Operation > Manual Operations on Doors

This dialog allows an authorized operator to manually modify the state of a door or group of doors.

Operators can manually lock/unlock a door, temporary lock/unlock a door or group of doors, and enable/disable readers on selected doors.

Note: A hint is displayed when you move your cursor over a button. It gives details about the operation to be performed.

There are various reasons why you would want to perform one of these operations; for example you may need to “disable a reader” for a short period in order to deny access to the door, etc. This operation allows an operator to lock a door that was previously unlocked by an operator or a schedule. When a door is manually locked through the Operation menu, it remains locked until:

• The presentation of a valid card (will re-lock after access), or

• The next valid change of the automatic unlocking schedule (for a door defined with an unlocking schedule), or

• An operator manually unlocks the door.

Selecting a Door or a Door Group

1 - From the Operations window, select the Door button. The Door window appears.

2 - Click the Enable animation button to view a real-time display of the door status.

• The left-hand pane displays the list of all Sites/Gateways . You may select all or select one site/gateway.

• The individual doors associated with the site/gateway selected on the left are displayed in the top right side of the pane. If you select All on the left, all doors in the system will be listed on the right. You can select one, several or all doors.

Note: If only one site or gateway is defined in the system, the site or gateway list window will not appear on the Controller window.

• Door groups associated to the site/gateway selected on the left are displayed at the bottom right side of the pane. If you select All on the left, all door groups in the system will be listed at the bottom right. You can select one or several or all groups.

Note: The Door Group bottom panel is available only to the selected site or to a selected connection not linked to a site.

Locking a Door Manually

1 - In the Door dialog, select desired door(s) or door group.

2 - Click the Lock-door button in the toolbar.

Unlocking a Door Manually

1 - In the Door dialog, select desired door(s) or door group.

Unlocking a Door Temporarily

EntraPass allows you to temporarily unlock a door for a preset delay. Once the delay expires, the door re-locks automatically. You can use this option in cases where you need to grant access to a user who does not have a card or has forgotten his/her card.

Note: The maximum unlock time: 4:15 (255 seconds).

1 - Click the Temporarily unlock button. The Change delay on action dialog will popup.

2 - Enter the New time delay (m:ss) and click OK . The selected door will be temporarily unlocked by an operator.

Note: If a door contact is installed, the door will re-lock as soon the system sees a “door open-door closed” transition. There is no “Animation” for this type of operation.

Resetting a Door Schedule

EntraPass allows you to reset a door schedule after a manual operation has been performed on a component.

1 - In the Door dialog, select desired door(s) or door group.

2 - Click the Return to Schedule button. This option will reset the schedule for the selected components.
