Facility Code and Duress Specification

Credential templates are mapped to the door. What type of badges will be used

to access this door. The readers have to be configured to decode the bits on

the badge. Decisions can be made using the facility code. IE: for an outdoor

restroom at the company recreation facility…do we really care who enters? We

can configure the door to open if any badge with a specific facility code is

presented. IE: any company badge can open the door.

Duress Specification is used to enable a person

to signal for help when using a key pad for entry,

with out alerting anyone near them.

Assume the duress code is 8

If a user is being coerced into opening a door, and

their PIN is 1234x, if they enter 12348 as the PIN,

the door will open and a message will be posted

to the site security that a duress code was used.

It provides a silent alert that the door was not

opened under normal circumstances even though

a valid badge and PIN were used.
