3.3.3

PC decision required

During this mode the decision to grant access is transferred to an attendant. Using
the PC the attendant grants or denies access. Only valid cards assigned with the
PC decision requirement are able to make this type of access request.
3.3.4

Facility code

Access cards consist of two codes; facility code and card code. The facility code
mode is designed for new installations where access cards are not programmed
into the database. When the facility mode is enabled, cards with same facility
code are granted access.
Facility card codes prevent the same card from being used at a different location
or facility. The facility code is set to any value from 0 to 4294967294 and is used
when the card is configured to operate in facility code mode. The default is 0.
If there is no card code data, the door is unlocked for the same period of time that
as that of the standard door unlock timer. This mode is configured for each access
point.
Another mode allows you to ignore the card facility code. When the 'ignore the
card facility code' is enabled, the facility code is ignored.
3.3.5

Card + Pin

This mode provides another level of security during certain parts of the day.
During this mode not only a valid card is required for access but also a 4 digit pin
code. The pin code is 4 digits long and is programmed for each card.
