Issue
Using a card reader to Unlock and Secure a Building
Product Line
TAC INET
Environment
- I/NET Seven
- 7798
Cause
Site requests the ability to have a user card in at the beginning of the day locking the door and card out at the end of the day unlocking the building
Resolution
- Create and AIC triggered from the card reader to start an event sequence as outlined in Using AIC to trigger an event sequence
- The AIC should trigger an event sequence (sequence1)
- Line 1 of sequence1 should be skip if 0, looking to see if the door is lock and skipping to sequence2
- Line 2 of sequence1 should be skip if non-0, looking to see if the door is unlocked ad skipping to sequence3
- Sequence 2 should unlock the door(s)
- Sequence 3 should lock the door(s)
You may need to change the delays until you get an acceptable response. Ideally Line 1 of sequence 1 should be delayed long enough for the door to return to lock after the reader entry.
As an option you could have sequence 1 check the status of the door. A badge read when the door is closed unlocks the door(s). A badge read when the door is open locks the door(s).
