MC16 Operating Manual 09.01.2020
Power Supplies
Power Supply is a logical object representing physical power supply unit of MC16 controller or other external
device. Inputs and Outputs which are configured on the level of Power Supply are mainly used to monitor its
status.
Access Credentials and Access Users
In RACS 5 system an Access User can be assigned with multiple Access Credentials. Access Credential is
a logical object which includes Authorisations (e.g. access rights at Access Door) which define user rights
and it includes Authentication Factors (e.g. cards) which are used to identify user in the system. Single
MC16 controller supports up to 8192 Access Credentials.
Area General
Text box Name – enables to name the credential.
Parameter Group – enables to assign the credential to special group such as Visitor or Guest.
Parameter Belongs to – enables to assign the credential to Access User or Access User Group.
Parameter Valid from – specifies starting date and time for credential validity in the system.
Parameter Valid to – specifies ending date and time for credential validity in the system.
Area Additional Options
Parameter Status – specifies credential status. Available values:
Active – Access Credential is valid in the system.
Inactive – Access Credential is invalid in the system.
Parameter Thread Level – specifies credential access level. If credential’s Thread Level is lower than
Access Point’s Thread Level then access is denied regardless of credential Authorisations.
Parameter Elevator Call Type – specifies type of elevator calling in case of integration with Kone
Destination system elevators. Therefore the parameter is used only in case of MC16-EVK controllers.
Tab Exemptions
Option Master Exemption – when the option is enabled then the credential includes all possible
Authorisations on the level of access controller.
Option Anti-passback Exemption – when the option is enabled then the credential is not affected by anti-
passback rules on the level of Access Zones.
Option Occupancy Count Exemption – when the option is enabled then the credential is not recorded in
occupancy register and consequently is not taken into account on the level of Access Zone registers and
counters.
Option Occupancy Count Limit Exemption – when the option is enabled then the credential is not affected
by occupancy limits on the level of Access Zones.
Option Perimeter Zone Exemption – when the option is enabled then the credential is not affected by limits
on the level of Perimeter Zones.
Tab Description
Enables to enter custom description for the credential.
Authentication Factors
Authentication Factor is an element for user identification and logging at Access Points. Typical factors are
proximity cards, PINs, fingerprints, car license plates, NFC and BLE electronic keys. Authentication Factors
are defined and assigned on the level of Access Credentials.
Authentication Policies
Authentication Policy includes Authentication Steps which define Authentication Factor Types for user
identification at Access Point. Default Authentication Policy is Card or PIN. Other pre-programmed policies
e.g. Card and PIN are available and it is possible to define own policy as well.
Area General
Text box Name – enables to name the policy.
Option Enabled – when the option is enabled then the policy is valid in the system.
