DATABASE MENU ACTWinPro
This option instructs the controller to show the current status of each door on its
LCD display. Normally when all doors are closed, the display shows only the
current date and time. When the status of a door changes, it will be shown
periodically on the display until it reverts to normal. This option is enabled by
default.
Show events
This option instructs the controller to show all events on its LCD display as they
occur. The event is displayed for 2 seconds or until superseded by another
event. This option is enabled by default.
Log to local printer
This option instructs the controller to log events to a locally connected serial
printer as they occur. The events that are logged may be defined in the Event
Options Page.
Printer handshake
Normally information is transmitted to a locally connected serial printer on a "fire-
and-forget" basis. This enables the use of a very simple serial cable (TX and 0V
only) that is suitable for most printers. The printer handshake option requires the
use of an additional ready signal into the RX pin of the controller and suspends
printing when the printer is disconnected or is out of paper. However the location
and availability of such a signal may vary according to the make and model of
printer used, so it is not enabled by default.
Keypad release
On an ACT1000 controller, this option allows the use of the "yes" button on the
keypad as a request-to-exit (egress) switch. Typically this is used when the
controller is placed adjacent to the door, removing the need for an external
switch.
External PINpad
On an ACT1000 controller, the controller's onboard keypad is used by default for
PIN Only and PIN & Swipe operation. This option instructs the controller to
activate an external keypad (ACT20) whenever a PIN is required. Note that in
PIN only operation, the X key must be pressed to activate an external keypad
before entering a PIN.
Auxiliary Door
On some versions of ACT1000 controller, it is possible to use a second reader to
control an additional door. The second reader is configured as normal for an exit
reader. When this option is set, instead of firing the normal door relay in
response to a read on the second reader, the controller fires the open collector
output OP2. An external relay may be connected to this output to control the
additional door.
