SECTION 4: MASTER FILE ENTRY

 

 

FAILSOFT ENTRY

708P ACUs can be programmed to recognize up to 25 keyholders (based on key numbers) for use when communication with the host computer is temporarily unavailable. Known as failsoft, the feature becomes active (access is granted) for these keyholders after 15 seconds following the occurrence of the communications interruption (response is not available for specific time periods, however). A sample screen follows:

Device ID. Required (zoom available). Enter the device ID for which failsoft is to be assigned

(the readers associated with the 708P automatically display).

Keyholder ID. Required (zoom available). Enter the applicable keyholder ID (keyholder name automatically displays).

Allowed. Optional. Enter Y or N as appropriate for the individual keyholder. Default is N.

PROJECT ENTRY [prj_entr], [prd_entr]

This is designed primarily for high security facilities. Project is used to grant temporary access to selected keyholders at project-controlled doors when a project is activated, while access for all

other keyholders who normally enter through these doors is temporarily denied. The projects are

continually monitored by the system and are updated as project status changes from activated to deactivated, and vice versa. This is a host function that must be used only if normal access is

through host access codes. A sample [prj_entr] screen follows:
