: Use the descriptions in the following table to configure each individual lock or Reader LED:
Table 2-6:  Configuration > Doors > Output Tab Field Descriptions
Setting Description
Name Enter a unique name to identify the device.
Pulse Time Specifies the duration for which the device will assume abnormal 
status. For example, it specifies how long a horn will sound or a door 
strike will remain released. Enter the desired number of hours (1024 
maximum), minutes (60 maximum), and seconds (60 maximum). 
The sum of all three units comprises the pulse time. Note that you 
can express seconds in tenths of a second. The default pulse time of 
the reader LED is two seconds, and the default pulse time of the door 
lock is 10 seconds. You may want to change the reader LED pulse 
time to match the pulse time of the door lock, for example, to enable 
a guard to know that the door is still open, or to support handicap 
access.
Time Zones Specifies two schedules:
•
Energized – sets the period during which the output switches 
are automatically energized.
•
Disable Interlock – sets the period during which the interlock, or 
a programmed interaction between selected inputs and outputs 
will be disabled.
Latching When selected, this toggles a relay with either a valid card, interlock, 
or manual pulse.
Interlock Enables you to disable the interlock, or programmed interaction 
between two points.
TZ Card Toggle Requires, like the First Card Rule, a valid card read within the time 
zone to enable the time zone (period in which doors are unlocked) to 
take effect. Unlike the First Card Rule, however, the user can swipe 
the card a second time to return the doors to a locked state. Note that 
both TZ Card Toggle and First Card Rule cannot be enabled at the 
same time.
First Card Rule Requires a valid card read within the time zone to enable the time 
zone (period in which doors are unlocked) can take effect. Note that 
both TZ Card Toggle and First Card Rule cannot be enabled at the 
same time.

The Inputs tab enables you to: 
• Define the Status, Egress, and Tamper inputs’ access modes.
• Specify the Status, Egress, and Tamper shunt time, or the period of time the door’s normal state 
will be ignored.
• Specify the Status, Egress, and Tamper debounce time, or the period of time the input must 
remain in its new state before it is recognized as being in the new state.
• Specify the time zones for the Status, Egress, and Tamper inputs.
• Enable or disable Auto-Relock for the Status inputs.

Table 2-7:  Configuration > Doors > Inputs Tab Field Descriptions
Setting Description
Mode
Normally Closed – Specifies that the door’s normal state is 
closed.
Normally Open – Specifies that the door’s normal state is open.
Unsupervised – Specifies that the door’s electrical circuit is 
wired in one path without alternative paths supervised by 
resistors.
Supervised – Specifies that the door’s electrical circuit is wired 
with alternative paths supervised by resistors.
R1 & R2 Values – Specifies the resistor values being used in the 
supervised modes. The default is 2.2K.
Shunt Time Specifies the amount of time for which the inputs will be 
shunted, or de-activated. For example, it specifies how long a 
door strike will remain released. Enter the desired number of 
hours (1024 maximum), minutes (60 maximum), and seconds 
(60 maximum). The sum of all three units comprises the shunt 
time. Note that you can express seconds in tenths of a second.
Time Zones
Shunt – Specifies the time period during which the input will be 
ignored.
Disable Interlock – Specifies the time period during which the 
programmed action on this input from another point will be 
disabled.
Disable Alarm Msgs – Specifies the time period during which 
Alarm and Normal will not be reported, but Short and Cut will 
be reported.
Auto-Relock Causes the door to re-lock immediately when the door status 
switch closes after entry. The output relay that controls the door 
strike de-energizes when the associated input returns to normal 
state instead of remaining energized for the duration of the pulse 
time. To enable Auto-Relock, de-select the 
Disable checkbox, 
and select the associated output from the drop down list.

2.5  Configuring Access Levels
Every card is assigned an access level. The access level specifies the time zone, or time schedule, 
during which the card holder can be granted access at a specific door. For example, an access level 
embedded in an employee’s card might allow the employee to enter the facility only through door 2 
from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. 
This section explains how to create the access levels that subsequently can be assigned to cards.
Note:  Since an access level is defined by door and time zone configurations, you must configure the 
door (see “Configuring the Doors“ on page 31) and the time zone (see “Configuring Time 
Management“ on page 24) before configuring an access level.
Click Access Levels to display the Access Level Configuration screen:
Figure 2-16:   Configuration > Access Levels
The Access Levels screen enables you to: 
• Create an access level.
• Modify an access level.
• Delete an access level.
• Set a Time Zone for each door. 
						

							46www.honeywell.com Configuring via the Web Server
Configuring the System
Steps to create an access level: 
1. Select the door(s). The access level will allow access only at the door(s) you select here.
2. Enter the name of the access level in the 
Name field. This should be a unique name that 
identifies the general user group.
3. Select the time zone you want from the drop down list in the 
Time Zone field. The access level 
will allow access to the card holder only during this time zone.
4. Click the 
Add Level button.
Steps to assign a Time Zone to a door: 
1. Select the checkbox next to the door you desire. The Time Zone field appears.
2. From the Time Zone dropdown list, select the Time Zone you want to assign to the door. Note 
that a Time Zone must be configured in Configuration > Time Management before it appears in 
the dropdown list.
Steps to modify an access level: 
1. From the drop down list in the Level field, select the number of the access level you want to 
modify.
2. Make the desired modifications.
3. Click the 
Modify button.
Steps to delete an access level: 
1. Select the number of the access level you want to delete from the drop down list in the 
Level 
field.
2. Click the 
Delete button.
3. Click 
OK at the prompt to delete the access level.
Note that when you create an access level for a panel in a loop configuration, you must manually 
configure this access level at each panel in the loop. For example, suppose you have three panels in a 
loop, and you add a Master Access level to panel 1 and you configure readers 1-4 on panel 1 with this 
access level. When you save the access level configuration at panel 1, the access level is automatically 
copied to panels 2 and 3. However, the readers at panels 2 and 3 are not yet configured. So you still 
must go to panels 2 and 3 to assign the access level to the readers at these panels. To do this, navigate 
back to the Select Panel on the NetAXS™ main screen, select the next panel in the loop, and configure 
that panel’s doors according to the instructions in this section.

2.6  Maintaining Cards
A card is encoded with a unique number and the card holder’s rights to access NetAXS™ system 
resources. For example, in addition to its unique number, a card would allow the card holder to be 
granted access to certain doors during a certain time of day.
2.6.1  Adding New Cards
Click Cards > Add Card(s) to display the Add New Card(s) screen:
Figure 2-17:   Cards > Add Cards

Steps: 
Use the field descriptions in the following table to complete the card fields and click 
Add Card(s):
Table 2-8:  Cards > Add Cards Field Descriptions
Field Description
Card Number(s) Specifies the unique number by which the card holder will be 
identified. A card number is required.
Card Holder Name Identifies the card holder. A card holder first and last name is 
required. Each name can have up to 25 characters.
Card Type Specifies whether the card holder is a Supervisor, Employee, or a 
VIP. A temporary (Temp) flag can be set for each type of card holder. 
When the Temp flag is enabled, the expiration date becomes an 
active field. Note that the Temp box is active when the panel is 
configured for visitor cards in Configuration > System > General 
(see “General Tab“ on page 14). A card type is required.
PIN Specifies the Personal Identification Number (PIN) for the card 
holder. A PIN is optional; however, if the door reader is configured to 
require PIN identification (see “Reader Tab“ on page 31), then you 
must create a PIN for the card holder here. The PIN number has a 
maximum of six digits.
Trace Sends an alarm message to the alarm monitor whenever a card with 
trace enabled is presented at a reader. This feature provides a trace of 
the cardholder’s path through the facility.
Expiration Date Specifies the date that a temporary employee’s card is de-activated. 
Use Limits Specifies the number of times a card may be read at a card reader to 
which it has valid access. Specify the number-of-uses limit as the 
number of times access may be granted.
