Door Commands: Mx

Doors controlled by Mx controllers, support a different set of right-click commands than the Cisco Gateway. These commands are shown below:

The options available on this list, include:

Function Description Comment

Momentary Access

Actuates the door timer for a period of time specified by the door timer.

Momentary and Trigger are the only two functions that are timed: going on then turning off according to a timer set to a predefined interval. All other functions are either On or Off. This is the lowest priority level of relay actuation.

Unlock

Actuates the relay and leaves it on until it is relocked.

This affects only the door/relay at which it is issued. This is the next lowest level of relay actuation; only momentary is lower.

Relock

Relock a relay that has previously been unlocked.

This is the necessary twin to unlock. It must be used to negate the unlock function and return the door to its normal resting state. This affects only the door/relay at which it is issued

Mask Forced

Cancels any entry delay value (as specified on the Door Input Setup Property Sheet) and masks all interior line modules for general building occupancy.

Also masks inputs for occupancy of a specific area while other areas remain unmasked.

Unmasked Forced

This function combines the start exit timer function with the unmask function and is often used to re-secure either an entire building or a specified area.

The start exit timer is set by the Exit Delay Time field on the Door Input Property Sheet.

Mask Held

Continues the mask state after the specified expiration.

 

Unmask Held

Continues the unmask state after the specified expiration.

 

Advanced

Lock Down

Disables all relays/outputs associated with this control zone.

 

Lock Down Release

This undoes the Lock Down command and returns all relay/outputs associated with this door to the next highest condition currently in effect.

 

Lock Open

Actuates all relays associated with this control zone.

 

Lock Open Release

Undoes the Lock Open condition and returns all relays/outputs associated with this door to the next highest condition currently in effect.

 

Force On

Every relay/output in the door is actuated. The relay continues to be actuated until released.

This function can affect both onboard and expansion relays.

Force Off

Disables all relays associated with this door.

This control is particularly useful for x-ray rooms or laboratories where no access is granted during an examination or experiment.

Force On Release

Returns all relays that were forced off by the Force OFF control to their default resting state.

 

Force Off Release

Returns all relays associated with a specific bundled door that was forced off by the Force Off control to their default resting states.

 

Momentary Mask

Momentary Mask momentarily turns off the reporting of all alarms from any of the line module inputs for the specified door or input. The door will only remain masked for a specified number of seconds before it is automatically unmasked.

The time allowed before alarms are unmasked is determined by the door inputs' Door Mode timer setting.

Masking does not prevent the reporting of line trouble, such as shorts or open line conditions.

Mask

Mask turns off the reporting of all alarms from any of the line module inputs for the specified door or input.

 

Masking does not prevent the reporting of line trouble, such as shorts or open line conditions.

Unmask

Unmask restores the alarm reporting from all inputs defined for the specified door or input.

 

Assign Unmask to a door group with a time zone of 65 (Always) to prevent time restrictions on the unmasking of masked line module inputs.

Trigger

Actuates the control timer for every output specified by the door. Once the timer times out, the relays/outputs are returned to their default resting states.

Trigger is a timed control function, like the Momentary access function: going on then turning off according to a control timer set to a predefined interval. All other functions are either On or Off.
