2.4  Configuring the Doors
Each NetAXS™ panel supports four doors. For each door, you must configure the readers, inputs, and 
outputs.
At Configuration > Doors in the task menu at the left margin of the NetAXS™ screen, click 
1 to 
display the Door Configuration screen for door 1. Follow the same procedures below for doors 2, 3, 
and 4 for each panel.
2.4.1  Reader Tab
A reader is a device that reads cards and either grants or denies access at the door.
Click the 
Reader tab:
Figure 2-11:   Configuration > Doors > Reader > General Tab
The Reader tab enables you to: 
• Define the time zone during which the reader will be disabled. When the reader is disabled, 
neither exit nor entry by Card and PIN mode or Card or PIN mode is allowed. Also, free egress 
is not allowed.
Note: Should a conflict arise among the time zones set in the Access Mode Time Zones box on 
the Reader > General tab, priority is given to the time zone that is highest in the list of time 
zones displayed on the tab. Therefore, the Disabled time zone has highest priority, and the Card 
Only time zone has lowest priority.

• Define the time zone during which the reader will be in lockdown mode (see Time Zones Tab, 
page 26 for details about setting time zones). When the reader is in lockdown mode, entry is 
prevented but egress is still allowed.
• Define the reader’s access mode (the combination of card and/or PIN entry required by the 
reader). Note that the access mode defined here for the door can be overridden by a card 
assigned with a VIP card type (see “Adding New Cards“ on page 47 for information about 
assigning a VIP card type).
• Enable the Card Only, PIN Only, Card and PIN, and Card or PIN access modes with either the 
Supervisor or Escort rule:
– Supervisor Rule: When the supervisor presents his card during the specified time zone just 
once, he gains access but does not enable access for non-supervisory personnel. 
– Escort Rule: This rule requires a supervisor escort for a non-supervisor.
• Configure the anti-passback feature. When enabled, the anti-passback feature prevents an 
entrant to an area from passing his card back to another potential entrant. Note that 
anti-passback must first be enabled at the Configuration > System > General screen (see 
General Tab, page 14).
• Specify the data format the reader must use to read the card data.
• Reconfigure a selected format’s data layout.

: 
1. Use the descriptions in the table below to configure the General reader settings.
Table 2-4:  Configuration > Doors > Reader Tab Descriptions
Setting Description
Access Mode Specifies the validation conditions required at the door before 
access is granted. For each access mode, you must also select a 
time zone from the drop down list. The time zone is the schedule 
by which the access mode is effective.
Disabled – Ignores all card reads (except from a VIP card), 
allows neither exit nor entry by Card-and-PIN mode or 
Card-or-PIN mode. Also, free egress is not allowed.
Lockdown – Ignores all card reads (except from a VIP card), 
denies door entry but allows egress.
Card and Pin – Grants access only with both a successful card 
read and a valid PIN entry at the door’s keypad. You can 
perform the card read and PIN entry in either sequence.
Card or Pin – Grants access with either a successful card read or 
a valid PIN number entry at the door’s keypad.
Pin Only – Grants access with only a valid PIN number entered 
at the door’s keypad.
Card Only – Grants access with only a successful card read.
Supervisor – Enables a supervisor to enter without allowing 
access to others. When the supervisor presents his card during 
the time zone just once, he gains access but does not enable 
access for non-supervisory personnel. If the supervisor presents 
his card twice, he enables access for all non-supervisory 
personnel as well. After the supervisor presents his card twice to 
allow general access, he can disable the general access for the 
time zone by presenting his card again twice consecutively.
Escort – Requires a supervisor escort for a non-supervisor 
cardholder. The supervisor must present his card first, then the 
non-supervisor must present his card within ten seconds of the 
supervisor’s card read.

2. Click Card Formats at the side of the tab. A card format tells the panel how the card number 
will be read. The panel supplies the format to the card readers. Then, the card readers can 
correctly read the card.
Anti-Passback Configures the anti-passback feature, which prevents an entrant 
to an area from passing his card back to another potential 
entrant. Note that anti-passback must first be enabled at the 
Configuration > System > General screen (see General Tab, 
page 14).
Enabled – Enables the anti-passback feature.
Hard – Does not allow a second entry on the same card without 
an exit; validates in/out status before allowing entry.
Soft – Allows entry on the same card without an exit; however, 
an event is generated that indicates violation.
Out – Applies to readers located inside the area. Cardholders use 
these readers when attempting to exit the area.
In – Applies to readers located outside the area. These are 
readers that cardholders use when attempting to enter the area.
Duress Output Configures the output that will trip when a cardholder enters a 
“duress PIN” at a keypad/card reader. A duress PIN is the PIN a 
user enters at a keypad when being forced (perhaps in a robbery) 
to open a door. The user enters his normal PIN, except one of the 
digits is one number higher or lower than the normal digit. This 
PIN opens the door, but it also triggers the designated duress 
output and produces an alarm.
The duress output feature requires the following:
• “Duress” must be enabled on the Configuration > System 
> General tab.
• A time zone must be selected for “Card and PIN” on the 
Configuration > Doors > Reader tab.

3. Click to highlight each desired card format listed in the Available box, and click the green right 
arrow   button to move the format(s) into the Selected box. 
Note: If you select no formats, the reader will function in legacy mode and the reader interprets 
the panel’s formats. If you select a subset of formats for a given reader, the reader will interpret 
only those formats and ignore formats that are not selected.
4. Click 
Submit Changes.
5. If you want to create a new card format, click the New Format button to display an empty Card 
Format Data Layout screen. Use the field descriptions given in the following table to define the 
layout and click 
Save.
Note: To disable a field, enter “--” in the Start Bit box and “0” in the Num Bits box.

Name Displays the name by which the format will be listed in the 
Card Formats tab. The name is user-defined.
Reverse Bit Order Returns the message from the reader in reverse bit order 
(least significant bit first and most significant bit last).

2.4.2  Outputs Tab
An output, or output relay, is a switch on the panel that either energizes or de-energizes or pulses an 
output device, such as a door lock or an LED. For example, a successful card read at a reader (input 
device) causes the output relay switch on the panel board to change the normal state of a door lock 
(output device), so that the normally locked door strike releases and permits entry. This tab configures 
the lock and reader LED output relays, either as individual (discrete) outputs or groups of outputs.
Click the 
Outputs tab. The Lock > Discrete tab window appears, enabling you to configure an 
individual lock output. Select the output number in the dropdown list at the top of the screen. Note that 
lock and reader LED outputs are associated with each of the four doors on a NetAXS™ panel.

To view a configuration of a group of outputs, click
