Security Checks
APEX performs a series of security checks before allowing entrance.
These checks are used to prevent unauthorized access attempts.
When a customer uses an access code, the checks are performed
as soon as the code is entered. If the customer uses a card, the
checks are performed as soon as the card has been swiped in the
magnetic stripe reader or presented to the proximity reader.
Tamper Check
The APEX performs a tamper check to see if the tamper switch
has been enabled. If the switch is enabled, APEX ensures that
the switch is secure. If both conditions are true or the tamper is
disabled, the APEX will proceed to the next security check. If the
APEX detects tampering, it will display the following message and
no further access attempts will be allowed.
* WE’RE SORRY *
THIS UNIT HAS BEEN
TAMPERED WITH
Presence Required Check
After checking the tamper, the APEX will check if the Presence
Required option has been selected. If it has been selected, the
APEX will check the input to see if a presence has been detected. If
this option has been turned off or if a presence has been detected,
the APEX will continue with the next security check.
If the APEX does not detect a required presence, it will display the
following message and no further access attempts will be allowed.
* WE’RE SORRY *
NO PRESENCE HAS BEEN
DETECTED
