Use door templates to define sets of hardware that can be applied to multiple doors. For example, you can create a template that includes a door swing for use with ADA-enabled doors, or a dead bolt for doors that require extra security. See System Configuration Settings for more information.
Note The default templates are read-only. Only user-created door templates can be modified.
To create or modify a door template, do the following:
Step 1 Choose the Doors > Templates > Door Templates command from the menu bar of an ICPAM module
Step 2 On the resulting Door Templates window, either:
· Click the Add button on the toolbar
· Click on an existing template in the table, and click the Edit or Duplicate button on the toolbar
· Right-click on an existing template in the table, and choose the Add, Edit, or Duplicate command from the pop-up menu
To duplicate an existing template:
· Select the template in the table and click the Duplicate button on the right side of the toolbar.
· In the resulting dialog, enter a New Name for the new template, and click OK.
· In the resulting dialog, enter a New Name for the new template, and click OK.
· Back in the Door Templates window, select the duplicate template name in the table, and click the Edit button on the toolbar.
· Revise the template settings in the remaining steps of this procedure.
Step 3 In the resulting window (Add - Door Template in this example), click the General tab (in the left pane) and type the Name and Description for this template.
Step 4 Select the devices for this door template:
a. Select the Devices tab in the left pane.
b. Either select an existing device from the list and click the Edit button, or click the Add button (to add a new device).
c. Select the Device Type. For example: Lock, Reader, etc.
d. Select the device Template. Only the templates for the selected device type are displayed. For example, if the device type is Reader, then only reader templates are displayed. See Configuring Device Templates for instructions on how to create and modify the available templates.
e. Click OK to continue.
f. To add another device, repeat steps b through e.
Step 5 Define the door lock properties.
a. Select the Properties tab (in the left pane).
b. Relock interval time (sec): the number of seconds to keep the door open after an access request is granted (grant access).
c. Door held open time (sec): the number of seconds before the DoorHelpOpen alarm is generated.
d. Door lock on close:
– The default is Yes. The door will always lock when closed, overriding the Relock interval time (even if a second request was entered while the door was open).
– Select No to keep the door unlocked for the duration of the Relock interval time, even if it is closed. The relock time is based on the most recent access request for the door.
e. Deadbolt engage delay (sec): the delay (in seconds) after a door closes until the deadbolt is applied.
Usage Notes:
By default, when a door access request is granted, the door remains unlocked until the Relock interval time elapses, or until the door is closed again, whichever comes first. In some situations, you may want to keep the door unlocked for the entire interval time, even when it is closed again. For example:
1. When a door is unlocked by user “A” the Relock interval time is triggered. The door will automatically relock when the relock time is met, or when the door is open and then closed again.
2. Before user “A” approaches the door and opens it, a handicapped person, user “B”, also presents a badge. Access is granted and the Relock interval time is extended to reflect this latest grant access request.
3. In the meantime, however, user “A” opens the door and closes the door behind him (while user “B” is several feet away from the door). The door is automatically relocked since Door lock on close is set to Yes by default.
4. To keep the door unlocked until the Relock interval time is elapsed for the most recent request, set Door lock on close to No.
Step 6 Define the door mode and schedule:
a. Select the Properties tab.
b. Default mode: select the default door mode. The door remains in this mode at all times except when a schedule is defined.
§ Open: the door is held open and the lock is in unlocked state.
§ Close: the door is physically closed and the lock is in unlocked state.
§ Lock: the door is physically closed and the lock is in Locked state.
§ Secure: the door is locked and the deadbolt is applied.
For more information on this, see Door Modes for more information.
c. Door enable schedule: (optional) select a door schedule. If you select None, then the door will remain in the Default mode at all times. If you select a schedule, the schedule will override the default mode for the times and days defined in the schedule. See Using the Schedule Manager to add or modify the available door schedules.
d. Scheduled door mode: select the door mode when the door scheduled is applied.
For example if the Default mode is Lock, and the scheduled door mode is Close, then the door will be locked at all times except during the hours and days defined by the schedule selected in Door enable schedule.
e. First Unlock: select First Unlock to activate the door schedule only on the first successful badge swipe. The door remains in default mode until a badge is used to access the door, even after the beginning time for the schedule. This is useful in situations such as snow days to ensure the door is not opened until a badge holder is physically present.
Tip For more information on this, see Understanding Door Modes, Door Schedules, and the First Unlock Feature for more information.
Step 7 Specify the remaining door Properties:
· If badge not in gateway: the action taken by the gateway if the badge is not in the gateway database.
Note Staring with the ICPAM 2.1 release, if the badge not in gateway property is set to Use Server by default. This enables the badge to be authenticated if it is present in ICPAM even when it does not exist in the gateway. This option is enabled by default for new installations. Customers upgrading from CPAM can manually change this option in the door properties, if needed.
· Access decision on timeout: the action taken by the gateway if there is no response within Server access timeout.
· If server unreachable (APB): the action to be taken by gateway in case it cannot reach ICPAM. See the Using Local (Controller) Credentials if Network Communication is Lost.
· Server access timeout (sec): the number of seconds before an action is taken based on Access decision on timeout.
· If server unreachable (APB): the action to be taken by a gateway which is part of an anti-passback area in case it cannot reach the ICPAM server.
· ADA timespec multiplier: the multiplier used on Relock interval time if an ADA access occurs.
· Door swing activation delay (sec): the number of seconds before the door swing is activated. This setting allows time for the door lock or other devices to activate before the mechanical door swing activates.
· Door swing usage:
– Always operate: the door swing activates for all access requests.
– Operate for ADA only: the door swing operates only for requests from an ADA device.
– Do not operate: the door swing does not operate.
Step 8 Specify the door Usage Profiles used by the reader device(s). These profiles define what LED or buzzer action occurs under the following events:
· Grant access: the LED display when normal access is granted.
· Grant access ADA: the LED display when access is granted for an ADA enabled badge.
· Deny access: the LED display when access is denied.
· Grant access facility code: the LED display when access is granted based on a Facility Code.
· Mode open: the LED display when the door mode is Open.
· Mode close: the LED display when the door mode is Close.
· Mode lock: the LED display when the door mode is Lock.
Tip For more information on this, see Configuring Reader LED and Buzzer Profiles for more information.
Step 9 Specify the Facility Code Information.
Click Add to open a dialog that enables you to specify a credential template and facility code.
Each card format has a facility code associated with the card. All the card formats that will be used with the door must be specified. The gateway can also be configured to use facility codes during Server Unreachable and Server Access Timeout if necessary.
Step 10 Specify the Duress Specifications.
Click Add to open a dialog that enables you to specify an alarm type and duress code.
Step 11 Click the Save and Close to save the template and close the window.
