Refer to the platform guides or Access Control Training Videos for more details on each step


Barrier

Definition:

  • Barrier: A controlled entry/exit point such as a door, turnstile, parking gate, or elevator (A door, gate, turnstile or something else that can be controlled)
  • Barrier Group: A group of barriers. Allows for simultaneous configuration of the barriers and for easy configuration of users access to a set of barriers.

Permission Requirement: Integrator super admin and integrator admin

Configuration Notes:

  • Monitor
    • Closing Circuit (N/O): “Normally Open” and thus would “alarm” when the circuit is closed (Recommendation)
    • Opening Circuit (N/C): “Normally Closed” and thus would “alarm” when the circuit is opened
  • REX type
    • Recommendation: Depends on wiring. If your REX relay is wired/set-up to close upon activation, then choose Active low (N/O). This means that the REX closes its relay when it sees motion or is activated. (Not all REXs are motion based.)
