1 Security Center requires an entry sensor to accurately detect entry into an area. In the absence of the entry sensor, Security Center uses the door sensor, and the Entry detected event is generated when the door sensor is triggered. In the absence of both sensors, Security Center generates the Entry assumed event when access is granted.
2 The Reader buzzer behavior options are only supported with online operations.
3 The Synergis unit must be connected to the Access Manager.
4 Not recommended for Card-In/REX-Out doors because a cardholder's presence in the area cannot be verified.
5 The zone inputs must not be configured on a door.6 Readerless doors are only supported in online mode.
7 For doors to sync correctly to the DDS controller, there must be one reader configured for each request to exit on the door. For example, you can configure a two-reader door with two requests to exit without issues, but if you configure a one-reader door with two requests to exit, the door does not work correctly.8 The DDS door held open timer is limited to 75 seconds and only applies in five-second intervals rounded down. The reader buzzer never beeps if set to zero seconds. After 3/4 of the programmed door held open timer elapses, a pre-alarm beep starts, and then turns into a long beep at the door held open time. This pre-alarm is always enabled for DDS controllers.
9 When configuring the reader buzzer for door forced open and door held open, enabling it for one enables it for the other, regardless of what is configured for the other.
