Scheduling area events
To schedule changes for all the readers, doors, and routings in an area, use an area event. An event
can also put the entire area online or offline.
Use the Area Events form to define area events for each mode. You can create events that affect all
doors and readers in an area. Defining an event requires you to select a mode, set the time of the
event, select an area, and specify one or more changes to the area, readers, or doors.
Note:
Do not set up the Area Events form to match the fields on the Area form. Fields that do not need to be scheduled
should not be selected. For example, if the area is already online, do not select Online on the Area Event
schedule.
Example
An area defined as General Access is made up of several readers and doors. It can be accessed
Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. To accomplish this, an Unlock Door at 8 AM runtime
event is paired with a Lock Door at 5 PM runtime event on weekdays only.
