Chapter 3: System functions

Access control

The Advisor Advanced system allows controlling user access to particular
regions using doors. There are the following types of access control functions:
• Basic access control function is controlling alarm function by shunting door
contact when an authorized user badges a valid card or enters a valid PIN, or
presses request to exit button. Such access control functions are provided
using standard doors.
See "Door shunt" on page 69 for more information on door shunts.
See also "Doors" below, "Zone shunt" on page 53.
• Advanced access control functions include anti-passback, high security
regions etc. These functions are only available while using intelligent doors,
which are controlled by door controllers (see "Door controller" below).
See also "Advanced access control functions" on page 69.
Door controller
The advanced access control functions are handled by a door controller, which is
an expander connected to the ATS system bus.
One door controller can control up to four intelligent doors.
Currently there are the following door controllers available: ATS1250, ATS125x
(ATS1251, ATS1252, ATS1253, ATS1254).
See "Expanders" on page 59 for more information on expander installation.
Doors
A door is a basic element of the access control functionality. There are two types
of doors:
• Standard door: A door with a reader or a keypad assigned to each side of the
door, and a request to exit button for an exit. Unauthorised door opening
causes an intrusion alarm. See "Basic access control functions" on page 69.
• Intelligent door: A door, which can be used for advanced access control. Such
door has up to two readers and a region assigned to each side, entry and
exit. Such doors are controlled by door controllers. See "Advanced access
control functions" on page 69.
Use menu "5 Door menu" on page 196 to configure doors.
For reader, door zone and lock outputs default addressing, see "Zone, output,
and door addressing" on page 31 in Chapter 2 "Installation".
