    • IN-OUT for All Devices

      This mode allows Presence to be monitored. Arrivals are recorded on the entry devices, departures are recorded on the exit devices. Movement across zones is not registered as arrival/departure.

    • IN-OUT for Selected Devices

      This mode allows Presence to be monitored. Arrivals and departures are recorded on selected devices that are set as entry or exit. Arrivals and departures are only registered on these selected devices. Thus, arrival/departure recording can only be set for the main entrance of the building, for example.

Setting Device Access Points

You can logically divide each device into two access points - arrival and departure. Each access point represents a passage in one direction and determines whether the device user enters or leaves the zone. One access point can be controlled by one or more device modules. All the assigned modules then manage the passageways in the direction of the specific access point. The access points are used especially where a device is on the boundary of two zones and the direction of movement between them needs to be accurately recorded (for anti-passback, for example).

In addition, access points help monitor the users in the Presence module. Also, access points are used for monitoring entries/exits in Area restrictions.

Note

The access points are referred to as Arrival and Departure in the web configuration interface of each device. Go to Access > Access Rules > Entry and Exit tabs to set them up.
