Door Modes
- Credential: This is the default door mode during which the door remains locked, and a credential is required to unlock the door. The door remains in a locked state until it is unlocked for a scheduled unlock or double card read. When the schedule is no longer active, the reader returns to the default mode.
- Unlocked: During this mode, the door is unlocked and remains unlocked until it returns to Credential mode when a scheduled unlock expires or a double card read occurs.
- Credential - Permanent: The door remains in Credential mode with or without a schedule, and during an active threat level or normal operation.
- Unlocked - Permanent: The door remains in Unlocked mode with or without a schedule, and during an active threat level or normal operation.
