Node Double Card Presentation

When a reader is configured for Double Card Presentation, the reader will remain in the credential 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. If Double Card Presentation is using a schedule, a person with Double card presentation authority will not be able to unlock the reader before the schedule starts or after the schedule ends but will be granted access.

The Double card presentation authorized option 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 credential mode.
When a PIN is required during a schedule, people need to enter their PIN twice, after each credential is read. The system allows up to 15 seconds between the two reader/keypad entries.
Require PIN during schedule must be selected for keypad readers, and people that need access to the keypad reader must have a PIN issued to them.
If the Double card presentation schedule is set to "Always", and 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.
