Properly configuring access controllers software is key to a professional access system.
These devices have fundamental settings that must be configured appropriately, including:
Inside this guide, we review all of those elements including examples of configuration with Axis, HID, Hikvision and Mercury controllers, a hands-on-video, and an explanation of the importance of each element.

You may find this article helpful: The Passback Problem
We will queue up an post on 'advanced access configurations' that address read in/out situations. Good idea!
PIR request to exits not programmed correctly resulting in nuisance forced door alarms and request to exits unlocking doors unnecessarily (e.g., when mag lock is not being used) are very common problems we encounter regularly at client sites.
Some codes state that an RTE has to be wired directly in line with the lock circuit, negating the use of the terminals for it on an access controller in those instances.
I have never seen that as a requirement for a door unless it had a maglock.
Very helpful
It would be great if this article could be amended to include an iStar panel
Looks pretty straight forward

If you can rectify it, it will be helpful.
Under extended unlock times it states that this is used for delivery drivers or someone that may be handicapped that would require an extended unlock time at the door to access it. When applying an extended unlock time, are you applying it to the door controller itself or can it be applied to individual cards or credentials? In my experience, I've seen adding/removing access after certain dates/times or times the credential is used. But I don't recall the individual credential to have an extended unlock time.
In my experience, I've seen adding/removing access after certain dates/times or times the credential is used. But I don't recall the individual credential to have an extended unlock time.
In many cases, the credential is flagged as 'extended open' valid, but the duration of how long that extended open lasts is a controller value.
In part, this is because openings vary in distance between reader and door, or door swing mechanics, or similar and specific openings may need to be unlocked for different times than a general credential-level value may offer.
Good question!
The advances in access door controllers technology have led to a trend towards increased security and convenience in modern buildings. The integration of new features such as biometrics, real-time monitoring, and mobile compatibility have revolutionized the way buildings manage and control access, making it easier to secure the premises while providing easy and quick access to authorized individuals.
