The available reader settings are:

PIN entry timeout

Sets the time that you have to enter the PIN after the card has been read. By default, you have 5 seconds to enter all the PIN digits.

Reader mode

When the Unit default option is selected, the reader behaves in either Card only or Card or PIN mode, depending on the unit-wide parameters configured in the portal of the Synergis unit. For HID units, the reader behaves in Card only mode. When the Card and PIN option is selected, the reader behaves in Card and PIN mode when the selected Schedule is active. Outside of the selected schedule, the reader behaves as if you selected the Unit default option.

Camera

Camera that monitors this elevator in Security Desk.

Floors

Push button relays and inputs connected to the elevator floor buttons.

Push button relay

Output relays assigned to the different elevator floor buttons. Access granted events cause an output relay to close, which enables the button-push to request a certain floor.

Floor tracking

Inputs assigned to elevator floor buttons. When you assign inputs, Security Center can take note of which floor button was pushed.

Cameras

Cameras used to monitor the elevator door on each floor.

In the Access tab, you can configure the access rules applied to each of the elevator floor, and determine when access to the elevator floors is controlled and when free access is available.

Access rules

Exceptions

Determine if there are any exceptions to the access rule you set.

Schedule

Select a schedule when the exception applies.

Floor

Select which floors the exception applies to.

Mode

Select whether access to the elevator floor is free or controlled during the exception schedule.

In the Advanced tab, you can configure the advanced behavior of this elevator.

Grant time

How long the elevator floor button is enabled after an access granted event is generated.

Free access when the output relay is:

Normal

Floor access is granted when the access control unit output relay is de-energized. This means that a power loss results in free access to the floor.

Active

Floor access is granted when the access control unit output relay is energized. This mean that a power loss results in floor access being denied.
