information to log the data. Ideally each cardholder should
have a unique PIN code. This feature is only enabled when
the cardholder has a time zone with the PIN ONLY attribute
set. When the time zone is active the cardholder can simply
enter his code to gain access. When the time zone has
elapsed, card and PIN are required.
PIN Pad Only Duress code
The Duress code is now activated by keying in the code
followed by the hash key (#) on the PIN pad. The Duress code
is also activated by incrementing the last digit of your code by
1. For example, if your code is 1234, you can activate Duress
by keying in 1235.
Access Node Stand-alone mode – PIN only
In stand-alone mode, access is permitted through doors with
keypads, using a system PIN code only. This system PIN code
defaults to 1020, but may be changed from the SETUP
CARDS, SITE CODE menu on the panel.
Note:
PIN pad only operation is configurable using
3GS+.
The Access Node will store 300 log events when in stand-
alone mode.
Cards and Stand-Alone Operation
Operating the Node in stand-alone mode – that is, when not
connected to the Ringnet – will affect its ability to read cards in
the following ways:
•
Unstructured Cards will not be recognised.
•
The node will support structured cards of numbers 1 to
10,000 only.
If a card had been presented to the reader and granted access
while comms. were operating, the node will keep this
information in memory. When in standalone mode, the Access
Control Node will continue to grant access to this card. If
access was denied while comms. were operating, the
standalone node will deny access accordingly.
Door Outputs
The system features two outputs specific to doors. These are:
Door Forced
Forcing a door will cause a door forced output to trigger
(specific to the door, if assigned), the door description to be
displayed, and a keypad buzzer to sound in the relevant areas
(local alarm only).
If a door is programmed with a zone type, then a door forced
will cause execution of a zone command string – that is, if the
system is set/armed, a full alarm will result.
If a door is inhibited, the ‘door forced’ and ’door left open’
conditions are still monitored for access control but will not
cause an alarm.
To remove a door zone which is generating false alarms, the
door should be disabled until the door zone is fixed (Installer
code plus SHIFT NO).
Door Left Open
Leaving a door open too long will cause a door left open
output to trigger (specific to the door, if assigned), the door
description to be displayed, and a keypad buzzer to sound in
the relevant areas (local alarm only).
Door timers are setup or changed using 3GS+ software.
4-Door Enhanced Access Control Node
The 3GS 4 Door Access Control node is an enhanced Access
Node with a 4-door, 2-zone capacity. The Enhanced Access
Node provides 8 relay outputs, 4 of which control the 4 door
locks, with the other 4 being programmable system outputs.
Other features of the Enhanced Node include on-board
ferrites for improved Ringnet noise immunity, 5V and 12V
outputs with resettable PTZ fuses to power card readers, and
an upgradeable flash memory chip.
