4.5 Zones

Zones make it easier to administer accesses to devices. Zones unite devices into logical complexes.

The zone list includes the following actions:

• Create zone
• Delete zone
• Go to detail

Use the zone details to set the following parameters.

• Info
  • Name – zone name.

  • Zone access PIN code – set the zone access code as the only authentication method. .

• Accesses

  • Multiple authentication – set the access rules and their combinations for all the zone devices. Multiple authentication includes, e.g., a card + PIN combination.

  • Silent Alarm – enable Silent Alarm for all the devices assigned to a zone.

  • Limit Failed Access Attempts – enable this function for all the devices in a zone. Enable the maximum count of unsuccessful authentication attempts. After five unsuccessful attempts (wrong numeric code, invalid card, etc.), the access module will be blocked for 30 seconds even if authentication is valid.

• Device – add a device to a zone. Logically associates the premises that are to be accessed by the same users. Such as offices with two entrances. Add the devices at both the doors to the zone. 

• Companies – assign one zone to multiple companies. Used in Access rules for zone-group interconnection. 

• Access rules – display the list of all available access rules for editing or creation.
