in
series or parallel relative to the door sensor.
Note:
IPSDCs support only 1K/Dual supervision, as configured by setting switches on the
panel. Refer to the IP-based Single Door Controller Quick Reference for details.
