User Manual
An Escort Transaction can be terminated by one of three circumstances:
• A badge with a non-Escort category match to the area is presented after the transaction
begins and before the transaction timeout value is reached (valid termination case).
• The transaction timeout condition is reached.
• A badge without a category match is presented before either one of the conditions above are
met (intervening badge case).
A group of visitors can be accompanied by a single escort. There is no limit to the number of
Escorted badge holders (visitors) that can be processed, as long as they all occur within 20 seconds
of each other. Badge History is sent to the host as each badge is processed.
An Escort category match generates a Badge History message sent to the host with “Escort
Requested” status and the matching category ID. The transaction is displayed on the host’s Badge
Monitor.
A terminating badge read (non-Escort category match) generates a Badge History message with
“Escort Provided” status and the matching category. The transaction is displayed on the host’s
Badge Monitor.
Timeout or any other termination condition cancels the LED indication and posts an “Invalid Escort”
alarm, which is recorded in Alarm History on the Host.
