5.1.n.9 Regions & AP
The menu contains door options connected to region control and anti-passback.
5.1.n.9.1 Regions
Use the menu to assign regions to readers.
First, select the appropriate reader. Next, choose a region the reader belongs to.
The list of regions allows you to add a new region. The add region menu is equal
to the menu in “5.3 Regions” described on page 216.
See Chapter 3 “System functions > Regions” on page 69 for details.
5.1.n.9.2 Anti-passback
Controls the operation of the door if a card or PIN is used to attempt to enter the
region that the user is currently assigned to. The following options are available:
• No AP: No control of passback.
• Soft anti-passback: A valid card or PIN opens the door when used to enter
the region the second time without leaving first, but a report is generated.
• Hard anti-passback. A valid card or PIN does not open the door when used to
enter the region a second time without leaving first. An attempt to do so
generates a report.
• Regions anti-passback. A valid card or PIN does not open the door when
used to leave a region other than the one entered previously. For example, if
the user had entered region 2 from region 1, he will be denied when trying to
enter region 1 from region 0. An attempt to do so generates a report.
See Chapter 3 “System functions > Anti-passback” on page 69 for details.
5.1.n.9.3 Inh Reg 1 Usr
For users in region 1 (on most occasions is “outside”), a special security feature
is available to provide access only via another region. If the option is set to yes,
any user in region 1 will be denied access. To access, the user first has to be in
another region.
