Before you add Security Center cardholders into
the Schindler PORT database, you must configure some settings related to
the elevator system.
What you should know
- By default, cardholders inherit the settings of their parent cardholder group. This
includes the Schindler PORT access control profile of the cardholder
group, even if the profile is left empty. Cardholders who are in multiple groups inherit
the settings from the first group on the list. However, you can override the settings for
individual cardholders.
- Assigning temporary access rules is not supported on Schindler
systems.
Procedure
-
From the homepage in Config
Tool, open
the Access control task.
-
Click the Cardholders and credentials view, select a
cardholder group, and then click the Schindler PORT
tab.
-
From the Elevator system list, select the elevator
system that you want to configure for the cardholder group.
NOTE: Configure each elevator system in the list that cardholders require access
to.
-
(Optional) To grant the cardholder group access to any floor at any time,
switch the Exempt from access rules option to
ON and click Apply.
The access rules that are defined for the Schindler PORT system do not apply to this cardholder
group.
-
From the Company name list, select the company that
applies to the cardholder group.
-
(Optional) In the Department field, enter which
department of the company the cardholder group belongs to.
-
From the Automatic destination list, select one of the
following:

- Universal
- Cardholders are brought to a specific floor and zone when they badge at a Schindler PORT terminal. When this option is selected, you
must enter the destination floor and zone.
- Specific
- Cardholders can only call an elevator from a specific floor and zone, which then
brings them to a specific floor and zone. When this option is selected, you must enter
the boarding floor and zone, and the destination floor and zone.
