To secure floors and landings, and to configure which destinations are available from
certain sources, you must set access levels in the Elevator security
levels task in Security Center.
What you should know
- A secured floor marking is accessible only to authorized cardholders. An
unsecured floor marking can be accessed by all.
- The Elevator security levels task is available in both
Config
Tool and Security
Desk.
Procedure
-
From the home page in Config
Tool
or Security
Desk, open the
Elevator security levels task.
-
From the entity browser, select the destination group or floor landings that
you want to configure.
-
From the Default access options, select
Inherits, Secured, or
Unsecured.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you set default access to floors to
Secured for both floor and car kiosks, as you can
use overrides and schedules to unsecure the floor at specific times. Default
access to a floor should only be set to Unsecured
when it is intended for the floor to be unsecured at all times, as it is not
possible to secure a floor using access control schedules or
overrides.
-
In the Access schedules section, click
Add (
).
The Access level window opens.
-
Configure the settings in the Access levels window:
- Name
- Enter a name for this access level.
- Source
- Select the kiosk from which the rule is applied. You can also set
the source to Any, which will set the rule
for all kiosks.
- Schedule
- Select the schedule to determine when this rule is inactive.
- Access
- Select Unsecured to provide open access
during the scheduled time.
NOTE: An access rule specified for a specific kiosk is given priority over a
rule specified for Any kiosk. If specific kiosks and
any kiosks are the same, priority is given to a secured schedule over an
unsecured schedule.
-
Click OK.
-
(Optional) Repeat steps 2 to 6 to add more rules to the floor or landing.
NOTE: You can have multiple rules active at the same time. For example, an
unsecured Always rule and a secured Only during Weekdays rule. When rules
overlap, schedule conflict rules apply.
For more on schedule conflicts,
see About schedules.
-
Configure manual
overrides.
NOTE: The override with the shortest time frame is given priority over other
overrides. If the time frames of overrides match, a secured overrider takes
priority over an unsecured override.

Click Apply.
