Appearance - Displays the Public icon of the current device. Click on the icon or down arrow to select from the available public icons.

Reader Type - Devices configured as 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 any Reader besides the TouchIO and Red-series readers.
• Touch io - Choosing this Reader Type enables functions specific to the Touchio readers, which are detailed in the article about Touch.io Reader Options.
• Red - Choosing this Reader Type enables functions specific to the Red-series readers, which are detailed below.

Credentials - This section only shows while using Red-series Readers.

• Support Bluetooth Credentials - For a Red-series Reader that supports Bluetooth credentials, tapping or clicking this option will enable this function.
• Only accept Secure Credential Reads - If this box is checked, older, less secure credential technologies such as 125kHz prox will not be accepted by the system. 

Protocol - This allows the selection of which wiring configuration is being used, between Wiegand and OSDP wiring. If the reader is wired as OSDP and using the multi-drop functionality (connecting multiple Red Readers to a single port), clicking the gear icon allows access to the OSDP Address for the reader to be set.

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 will disable Wiegand communications for the reader and will only accept communication from the reader through an encrypted OSDP connection.

Authentication Policy - Tap or click inside the field or on the down arrow to view and select from the list of options.

• No Policy - No restrictions on credentials are applied at the Device level.
• Card Only - A restriction is applied at the device level only to allow card (or mobile) credentials. 
• PIN Only - A restriction is applied at the Device level to only allow PIN credentials. 
• Card or PIN - A restriction is applied at the device level to allow either card (or mobile) or PIN credentials.
• Card and PIN - A restriction to require both card (or mobile) and PIN credentials is applied at the Device level.

 

Auto Open After First Allow - When configuring a Device that will have 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. Tap or click the control to change how Auto-Open Schedules are processed.

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.

For more information on Auto-Open Schedules, please refer to our articles on the topic.

Auto Close - Tapping or clicking this control enables or disables the Door or Device. This will also enable or disable the Open/Close Dwell option below and automatically close the Door or Device after the specified time.

Open/Close Delay - The amount of time that the door or device is delayed in opening after a valid credential scan. Set a time delay value before a device Action is initiated following a valid read. For example, to set a two-second delay before a door is unlocked after a valid read, the Delay value would be set to 2.

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

Relay

• Activate - Tapping or clicking Activate will send an activation command to the selected Doo/Device. For a door or gate device, this will unlock the Device. For an IO Device, this will trigger the expected output. The relay will remain activated until a Deactivate command is sent.

•  

  Deactivate - Tapping or clicking Deactivate will send a deactivate command to the selected Device/relay. For a door or gate device, this will lock the Device. For an IO Device, this will stop the expected output. The relay remains closed until  Activate is clicked again or a rule under a Person or Group affects the Device.

 

Door Position Sensor (DPS) - Input A: A Door Position Sensor records the position of the door (open or closed) at all times. Tapping or clicking the control 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. 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. 

Partition - Existing partitions that have been created are listed and can be added to a device. Multiple partitions created previously are listed in alphanumeric order. Tap or click on a Partition name to view that partition’s information and edit this if needed.

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

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

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

 

Recent Audit Log - This allows you to view the ten (10) most recent events and changes for the current Device.

 

Delete Device - In the event that a device needs to be removed, click Delete.

Save - After making the necessary selections in this screen, click Save in the lower right corner.

Move to Another Type

To migrate from a legacy device to the new device type or from one Device Type to another,tap or click on "Move to Another Type" icon next to the Delete Device button.

Once the Move to Another Type menu is displayed, a wizard similar to the Add Device wizard is launched. The configuration is automatically transferred from the legacy device to the new device. As a result of the wizard, very few details are needed on the last step.
