PC System Operator Classifications
Three types of operators can use and operate the E-Plex Advanced ACS software.
• Level 1 Operator – The E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 has one Level 1 Operator who is the
Master Operator with the highest system authorization. Unless additional operators are
added, this is the only person who can manage the system software. The Level 1
Operator has access to all functions of the E-Plex Advanced ACS software.
The Level 1 Operator can add Level 2 or Level 3 Operators to the E-Plex Advanced ACS
software. When an operator is added to the software, the Level 1 Operator must establish
a Logon Password. The Level 1 Operator can add a maximum of six operators to the
software: three Level 2 Operators and three Level 3 Operators.
• Level 2 Operator – Level 2 Operators can perform all functions of Level 1 Operators,
with the exception of adding, modifying, or deleting any other operators.
• Level 3 Operator – Level 3 Operators can perform all functions of Level 1 Operators,
with the exception of:
o Adding, modifying, or deleting any other operators.
o Having access to the System Setup menu in the software.
PINs
The E-Plex Advanced ACS features a variable length PIN (code or combination). A PIN can
be four to eight digits in length. Regardless of the length, a PIN will always be unique to a
given user. The default PIN length for all user types is four digits, except for the Master User
PIN, which is always eight digits in length. The default length of the User PIN can be changed
during the system setup at the PC. PIN lengths cannot be mixed for different types of users,
and they must all be the same—anywhere from four to eight digits in length.
Door Groups
You can define an unlimited amount of door groups in both the system database and the
lock.
A door group represents a group of physical doors that contain the E-Plex 5200 and/or the E-
Plex 5700 locks.
Access Schedules
You can define an unlimited amount of Access Schedules in the system database. However,
you can define only up to 16 access schedules in a lock. When assigning access schedules
to a user, you may only use the access schedules that have been assigned to the lock. There
is a default access schedule, “Always” (24 hours per day, seven days per week), that is built
into the system software and cannot be changed or deleted.
An access schedule is a defined time period during the span of a week during which users
are granted access to a door. Operators using the E-Plex Advanced ACS software at the PC
define the access schedules by selecting the days of the week that the schedule is active,
and by specifying the schedule’s start time and end time for the days specified. You can
define a descriptive schedule name for each access schedule. Once defined, you can assign
access schedules to a door from the Access Assignment menu of the software. A maximum
of 16 access schedules can be assigned to a single door.
