Advanced Controller Settings 

The screen below lets you configure the advanced settings of a door controller. The table below outlines the definition of all of the advanced options. Available options may vary based on door controller hardware and firmware versions. 

8-Bit Variable Length PIN - If an 8-bit burst PIN pad is installed at the door, this setting defines how many PIN digits the controller will look for. Example: For a 7-digit PIN, check Enable and set Length to 7. 

Events Download Limit - How many audit events from the controller to download at a time. "0" means continue downloading events until there are no more events left. 

Timing - These options configure the timing for certain events at the door. 

Latch Interval - This is the default latch interval for the controller. This is how long the controller will remain unlocked when a valid card is presented. 

Multi Credential Timeout - Defines how long to wait for the second credential when the first of a multi authentication credential set is presented. 

TTL Interval - How long to hold TTL when it is triggered. (Available in FW 7.03 or higher.)


TTL1/TTL2 Switches

The controllers have two output signals, TTL1 and TTL2. These are normally held high at 5 volts when they are not activated. When they are activated, they drop to zero volts. They are frequently tied into alarm systems.

  • TTL2 on REX -  The TTL2 on REX setting will cause the TTL2 signal to be activated if a REX signal is detected. 
  • TTL2 on Unauthorized Open - Active TTL2 signal if an Unauthorized Open Alarm is activated. 
  • TTL1 on Admit - Activate TTL1 if a card read results in an Admit. 


Beep

The controller may be set to beep on any or all of the listed events.

Beep on Reject - The controller will beep as set when a card is presented and results in a Reject. 

AUX Input 

AUX Input maybe set to any of the following: 

  • Disable - AUX input signal is ignored. 
  • TTL1 - Activate the TTL1 signal when AUX input is detected. 
  • Authorized Access - The controller will unlock for the latch interval.
  • Controlled Access - The controller will unlock for the latch interval if the AUX card number is assigned to a currently valid shift. 
  • Unlock - The controller will toggle between Normal (Locked) mode and Unlock mode when an AUX input is detected. 
  • LockDown - The controller will toggle between Normal (Locked) mode and LockDown mode when an AUX input is detected. 


Reader/Relay Config 

This option configures what happens when a Credential Admit event occurs at Reader 2. 

  • Trigger Both Relay 1 and Relay 2 (DEFAULT) 

  • Trigger Relay 1 

  • Trigger Relay 2 

  • Trigger Neither Relay 


REX Options - Available for FW 7.03+ Only 

Release Relay on REX - Uncheck to prevent Relay 1 from releasing on a REX event. 

Suppress REX Event Reporting - Check to prevent the door controller from sending back REX events to the software.
