Register Door

This guide describes how to register and set up doors. Connect entry and exit devices for each door, and configure security features such as anti-passback and dual authentication to establish a systematic access management environment. Additionally, configure alarms based on the door status to prevent security incidents in advance.

Set door configuration​

In the Configuration section, you can set the devices connected to the door, exit buttons, and door sensors.

  • Entry Device: Select the device to be used for entry. If the device is not listed, register the device first.

  • Door Relay: Choose the relay that will function as the door lock mechanism.

  • Exit Button: Select the port to be used as the exit button.

    • Switch: Can be set to N/C (Normally Closed) or N/O (Normally Open).

    • Use sensor when Entry Confirmed APB enabled: Set whether to use the door sensor when using the Entry Confirmed APB option.

    If Timed Anti PassBack is enabled, this option cannot be used.

  • Exit Device: Select the device to be used for exit.

Info

  • If you selected a wireless door lock for Entry Device, you must also select a wireless door lock for Exit Device.

  • If you selected a wireless door lock for Entry Device, you cannot use the Door Relay option.

  • CoreStation models cannot be used as entry or exit devices.

Set additional options​

In the Option section, you can set additional options for the door.

  • Open: Set options for door opening.

    • Open Time: Set the duration for which the door remains open after authentication is complete. The door will automatically lock after this time.

    • Lock when door is closed: The door will lock when the door sensor detects it has closed. If set to On, the option Use Automatic Door cannot be used.

    • Use Automatic Door: If using an automatic door as the door, the relay can operate regardless of the door sensor's status. If set to Lock when door is closed, the option cannot be used.

    Info

    The Open Time may vary depending on the type of door locking device being used.

  • Dual Authentication: Set to require two people (a regular user and an administrator) to authenticate credentials to open the door.

    • Device: Select the device to use for dual authentication. Device: Select the device for dual authentication.

    • Schedule: Select the schedule for using dual authentication. If the desired schedule is not available, click + Add Schedule to add one.

    • Approval Type: Set the order of administrator authentication.

      • None: Two authentications are required regardless of the authentication group.

      • Last: The general user must authenticate first, followed by an authenticated user included in the set authentication group.

    • Approval Group: Set the group to which the administrator belongs. This option can be used when Approval Type is set to Last.

    • Timeout: Set the waiting time between the first and second authentications. Timeout: Set the waiting time until the second authentication after the first authentication.

    Info

    • To change dual authentication for devices set in restricted areas, modify the settings in the following menu: Settings → Advanced AC → Occupancy Limit. Settings → Advanced AC → Occupancy Limit

      For more information about Occupancy Limit settings, refer to the following.

    • For more information about schedule settings, refer to the following.

  • Anti-Tailgating: Set to detect tailgating where an unauthorized person follows an authorized person to enter.

    • Sensor: Select a sensor to detect tailgating.

Set Anti-Passback​

Anti-passback is used to manage access history and enhance security. It can prevent cases where a user hands over their entry card to another user after entering and stop outsiders from entering when they follow users with access privileges.

Refer below to complete the settings in the Anti PassBack section.

  • Type: Choose the type of anti-passback.

    • None: Does not utilize the anti-passback feature.

    • Soft APB: During an anti-passback violation, entry is allowed but will trigger an alarm or create a log in BioStar X.

    • Hard APB: During an anti-passback violation, entry is not allowed, and an alarm will sound or a log will be created in BioStar X.

  • Reset Time: Set the time until the anti-passback feature resets. This can be set for up to 7 days (10080 minutes), and if set to 0, it will not reset.

Info

  • This can be used when both entry and exit devices are installed, and setting Exit Device option to None in the Configuration section will render it unusable. For the exit device setup method, refer to following.

  • The Anti PassBack section requires a master device configured via RS-485 and a slave device.

  • If Timed Anti PassBack section is enabled, Anti PassBack cannot be used.

Set timed Anti-Passback​

When a user attempts to re-authenticate on the same device after entry authentication, the anti-passback feature will prevent immediate re-authentication. The Timed Anti PassBack section sets the initialization time for the anti-passback feature to effectively limit frequent entries by users.

  • Timed APB: Select the device to use the timed anti-passback feature.

  • Reset Time: Set the time until the anti-passback feature resets. The input unit is minutes (min), with a default of 10 minutes. It can be set for a maximum of 60 minutes.

  • Bypass Group: Select access groups that can always pass without being subject to timed anti-passback.

Set alarms​

In the Alarm section, you can configure to sound an alarm or block device usage when the door is forcibly opened, left open, or when an anti-passback violation occurs. Click + Add on the desired items to set alarms.

  • Held Open: Configure alarm actions when the door is left open.

  • Held Open Time: Set the time for the alarm to sound when the door has been open for an extended period. Determine the maximum time the door may remain open.

  • Forced Open: Configure alarm actions when the door is forcibly opened.

  • Anti PassBack: Configure alarm actions when an anti-passback violation occurs.

Info

The Anti PassBack option can only be set if the exit device is registered.
