Access Level Configuration
•The option for floor group relates to the use of elevator control.
•Threat Level Group deals with varying system feature during elevated threat
levels, which conform to the Dept of Homeland Security standard. This is a
VERY powerful feature that must be discussed prior to any system
commissioning due to the complex nature of the programming.
•Disarm alarm panel is a feature that can retrieve and send status messages to
supported alarm systems.
•Action on Passback Violation deals with In and Out readers at a portal. If a
person attempts to badge out of the facility without badging in, you can have the
access level allow and flag the action or deny access.
