HPP-100 Hand-Held Programmer
Revision 3.3 38
Glossary
anti-passback — Ensures one-card/one-way access into and then out of a controlled area. An
authorized card presented to the access reader will allow access, but will not work again
for access until presented to the egress reader.
card — A small electro-mechanical device that has a unique electro-magnetic signature. Cards
are programmed to grant access and egress to an access control system.
event — A programming change, an alarm condition, an access, or an egress that occurred at a
control unit. Synonomous with transaction.
Favorite Reader List (FRL) — A list of readers on the access control system that are
programmed to be treated equally. Commands sent to any reader on the list affect all
readers on the list.
global commands — Programming commands that apply to the master control unit and to all
slave units on the system.
master reader — The reader attached to the master control unit. Typically, this reader controls
the primary access point for the system. See reader.
memory module — A device used to transfer data between control units when there is no direct
connection between the units. A memory module has 32 Kbytes of non-volitile memory for
storing card and event data.
non-global commands — Programming commands that apply only to the control units on the
Favorite Reader List or are directed to a specific control unit.
non-privileged card — A card that is above a designated slot boundary number, thereby not
granted the ability to remotely arm an alarm panel. See security fence.
Personal Identification Number (PIN) — A code number that is used to limit access to the
programming commands for control units on a system. A user must enter the correct PIN
before the system will enter the programming mode.
privileged card — A card that is at or below a designated slot boundary number, thereby granted
the ability to remotely arm an alarm panel. See security fence.
programming reader — A secondary reader connected in parallel with the master reader. It is
located beside the master control unit to assist in enrolling cards or in programming the
network if a PC is not used. See reader.
reader — An electro-magnetic device that “reads” a unique signature from a card.
security fence — Allows a privileged card to be used to remotely arm or disarm an alarm panel.
Privileged cards are allowed access at the armed alarm panel, non-privileged cards may
be programmed to have access at the alarm panel, but will cause an alarm event.
slot — A list of information that applies to a specific card. This list includes the slot’s identification
number, the card’s unique number code, and the time zone that applies to that card. (In a
PC programmed system, more information is applied to a slot, allowing for the
identification and categorization of the individual the card is assigned to.)
time zone — A defined block of time that is assigned to a card to allow access. A time zone
consists of a zone identification number, a beginning time, an ending time, and a
calculated value that defines the days of the week that should be applied to this time
zone.
transaction — A programming change, an alarm condition, an access, or an egress that
occurred at a control unit. Synonymous with event.
