Details

Appearance - Displays the Public icon of the current device. Select from the available public icons with the dropdown.

Reader Type - Readers can be configured to show a different icon depending on the Reader Type configured for the Device. The different Reader Types are outlined below:

Standard - This is the default Reader Type and applies to all readers except Touch io and Red-series readers.
Touch io - Choosing this Reader Type enables functions specific to the Touch io readers.
Red - Choosing this Reader Type enables functions specific to Red-series readers, detailed below.

Credentials - This section displays only when using Red-series Readers or Red Wireless Locks.

• Support Bluetooth Credentials - To enable the Bluetooth function on a Red-series Reader or Red Wireless Lock.
• Only accept Secure Credential Reads - If this box is checked, the system will not accept older, less secure credential technologies such as 125 kHz prox.

NOTE: Support Bluetooth Credential will be enabled by default for Red Wireless Locks and will initiate a Bluetooth Hosting Fee. To avoid this Hosting Fee, uncheck the box before the five-day trial period ends.

Protocol - This lets you select the wiring configuration, either Wiegand or OSDP. If the reader is wired as OSDP and uses multi-drop functionality (connecting multiple Red Readers to a single port), selecting the gear icon lets you set the OSDP Address for the reader.

OSDP Address - After configuring the OSDP Address for the Red Readers attached to the port, select the Address for the selected reader.

Require Secure Channel - For Red-series Readers only, enabling this option disables Wiegand communications for the reader and accepts communication only through an encrypted OSDP connection.

Authentication Policy - The Authentication Policy determines which Credential types are required to gain access.

Primary Authentication Options: 

You must select at least one Primary Authentication Policy:

• Card or Bluetooth: Requires a physical card or a Bluetooth credential via the PDK Access App.
• PIN: Requires entering a PIN on a reader keypad.
• Mobile Button: Requires selecting the Door name in the PDK Access App.

Secondary Authentication Policy (Optional):

The Secondary Authentication Policy adds an extra layer of security.

• PIN: If the Primary Authentication Policy is set to Card or Bluetooth, you can require a PIN as a second step. The user must scan their credential and then enter their PIN.

Important Note: If an Authentication Policy is set for the Device in Configuration, it may conflict with the selected Authentication Policy set in the Access Rule, causing Credentials to function improperly. It is recommended to set this during Access Rule creation. 

Auto Open After First Allow - When configuring a Device with an Auto Open Schedule rule applied to a Primary Reader or Premium IO device, this option determines the Device's behavior when the Auto Open Schedule begins. 

Below is an explanation of how this control works in both states.

• Disabled - When the Auto Open Schedule begins, the Device relay will activate automatically.
• Enabled - When the Auto Open Schedule begins, the Device relay will not activate until an Allowed credential input occurs during the Auto Open Schedule.

Auto Lock - Red Wireless Locks only

Auto Locking is enabled by default for Red Wireless Locks. If this is enabled, the Wireless Lock will relock after an open command is sent (with a valid credential or through software) and its specified Dwell Time has elapsed. By default, this setting is set to 30 seconds. The Dwell can be adjusted at any time.

Open/Close Delay - The amount of time that the door or device is delayed in opening after a valid credential scan.

Open/Close Dwell - The amount of time the Door/Device stays unlocked after a valid credential scan. Set a time duration value that determines how long a device remains unlocked after a valid read.

Relay - Activating or Deactivating a Device will open or close that Device. 

• Activate - Will send an activation command to the selected Door/Device. For a door or gate device, this will unlock the Device. For a Premium IO Device, this will trigger the expected output. The relay will remain activated until a Deactivate command is sent.
• Deactivate - Will send a deactivate command to the selected Device/relay. For a door or gate device, this will lock the Device. For a Premium IO Device, this will stop the expected output. The relay remains closed until  Activate is selected again or a rule under a Person or Group affects the Device.

Inputs - A (DPS) and B (REX) inputs can be enabled or disabled for the Device. 

Door Position Sensor (DPS) - Input A - A Door Position Sensor records the door position (open or closed) at all times. Selecting will enable or disable the DPS input on the Device and enable or disable the Prop Alarm option.

Motion Request to Exit (REX) - Input B - A Request to Exit (REX) device allows a System Event to be configured every time the REX input is triggered. Selecting this enables or disables the REX input on the Device. Both REX and DPS must be selected in order to enable the Forced Alarm option. This feature is enabled by default after creating a new device. 

Alarms - Prop Alarm or Forced Alarm can be configured for the Device. 

Prop Alarm - The Prop Alarm option allows an alarm to be added for System Events and Reports when a door is propped open for the duration entered in the Prop Delay. When Prop Alarm is enabled, the Prop Delay option is available. 

Prop Delay - This option is displayed only when Prop Alarm is enabled. Prop Delay is the amount of time, in seconds, after a door is propped open before the system triggers a Door Propped Event, allowing time for the door to close.

Forced Alarm - This option logs any time a door opens without a valid card scan or when the REX is tripped, indicating the door was forced open. An alarm can be set for a forced door when Forced Alarm is checked. Forced Alarm is available only when both DPS and REX are checked.

Partition - Existing Partitions are listed and can be added to a device. Previously created partitions are listed in alphanumeric order. Select a Partition name to view that partition’s information and edit it if needed.
