General Information
To help ensure that a user has access in the rare event of a problem,
the VistaKey contains a Reduced Capability Mode (RCM), which
allows the system to operate on the card database stored in the
VistaKey. The VistaKey automatically enters RCM in the event
communication between the VistaKey and the alarm panel is lost for a
period of two or more minutes (providing that the VistaKey has power
applied). The RCM mode automatically ends within one minute after
communications are restored.
NOTE: The card database is downloaded from the alarm panel to the
VistaKey within ten minutes of leaving #79 mode, an alarm panel
download, VistaKey module powerup, or reaching 12 midnight.
Therefore, if the system should enter RCM while you are working on
the card database, it is possible that your recent changes may not
have been downloaded and the VistaKey is operating on the card
database as it existed before you started working on it.
RCM Description
When
displays the zones controlled by the VistaKey as being in "Check," and
the system grants access at the access point being controlled by the
VistaKey. While operating in RCM, the VistaKey has the following
capabilities and limitations:
On entering RCM, the door/access point is put into the
protect/normal mode regardless of the state it was in previously
(e.g., locked, bypassed, or exit only).
While in RCM, the VistaKey cannot grant a card access based on
executive privilege that it would normally inherit from its access
group assignment; however, it will do this based on executive
privilege assigned to the card itself.
