IPAC Server Administrator's Manual
Special Options for Devices: Guard Tour
NOTE :
Guard Tour requires a license key. Without the license key, Guard
Tour functionality will be disabled.
The Guard Tour feature allows administrators to assign series of readers to act as tour stops
that must be visited at an established interval. Guard Tour allows any reader from any
device to be utilized in one or more tours. The Guard Tour feature sends alarm messages to
the Dashboard if the tour is not successfully completed. Guard Tour also allows relays to be
activated if a tour stop is overdue, which can be linked to, for example, a buzzer or flashing
light.
Individual stops on a tour can be controlled and may be activated or deactivated as needed,
and guard tours can be subject to both assigned schedules and threat levels.
