Double Card Presentation

When a reader is configured for Double Card Presentation, the reader will remain in the configured reader mode until authorized personnel arrive. Once a person with Double Card Presentation authority presents their badge twice to a reader, access is granted, and the reader mode changes to unlocked. The door remains unlocked until a person with Double Card Presentation authority presents their badge twice again.

Double card presentation authorized must be enabled for people via People Groups with access to readers configured for double card presentation.
When a door is unlocked, a double card presentation should return the reader to the default reader mode.
If the reader is in card-and-PIN mode, people only need to enter their PIN once after the first credential read. A PIN entry after the second read is ignored.
If the reader is set to a schedule:
- When people perform a double card presentation before the reader schedule starts, the door will remain unlocked until the reader schedule ends.
- When people perform a double card presentation during the reader schedule, the door will remain unlocked until a double card presentation is performed again, even if the reader schedule ends.
