You can set a second host for visitor delegations to turnstile-accessible areas. This feature lets you set one host at the head of a delegation and the other to tail the visitors. For a delegation with a set limit, a second host is required if the visitor number exceeds that limit.
What you should know
- This procedure applies to visitor escort for turnstiles in delegation
mode.NOTE: Delegation mode is not to be confused with single passage enforcement mode. For more information about this mode, see the Synergis Softwire Single Passage Enforcement Technote.
- A delegation consists of one or two hosts and one or more visitors.
- If your visitor delegation is at its configured limit for a single host, adding an additional visitor will trigger the warning "Single host visitor limit exceeded. Assign a different host or add a second one," and require you to either start a new delegation or to assign a second host to the expanded delegation.
