Types of Door Access Control

GV-AS100 / GV-AS110 / GV-AS400 Controllers can be configured to support the following
types of door access control. By default, GV-AS 100 / GV-AS110 Controllers are set to one-
way control and GV-AS400 Controllers are set to two–way control.
One-way control: A door is equipped with one card reader for entry. For example, a
user may swipe a card to open the door of office and push a button to leave from the
same door.
Two-way control: A door is equipped with two card readers. The outer reader is
defined as entry reader and the inner reader is defined as exit reader. For example, a
user may swipe a card to gain access to a laboratory, and swipe a card to exit from the
same door.
Mixed control: A mix of One-Way and Two-Way Control applications. Some doors are
equipped with one card reader for entry and some doors are equipped with two card
readers for entry and exit. For example, a building includes both office and laboratory
applications.
One-way traffic: Two doors are applied for entry and exit separately. For example, in a
parking lot, a user may swipe a card at the entrance and swipe a card again at the exit.

Installation Considerations
