• Input Doubling now compatible with Reader Expander Modules

Input doubling employs distinct resistor values to treat a single input as two, often used for implementing antimasking in access control. Input doubling support for reader expander streamlines programming, reduces hardware needs, and leads to cost savings.�

• Bypass faulty inputs

Our new feature reduces nuisance alarms for operators by allowing users to bypass faulty access control inputs. For instance, it prevents unnecessary alerts like "Door open too long" & "Door forced open" when a door's magnet contact is bypassed.�

• Flexible Pin Configuration

Our improved door access control system now enables seamless PIN entry without the need to press the #key, simplifying the user experience. This update automatically recognizes 4 or 6-digit PINs, streamlining access control sequences.

• Operator Audit Trail

Operator objects such as modifications (add/delete) of a user are now created as events so they can be viewed on status pages and event searches. An alarm can be created when operators are modified. 

� 

• Weblink Actions on Floorplans

Operators can now place a button on a Floor plan to easily navigate to a specific webpage. This gives the end user the convenience of accessing internal or external web pages directly from a programmed button on a Floorplan.
