Table 4.2.1: Entry keycards
Each lock is programmed with the access levels that apply to the specific door it controls
(see also section 5.3 – Programming Locks and Remote Access Controllers). The lock
accepts Entry keycards if their date and time stamp is valid, if they have not expired, and
if their Room, Sub-Master or Master level address matches the addresses programmed in
the lock.
The Master level address is the same for all locks, so that it gives access to all doors
throughout the property. The security of the Master level is provided by controlling the
encoding and distribution of the keycards, and by the presence of the audit trail. Master
and Sub-master level keycards should be treated like master keys in a mechanical key
system.
Suggestions on how to use these levels are given in the following sections of the manual:
