SECTION 4: MASTER FILE ENTRY 4-19
Passback Area. Optional. This field is used to indicate if passback is in effect for this zone.
Enter P if personnel passback is used, V if vehicle passback is used, N if passback is not
used. The default is N.
Passback Type. Required if passback (field #3) is either P (personnel) or V (vehicle) for this
zone. Enter H for hard passback; S for soft passback. Hard passback prevents access if
already in the zone; soft passback allows access and generates a passback violation
message. There is no default for this field.
Passback Level. Required if passback (field #3) is either P (personnel) or V (vehicle) for
this zone. Enter G for global (host-controlled); L for local (ACU-controlled). There is no
default for this field.

AREAS [areaentr], [areaentr1]

For reporting purposes only, passback zones may be grouped into areas. Reporting (keyholder
zone report) may be by zone or area, with the area report listing the zones contained in each area.
Assign a number and optional description for the area using [areaentr]; enter the applicable zone
numbers in [areaentr1]. Note that for local passback zones, ensure that both in and out readers
are controlled by the same ACU. A sample screen showing [areaentr] and [areaentr1] follows:

POLLERS [pol_entr]

IMPORTANT
The pollers and poller parameter files discussed below are normally installed and tested at the
factory or by your dealer. Please consult your dealer or WSE customer support before adding,
changing, or deleting poller information.
Pollers are device-specific application programs that communicate with the ACUs and the input
/ output controllers, and in addition to providing these communication links they perform many
other tasks. For example, the pollers make access decisions, report devices that are not
responding, and provide the means to reload devices with system and key data as necessary.
