Reader feedback

Readers use LEDs and beepers to send feedback messages to the user (the person accessing or trying to access the door). The door
controller can trigger a number of feedback messages, some of which are preconfigured in the door controller and supported by
most readers.
Readers have different LED behaviors, but typically they use different sequences of steady lights and flashing lights in red, green, and
amber.
Readers can also use one-pitch beepers to send messages, using different sequences of short and long beeper signals.
