3.6.9. FDU Time-outs
The time-out is the period of time between operations during which the Front Desk
Unit remains authorized, before returning to the main screen and requiring the swipe
of a new authorization keycard or PIN.
As long as the FDU remains authorized, it can make keycards or access any other
function available to the Authorization keycard that was last used. Once timed out,
an Authorization keycard must be swiped or a PIN entered again to access any
functions of the FDU.
The timeouts should be set to relatively short values, except for special situations
requiring a longer "grace period", such as programming a number of locks in sequence
or performing a Hotel Restart. The Front Desk Unit time-out selection varies as
described below.
Bellman's Authorization:
Time-out occurs automatically after each encoded keycard.
Front Desk, Master, Programming, and General Manager Authorization:
Time-out can be up to 20 minutes. To avoid illicit/unauthorized usage of the FDU by
someone other than intended users, it is recommended to set time-outs to a low value.
Swipe a GMA keycard, press 7, 2, 3 and 2
2 minutes for all time-outs
Select each timeout, and enter the number of minutes desired with the keypad. Press
< > to save the settings.
3.6.10. Current Time (DST adjustment)
