TEC Series v 3.2X
ACCESS CONTROL
1) When a resident (who has been called from a TEC) keys in a valid door tone.
2) When a valid PIN code is presented at a door that is valid and has optional clock:
a) based on the time of day.
b) based on the day of week.
c) based on whether the day of the week is a Holiday or not.
3) When a valid card number is presented at an optional door card reader which is valid:
a) based on the card reader next to the entrance chosen for access.
b) based on the time of day.
c) based on the day of week.
d) based on whether the day of the week is a Holiday or not.
4) When an entrance group is valid, using automatic un-lock and re-lock, with optional clock.
The TEC has many combinations of access control based on these criteria. This versatility can be
confusing, unless the access has been carefully defined BEFORE programming begins. The order in
which to plan for an installation should be as follows:
1. Define access area. One entrance, or up to 4?
2. Define time zones.
What times is access allowed?
For Whom is access allowed? Everybody, or different groups of people?
What days is access to be allowed?
Are the time zones the same for different days, or different for different days?
Are Holidays used, and do Holidays require different time zones?
3. Define Access levels.
What time zone is valid for a given access level?
Which door is valid for an access level?
Is more than one door valid for a time zone?
4. Define Access Groups.
What combinations of access levels are in a group?
ACCESS GROUPS
Access Groups are used to allow groups of individuals card or PIN access by assigning a level or
combination of levels to their group. Access Group Zero is predefined as an unlimited group. Group
Zero allows access 24 hours a day, ALL days of the year. Access Groups are assigned to the
individuals in the Directory. If you do not assign a Group to an individual during the directory entry,
Zero (0) is assigned by default.
Since Access Levels can have different Time Zone and entrance combinations, this creates many
combinations for control of an entrance based on PIN, Card, or time of day.
The second application for Access Groups is for automatic Unlocking (Opening) and Relocking
(Closing) Entrances. If an Access Group has no valid Access Levels assigned, it may be used to
prevent any entrance access at all.
Access Control from a TEC is based on four general sets of conditions:
Is the access group to be used for PIN codes and Cards?
Is the access group to be used for automatic un-lock and re-lock?
The menu choices in this manual follow the order in which they
appear on a TEC. These choices are in reverse order from how a
site installation is typically planned. There are tables associated
with each section. They are there to help with site planning. It is
strongly recommended they be completely filled out BEFORE
attempting any programming.
From the main menu select "6" for Access Control.
