You may
define inputs from the
Input
button
of the
toolbar.
You can also define inputs using the
Express Setup
when defining a controller (
see
Express
Setup Program
).
1 -
From the
toolbar,
select the
button.
2 - Select a Site filter from the first drop-down list.
3 - select the Gateway.
4 - From the
drop-down list, select the connection where the controller is located.
5 - From the
drop-down
list, select the input you want to define. Once selected, the language
section is enabled. You may rename the selected input.
6 - From the General tab, a ssign
a
to
the selected input: this is the schedule during which the system will
supervise the condition of the input. When the schedule is valid, a change
in input condition generates either an “Input in alarm” or “Input restore”
event.
The input
that is used for the door contact, REX contact or interlock contact SHOULD
NOT have a monitoring schedule.
7 -
Specify
the
for
the input: it may be
or
.
When using
single or double EOL resistors, set input
Normal Condition
to
Closed
.
8 -
Specify
the
for
the input: it may be
or
.
When configuring event parameters with Input
in alarm or Input activated as
the selected event, only the inputs corresponding to these criteria are
displayed. See Event
Parameters Definition for more information.

By default,
EntraPass will not select the
.
This is to keep data traffic at a minimum. However, this option can be
enabled if necessary.
10 -
Specify
the
This
delay corresponds to a period within which an input must remain in the
same state before a transition is recognized. This delay is expressed
in minutes (mm:ss:cc).
10
min:55 secs:35 cc for both the alarm response and alarm restore times.
•
Alarm response time
:
The
delay before the system generates the input and alarm event. Default is
50 cc.
• Restore response time (mm:ss:cc):
The
delay before the system generates the input restore events
(Corporate
and Global Gateways only). Default
is 50 cc.
Specifying
the input response time allows bouncing time when the contact changes
state, and helps to generate only one event for each transition if this
time is longer than the bouncing time. For example, a 01:00:00 delay requires
that a condition remains stable for at least one minute before it is reported.
11 -
Specify
the
Telephone
Entry System
options
(applies to KTES only).
To access the modem
call type feature, the site connection type must be set to
Modem. For more information, see Connection Configuration. The modem call type
feature is supported by multi-site Gateways only.
•
Pager call type
:
You can select
Do not call
(the
relay activation for that event will not be sent to the pager),
Call immediately
(the
relay activation for that event will be sent immediately to the pager)
or
Call
when scheduled
(the
relay activation for that event will be sent to the pager according to
the pager call schedule).
Default
value is
Do not call
.
•
Under
,
assign the call type option that best suits event reporting. Default value
is
Do
not call
•
Input pager ID
:
Enter
the pager code corresponding to the selected input.
Possible
values are 201, 202, 203 and 204.
To specify pager call types for each events, the Pager
reporting function must be enabled. See KTES Configuration.
12 -
For
a Global Gateway only: Check the
(anti-passback)
option
to assign input to a push button which can be used by the system security
department to move all cards of all sectors to the “Unknown area” if anti-passback
is defined in the system. This button can be used when all the personnel
have to leave the building due to a fire, for instance. This option will
reset all cards instead of using a manual operation, which can be a long
task.
The
input's monitoring schedule must be valid.
13 -
For KT-400
and KTES only, check Override default EOL (56K), and then, in the drop-down
menu, select the appropriate item. Default is unchecked.
14 -
