Defining a door under a Global/KT-NCC Gateway

Use theAccess and Area tab to define dual custody operation, area before/after, and restrictions for the door being defined.

Check the Dual Custody option to enable this feature. Dual custody is used to add extra security to a door by requesting that 2 cardholders must access the door together.

Define the proper access levels for both cardholders:

Select Access Level 1, the first access level needed to access the door.
Select Access Level 2, the second access level needed to access the door.
Select Privileged access. This is the access level selected to override dual custody on a door.
Note: With the Dual custody feature, cards must be presented in proper order to grant access. Card with Access Level 1 must be presented first then card with Access Level 2 is presented second.

Define Area for Anti-Passback and muster reporting:

Area before: Select the area which will be considered as “area before” when a cardholder presents a card at this door. For muster reporting, always select Unknown area. To disregard anti-passback for this door, leave this field blank.
Area after: Select the area which will be considered as “area after” access will be permitted to the cardholder. To disregard anti-passback for this door, leave this field blank.
Note: Usually, doors (or readers) are “shared” between areas, meaning that before accessing a door, a cardholder is considered to be in a certain area (which is called “area before”) and when this cardholder passes the door, he/she is in another area (which is called “area after”). For example, a cardholder who is in an “Unknown” area and wants to access “Area A”:
- The card holder presents his card at the door reader and wants to access area “A”.
- The system verifies the current location of the cardholder (to verify the current location of cardholder within areas, see Manual Operations on Areas).
- The system then looks in the door definition menu where the cardholder presented his card to see which area is defined as “area before” and “area after” for the selected door reader.
- If area “Unknown” is set as “area before” and “area A” is set as “area after” and the current position of the card holder is “Unknown”, access will be granted.
- If this card holder’s current position would have been in Area B, access would have been denied, since the reader “area before” (door) was set to “Unknown”.

DefineTimed Anti-Passbackby checking theRestrict Accessbox and entering time (mm:ss) for Restrictive Access Delay.

Note: When cardholders present their cards at this door, they will not be able to present their cards at another reader/door also defined with “restrictive access” until the delay expires.
