Issue
Can I set up a door in Continuum which allows either a card validation OR a general code validation?
Environment
AC-1 family
HID RK40 Reader/Keypad
Cause
Customer wants employees to access a gated area using their badges and the garbage company to enter a general code to get to the dumpster (they don't want to have to issue the garbage company a badge.) Can the door object be set up to do this?
Resolution
No, the access validation is coded as an "AND" not an "OR". What is meant by this is that when a door object is configured with the checkboxes for Validate Site, Validate Card and Validate General Code, the person must present a valid card and enter a general code - it is not either/or.
The easiest workaround for this is to add another AC-1, another reader and create a second door with a different configuration. Different groups of people will be instructed to use different readers.
