Y6OS Access Control Configuration Recommendations
This page contains basic recommendations for configuring a controller, barrier, and access rule in YourSixOS. Please refer to the platform guides for more detail.
Controller
-
- Adding a controller is performed exactly like adding a camera or any other device. Once added to the platform a “barrier” section should appear on the device management page.
Barrier
Relay state
-
- Recommendation is “Open” for Axis A16 and A12
- IF someone was to set that as “Closed” all of the stuff printed on the controller would suddenly be backwards. This was something that was needed for the A1001 that is no longer available. Often times, one person provisions the controller and then someone else installs it. The installer is going to wire it per the words on the board and relay. If the person doing the provisioning sets it to “Close” nothing is going to work correctly.
Monitor state
-
- Recommendation is “Closed Circuit (N/O)”. Closed circuit means that the contact is a N/O (Normally open) contact and opens/alarms when the door opens/magnet is no longer seen.
- Note: Contacts can be purchased and wired either way. A N/O contact is the most commonly used and wired in the industry. The contact is open when the door is open and closed when the door is closed. Or, the contact is open when the magnet is away from the contact and closed when the magnet is next to the contact.
REX type
-
- Recommendation: Depends on wiring. If your REX relay is wired/set-up to close upon activation, then choose Active low (N/O).
- Active low (N/O) is how YourSix sets up all REXs we deploy. This means that the REX closes its relay when it sees motion or is activated. (Not all REXs are motion based.)
Access Rules
Authentication Profile
-
- For each authentication profile a unique rule needs to be configured. For example, if I want to use a card to enter and a REX to exit then you will have 2 access rules:
-
- Authentication Profile: Card Direction: In
- Authentication Profile: REX Direction: OUT
-
- For each authentication profile a unique rule needs to be configured. For example, if I want to use a card to enter and a REX to exit then you will have 2 access rules:
