Rack Access Settings

[EcoStruxureIT]

Use this option, accessed from the NetBotz Appliance Configuration option, to configure access to rack doors monitored by NetBotz Appliances that monitor Rack Access Pod 170 devices.

To configure Rack Access Settings, you must be a Administrator, or a Device Administrator for the selected device group or the device group that contains the selected NetBotz Appliance.

When no Rack Access Pod 170 devices are monitored by the selected NetBotz Appliance, the "Rack Access Settings" display is not available.

The "NetBotz Appliance Rack Access Settings" display appears the first time you access the Rack Access Settings option for a selected NetBotz Appliance. This display allows you to specify the supported card type and auto lock timeout for the selected appliance. You can access the display again, if needed, from the NetBotz Appliance Settings link in the "Rack Access Settings" display. When the card type has already been specified, you can modify the Auto Lock Timeout only. To modify the supported card type, you must first remove all the cards associated with the appliance.

The Show Unregistered Cards link is displayed when one or more rack access cards swiped at a Rack Access Pod 170 device have not been registered to the associated NetBotz Appliance. You access the "Unregistered Cards" display from the link to select the rack access cards you want to register, or remove cards you do not want to register from the list.

You can add up to 200 rack access cards to the list for the device group, or NetBotz Appliance or Appliances selected. You identify the Card ID #, the user name, a description, and whether the card requires an authorization card swipe from another card to access the door. You can modify the settings for each card, remove cards from the list one at a time, or copy the scheduled access of one card to another.

Note

When you remove cards from the list, you must press Apply or OK to save the changes.

You select a card in the left pane to display its card ID #, user name, description, and authorization requirement, if any, above the right pane. The right pane allows you to select the doors on which to enable or disable access for that card, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by default. You can select a NetBotz Appliance, a Rack Access Pod 170, or a door, and press Edit Access to modify the weekly access schedule.

Note

When you enable or disable door access, you must press Apply or OK to save the changes.

You must configure door access for one card at a time. You can then copy the scheduled access of one card to another.
