Door configs

To create a new door in Telcred Access Manager, it is first necessary to create a door config. The door config contains the door's name and some technical parameters, which are typically set by the installer/integrator. When a door config is created, a door with the same name is automatically created. The door contains additional settings and actions which are relevant in day-to-day administration of the system.

The door config settings are:

• Name. Should be something meaningful to both the administrator and the end users.
• Directional. Directional doors are explained here. The default is no.
• Access time. This is the time the lock stays unlocked after a credential has been accepted by the reader before it relocks. If you do not open the door within the access time, you will have to swipe your credential again.
• Relock time. This setting is only relevant for doors with a door monitor that can sense if the door is open or closed (typically a magnet sensor). By default, the lock will not relock until the sensor indicates that the door has returned to the closed position. This can be a problem in some circumstances, e.g. if an automatic door opener is controlled by the power to the lock. In such a case, it is possible to specify a number of seconds after which the lock will relock, even if the monitor indicates that the door is still open.
• Open too long alarm. After this time the alert Door left open will be generated and the reader will indicate an alarm.
• Pre-alarm. The number of seconds before Open too long time that the reader will warn the user to close the door.
• Suppress forced open. With this setting, no Door forced open alerts will be generated. This can be relevant where the door is equipped and configured with a door monitor but opened manually from the inside (as opposed to with a REX device). Note: If the door has a reader, the reader will still indicate Door forced open even though it is ignored in Telcred Access Manager.
• Transfer to provides the ability to let another organization manage the door as if it were theirs, without having to care about the technical aspects, such as alarm settings and link to controller. The transfer functionality is further explained in the section on delegation.

After having created a door config, it can be linked to the right controller on the controller page.
