To enforce single passage on a door, you must add a Boolean custom field named
Turnstile to the door entity in Security Center, and set this field to TRUE on the door
where this feature is to be enforced.
Before you begin
Ensure the following:
- A device that only allows one person through at a time is installed instead of a
door.
- The door (turnstile) has a reader on only one side.
- The turnstile is equipped with a door sensor.
- (Optional) The door is equipped with an entry sensor that can reliably detect
whether a person has walked through the door or not.
What you should know
This procedure only applies to doors not controlled by Mercury units. For doors
controlled by Mercury EP or LP units, see
