Maximum Attempts Check.
The maximum attempts security check is designed to discourage
someone from attempting numbers at random to enter the site. If
the Max. Attempts before Lockout feature is set to a value other
than zero, the APEX will check to see if the user has tried a code
more than the allowed number of times. If not, the APEX will
proceed to the next security check.
If the maximum number of unsuccessful attempts has been
exceeded, the APEX will display the following message and
disable any further access attempts. The APEX will not allow any
further attempts until it has had 60 seconds without any key being
pressed. If a key is pressed while this message is displayed, the 60
second timer starts over.
* WE’RE SORRY *
PLEASE SEE THE
MANAGER
Trip Relay Offline Check
The final security check for the APEX is to check the Trip Relay
Offline option. If it is enabled, the APEX allows the access
process to continue. If it has been disabled and the APEX is not in
communication with the controller, then the APEX will display the
following message and no further access attempts will be allowed.
We’re Sorry, this
device is out of
service. Please see
the manager
After the controller has gone through its security checks, it will
verify the code and send a response to the APEX. The response
message will be displayed. The messages that can be received
from the controller vary depending on the type of response.
