About Escort Mode
Escort mode requires a supervisor escort to allow entry by an employee card
holder. In Escort mode, the reader LED changes color four times per second (usu-
ally red then green).
Table 2-5 Escort Mode LED Color Cycle
Note: Unlike Supervisor mode, the Escort mode when active cannot be disabled during its
schedule; a supervisor is required for all employee access during Escort mode
schedule.
Note: VIP cards do not need a supervisor card to gain access.
4. Enable or Disable Anti-Passback.
Note: You must enable Anti-Passback in Panel Configuration before you can enable it here.
See the Behaviour Settings section in Figure 2-10 on page 31.
Anti-Passback: When enabled, a valid card is required for entry and exit. The card
holder must use the card in the proper IN/OUT sequence—that is, a card presented
at an IN reader must then be presented at an OUT reader, or vice versa—a card pre-
sented at an OUT reader must then be presented at an IN reader.
Anti-Passback Violation: If the user's IN/OUT sequence is invalid, then an anti-
passback violation event is generated for the type of anti-passback chosen (Hard
or Soft) and the card holder is either denied access (Hard) or allowed access (Soft).
Enabled - Enables the anti-passback feature.
Note: The Hard/Soft and In/Out Anti-Passback options appear only after enabling Anti-
Passback.
Hard - Validates IN/OUT status before allowing entry. A second swipe of the card at
the same type of reader (IN/OUT) causes a
