Defining general parameters for a door

Note: When you use the KT-300 system, you work with h:mm:ss and the range value is from 00:00:01 to 9:06:07. Each time you use a KT-400 system, you work with hh:mm:ss and the range value is from 00:00:01 to 04:15 (255 sec.) for a KT-100, KT-200 and KT-300; or to 18:12:15 (65535 seconds) for a KT-400. Take this difference into consideration.
  1. In the Devices window, click the Door button.
    Note: The Local areas options are only available for a KT-400 controller on a multi-site Gateway with the Controller local area property enabled. See Configuring the KT-400 Controller for more information.

    The Miscellaneous, In/Out, and Door Anti-Passback options are not available for a KTES door.

  2. Select a Site filter from the first list.
  3. Select the Gateway.
  4. From the Connection list, select the connection where the controller is located.
  5. From the Controller list, select the controller you want to define. After it is selected, the language section is enabled. You may rename the selected controller.
  6. From the Door list, select the door you want to modify or define. New items are identified with a red button. The button turns green once the item has been defined and saved.
  7. From the General tab, specify the Door lock mode: Depending on the lock device used, the locked state will energized or de-energized to lock. Default value is Fail-secure.
    • Fail-secure: The strike is locked when power is removed (door locks, door strikes).
    • Fail-safe: The lock output is energized to lock the door (electromagnetic locks).
  8. If the door is for a KTES, go to 16.
  9. Select the Elevator cab option if the door is to be used for elevator control. When this option is checked, the Elevator tab is displayed to define the unlocking schedules. The default value is cleared.
  10. Specify the In/Out type from the list:
    • None: The reader is considered as an access reader. An access reader generates only Access granted/Access denied events. This option is selected by default.
    • Entry: An entry door is an entry point. In order for the system to record an entry, the door must be opened after a valid access (if a door contact is installed).
    • Exit: An exit door is an exit point. For the system to record an exit, the door must be opened after a valid access (if a door contact is installed).
  11. If the Controller Local Areas are enabled, go to 14.
  12. Specify the Door Anti-Passback type (default is Access) :
    • Access: The reader is considered as an access reader. Anti-Passback options are not used with access doors. An access reader generates only Access granted/Access denied events.
    • Entry : An entry door is an entry point. In order for the system to record an entry, the door must be opened after a valid access (if a door contact is installed).
    • Exit : An exit door is an exit point. In order for the system to record an exit, the door must be opened after a valid access (if a door contact is installed).
  13. Go to 16.
    Note: None , Soft anti-passback and Hard anti-passback are used only with the KT-400 and Controller Local Areas.
  14. Specify the Door Anti-Passback type (default is Access):
    • None: The anti-passback option is disabled.
    • Soft anti-passback: If the destination area is under Deny Access on Local Area Full, access is denied. When a user is passing his access card to a local area, for example, the system will allow him to access another local area even if the user was not in the Local area before . The system will generate the event: “ Access granted - Passback bad location “.
    • Hard anti-passback: If the destination area is under Deny Access on Local Area Full, access is denied. A card used at an entry reader will not be able to access the same entry reader again until it has used the corresponding exit reader. The system will generate the event: “ Access denied - Passback bad location “.
  15. Specify the Local area before and Local area after . These items are enabled and can be specified only for Controller Local Area .
  16. Specify the Door access delay:
    • Unlock time (hh:mm:ss): The time during which the door is unlocked on a valid card read or a valid request to exit event (when the REX is defined to unlock the door). The time range value can be from 00:00:01 to 04:15 (255 sec.) for a KT-100, KT-200, and KT-300; or to 18:12:15 (65535 seconds) for a KT-400, KT-1, and KT-2. If this is an elevator door and a push button (input) is used to enable floor selection, this is the time during which a floor selection will be allowed. Usually, a longer period should be defined to allow the user to select floors. Default value is 10s. For more information, see Input Configuration.
    • Open time (hh:mm:ss): The time during which a door can remain opened following a permitted access or a valid request to exit request. This applies only to a door defined with a door contact input. The time range value can be from 00:00:01 to 04:15 (255 sec.) for a KT-100, KT-200, and KT-300; or to 18:12:15 (65535 seconds) for a KT-400, KT-1, and KT-2. After this delay has expired, the system will generate the event “door open too long” and the door piezo will sound to warn the cardholder. You can use the Pre-alarm on door open too long ( Door window, Contact tab) to sound the door piezo when half of this delay has expired. It will continue to sound until the door is closed. Default value is 30s.
  17. The Extended door access delay(hh:mm:ss) feature allows to keep the door open for an extended period in order to allow people with disabilities to pass through without triggering an alarm. If you want to use this option, specify the delays in the Unlock time (default is 40s) and Open time (default is 2 min) fields. The time range value, for both delays, can be from 00:00:01 to 04:15 (255 sec.) for a KT-100, KT-200 and KT-300; or to 18:12:15 (65535 seconds) for a KT-400, KT-1, and KT-2.
  18. Unlock Schedule will allow the system to unlock the door for a predetermine period of time that you will select.
  19. First Person In option (Not for KT-200): keeps door locked until the first granted card access while an unlock schedule is valid. Default is unselected.
    • For the KT-400, KT-1, and KT-2 only, it’s now possible to specify an Unlock Grace Period (mm). This feature allows the door to be unlocked under its unlock schedule if the first card access is granted inside the selected time period before the unlock schedule starts. Time range value can be from 0 (disabled) to 59 minutes. Default value is 0 minute. For example, if the door has an unlock schedule that goes from 8:00am to 5:00pm and the First Person In is enabled with an Unlock Grace Period of 15 minutes, a valid access between 7:45am and 7:59am will allow the door to unlock automatically at 8:00am.
  20. Select Enable Multi-Swipe to turn the visibility of the Multi-Swipe tab ON or OFF.
  21. Select a Graphic and Video view to which the gateway is assigned, if applicable. The video view will only be activated if the video feature is enabled in EntraPass.
    Note: Under a Corporate Gateway, EntraPass offers the ability to program an extended door access delay and to specify specific unlock and open time delays reserved for people with disabilities. In addition to setting this special access delay, the user’s access card must be programmed with this feature. Only available with KT-100, KT-300 and KT-400.
