SK-NET - GLOSSARY
Access Group – A set of cardholders who are valid at the same readers
and have the same time zone restrictions. Groups are ideal for multidepartmental
facilities with different time schedules. Section 5.14
Block Of Cards – A contiguous group of cards in sequential card-number
order. Section 3.5
Connection Group – Connection Groups define a means to access a
reader gateway. It contains all readers that are visible through the reader
gateway via RS-232, LAN connection or by modem. See Appendix A.
Connection Wizard – A special function where SK-NET software
automatically goes through the various COM ports and baud rates on
your system to make a connection. This function can be found by rightclicking
a Location, selecting Properties, choosing the Connection tab,
then clicking on the Connection Wizard icon. NOTE: The conncetion
wizard can now search for LAN connections. Section 3.2
Door Controls – A group of commands that affect the door or gate at a
connected location. Door controls can be initiated in real time, using the
SK-NET software. The system operator has the capability of controlling
whether is a door is unlocked or locked, and whether the reader is inactive
or active. Section 5.30
Door Schedule – A time zone that is specifically assigned to a door,
which causes the door to automatically lock and unlock according to a
regular weekly time schedule. Section 5.18
Hardware Password – The default password for your SK-ACP or 28SA
Plus reader is “12345”. Section 9.4
Holidays – The system operator can enter up to 32 holidays that will use
the Holiday Schedule in the system time zones, instead of the normal
schedule for the day of the week. This allows access to be restricted or
different than normal on Holidays. Section 5.20
“IN” / “OUT” Readers – When a room or area has readers on both
sides of each door to control both entry and exit, the readers controlling
entry can be assigned to an IN group, and readers controlling exit can be
assigned to an OUT group. This allows the access control system to track
the status of each cardholder to determine if the cardholder is IN or OUT
of the area. It also allows the system to control the cardholder’s direction
of movement and to prevent card passback by invoking the Anti-Passback
feature, which prevents an IN or OUT reader from being used twice in
succession by the same cardholder. Section 5.25
