Setting Description
Duress Output Configures the output that will trip when a card holder
enters a "duress PIN" at a keypad/card reader. A duress PIN
is the PIN a user enters at a keypad when being forced (for
example, during a robbery) to open a door. The card holder
enters a PIN that is either one number higher or lower than
the correct PIN. This PIN opens the door, but it also triggers
the designated duress output and produces an alarm event.
For example, if the PIN is 2222, the card holder would enter
either 2221 or 2223. Even though the PIN is incorrect, the
door will still open normally, but the duress output pulses
and an alarm is generated. In this way, the card holder
notifies others without detection by the unauthorized
person.
Note
a duress output when a 1 is used in place of the 0 (for
example, 2321).
The duress output feature requires the following:
