Message
The text that describes an event and therefore that appears in the
Event List and/or an Event Report. The term "Message" and
"Event" are often regarded as the same thing.
Short term for MICROgarde
Alternative term for a MICROgarde I controller
Alternative term for a MICROgarde II controller
On-line
A controller is on-line if it has been detected by the MICROgarde
background communications software. Polling must also be
enabled for polling to occur.
On-site
If a card holder is shown as "on site" then the last reader, they used
to be set in the database to be an "on site" reader.
Off-site
If a card holder is shown as "off site" then EITHER, the last reader
they used was not set in the database to be an "on site" reader or
an operator has set the card holder as off-site. New card holders
are always shown as off site until they use an on site reader.
PIN-Only
A lower security access mode (compared with card-only), where it
is necessary only to type in a PIN (personal identification number)
at the keypad next to the reader. More than one PIN may be valid
at any time, but a PIN must be associated with a Card Holder in
order to be valid (i.e. stored in the controller’s memory). As more
than one person might know a given PIN, you cannot rely on the
name that appears in the event list as being the admitted person.
Polling
The background communications between the computer and a
controller, that collects events from the controller
menu
The menu of options that appears when you right-click an object
(e.g. reader, door, card holder) in the Main Display.
The process of causing a controller to return to its factory settings
Reader
Access
Mode
A setting that determines what is needed for the door to unlock.
Reader Access modes are: Card+PIN, PIN-only, Supervised Entry
and Anti-passback. When Card+PIN is off, then entry is by card
only. Mantrap is not a Reader Access Mode - it is a Door property.
Relay
A component of the controller that can be used to control another
piece of equipment
Refresh
The act of sending all relevant data to a controller, to ensure it has
all the information and cards (and only such information and cards)
that are currently defined in the database.
entry
A high security mode of access, where two or more card
presentations may be required before the door is unlocked.
input
An input connected to a device that uses resistance to indicate
tampering as well as the normal "open" and "closed" events
pattern
A schedule of times and days of the week that can cause changes
to relays, reader access modes or access levels
