Reader Menu - Schlage PIB300 User Manual

Reader Menu

The Reader menu lets you add new readers, delete
readers, and rename readers in the HandNet
network. You can also unlock, relock, and lockup
the selected reader, enroll a user at the selected
reader, activate and deactivate auxiliary output, and
send (download) time, time zones, users, and setup
configuration to selected readers.
To do anything here, except add a reader, you must
select one or more readers first.
Add Reader: This lets you add and configure a
reader to the HandNet network; see page 42 (you
must set up a site before you can add readers in
HandNet).
Unlock: When you highlight Unlock on the Reader menu, you see another
menu with two choices: Indefinite and Timed.
Indefinite unlocks the door connected to that reader and leaves it unlocked
until you choose Relock on the Reader menu to lock it again. If you regularly
want a door unlocked during certain hours, pick properties from the Reader
menu and go to the Configuration screen. In the Auto Unlock Time Zone you
can indicate when the door should be automatically unlocked. The program
will automatically lock the door again at the end of the time zone.
Timed unlocks the door connected to that reader and leaves it unlocked only
for the number of seconds specified on the Configuration page in the Reader
Properties (that is, it unlocks the door for the same number of seconds that
the door would be unlocked if it were opened by a reader).
See Locking and Unlocking Doors on page 130 for more about these options.
Relock: If you have unlocked a door with Unlock, Indefinite option, this locks it
again; see page 128.
Lockup: This disables the lock on the door for the selected reader. The reader
will still let users enter their ID numbers and still verify hands, but the door
will stay locked even for valid users. The door will stay locked until you choose
Unlock or Relock; see page 128.
Auxiliary Output: If an auxiliary device is connected to a reader, this lets you
turn that device on or off for the selected reader; see page 129. Auxiliary Output
can control local lighting, trigger a third party alarm system, activate a bell,
and so on.
Download: This lets you send information to the selected readers. While
HandNet automatically sends the appropriate information to readers,
occasionally you will need to use this when correcting a problem with a
reader; see Resending Information to a Reader on page 60.
