TAP100 Application Software Manual
Starting the Program
Due to the manner in which PC systems allow executing programs to locate and access support
files, the TAP100 program must be executed from the PROXNET directory. This allows the
TAP100 program to locate and access all its support files. If the program is executed from
another directory, it will not be able to locate and access its support files and will not execute
correctly.
If the system is already in the PROXNET directory (identified by a DOS prompt of
C:\PROXNET>
), the program may be executed immediately by typing:
C:\PROXNET>
If the system is not in the PROXNET directory, regardless of which directory the system prompt is
at on the hard drive; to change to the PROXNET directory and begin executing the program, type:
C:\>
cd \proxnet <ENTER>
C:\PROXNET>
Upon execution, the program will clear the screen, identify itself, and request a password. The
following information will appear on the screen.

Configuring the TAP100 Software
This section provides instruction for setting TAP100 program options, identifying the directory
used for storing the program and the data files required by the system, configuring system
communications, configuring the ProxNet control units, and configuring the card readers.
Setting TAP100 Program Options
There are three TAP100 program options: enabling/disabling auditory signals (BEEPs), setting
default time zone values, and setting the event log viewing options.
Using your pointing device, select Setup from the main menu, and then select TAP options. A
prompt box will appear, displaying the three options.
Auditory signals are simply BEEPs from the computer’s speaker that prompt you to enter
information or alert you when a command has been accepted. Using your pointing device, select
A

Use your pointing device and select Enable or Disable to meet your needs and select OK. Or,
select QUIT to exit the selection without making a change.
Set Default Time Zone Values
Setting the default time zone values allows you to set the default time zone value for disabled
access cards and to set the initial enrollment time zone for new cards.
The Default Time Zone Value for Disabled Access Cards
When an active card is disabled, it is automatically assigned to the time zone set by the default
time zone value for disabled access cards command. By setting this default time zone, you give
yourself the ability to disable an access card (and know it cannot have access to a controlled
area) without removing it from the database. This time zone should be configured as a ‘Never’
time zone. A ‘Never’ time zone is defined to not allow access at any time (the process for setting
time zones is described in a later section). You can then re-enable the card at a later date, simply
Revision 3.3Page 17
TAP 100 Application Software Manual
by assigning it to a working time zone. This is an easy and convenient way to disable a card for
someone who is on vacation or has taken a leave-of-absence. The card cannot be used while it is
assigned to this time zone. But, the card remains in the database, and can be quickly enabled
when the person returns.
NOTE: By factory default, time zone 7 has been configured as a ‘Never’ time zone.
The Initial Enrollment Time Zone for New Cards
The initial enrollment time zone for new cards automatically assigns the defined time zone to
newly enrolled cards. These cards stay at this time zone value until manually reassigned by the
software operator. This is an easy and convenient way to assign one time zone to a batch of
cards being enrolled; where one time zone value is set for typical users.
To set the default time zone values, use your pointing device, and select Timezone defaults. A
prompt box will appear, displaying the current time zone values.
Default Time Zones
Disabled Cards: 7
Initial Enrollment: 7
The status message line will display:
Specify timezones to be automatically assigned.
Using your pointing device, select the default time zone value that you want to set, and type in the
number.

carefully. You must know the correct values to enter in these fields; an incorrect entry can entirely
disable your PC’s communication ability.
To define the interrupt request values and port addresses for the four communication ports, use
your pointing device, and select Advanced COM. A prompt box will appear with a table displaying
the factory default com port interrupt request values and port addresses.

Verifying Network Operation
If the TAP100 software has been configured for COM port/serial communication, this command is
used to verify the access control system network is communication properly. To verify network
communication, use your pointing device and select Utility and then Query Network. The status
message line will state:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Once communication has been established, the status message line will go blank and the
following prompt box will appear.

TAP 100 Application Software Manual
The System ID is the address of the master control unit on the network.
Net Faults is a counter keeping track of the number of times there is a network failure or a control
unit goes off-line. If power is removed from a control unit, it will go off-line and the counter will be
incremented. A high number in this field may indicate a loose wire somewhere in the
communication network.
P/O Self Test Fail is a counter keeping track of the number of times there has been a power-on
RAM check failure. This number should be 0. A high number in this field indicates the control
unit’s RAM is being corrupted. This may be due to electrical events such as sparks or static
charges, or it may be due to magnetic interference.
P/O Count is a counter keeping track of the number of times the system’s power has been cycled
on. A high number in this field indicates the control unit’s power is being cycled off and on. Verify
the control unit’s power connections are secure and that its power source is operating properly.
Net Security identifies if all doors on the network are secured or unsecured per the global secure
command (see the Global Secure command on page 38).
Status of Doors identifies how many and which doors are secured. An eight digit hexadecimal
value is displayed in the status of doors field. To determine which doors are secured, a
conversion process must be applied to each digit in that hexadecimal value.
Each hexadecimal digit in the status of doors field represents four doors. Working from right-to-left, the first digit represents doors 1 through 4, the second digit represents doors 5 through 8,
and so on to the eighth digit representing doors 29 through 32.
Each hexadecimal digit must be converted to binary to determine specifically which doors are
secured. Again, working from right-to-left, convert the hexadecimal digit to its binary value. The
first digit in the binary value refers to the first door in the group (i.e. a group of doors 5 through 8,
the first digit would refer to door 5), the second digit refers to the second door (6), the third digit to
the third door (7), and the fourth digit to the fourth door (8). Wherever there is a zero in the binary
value, that indicates the corresponding door is secured.
To simplify this process, a table, breaking down this conversion process is provided in Appendix
1. By working the status of doors value through the table in Appendix 1, you can easily determine
which doors are secured.
Responding Nodes identifies how many and which controllers are responding to the network in a
manner similarly to the status of doors value. An eight digit hexadecimal value is displayed in the
responding nodes field. To determine how many and which controllers are responding, a
conversion process must be applied to each digit in that hexadecimal value.
Each hexadecimal digit in the responding nodes field represents four controllers. Working from
right-to-left, the first digit represents controllers 1 through 4, the second digit represents
controllers 5 through 8, and so on to the eighth digit representing controllers 29 through 32.
Each hexadecimal digit must be converted to binary to determine specifically which controllers
are on-line and active. Again, working from right-to-left, convert the hexadecimal digit to its binary
value. The first digit in the binary value refers to the first controller in the group (i.e. a group of
controllers 5 through 8, the first digit would refer to controller 5), the second digit refers to the
second controller (6), the third digit to the third controller (7), and the fourth digit to the fourth
controller(8). Wherever there is a one in the binary value, that indicates the corresponding
controller is responding to the network.
Page 24Revision 3.3
TAP100 Application Software Manual
To simplify this process, a table, breaking down this conversion process is provided in Appendix
2. By working the responding nodes value through the table in Appendix 2, you can easily
determine which controllers are responding to the network
Favorite Nodes, by factory definition, is always set to 00000001.
Links in Bindery identifies the number of reader I/O links that have been defined for the system.

Configuring the ProxNet
In this section, we will describe the configuration of the ProxNet: setting all system timing
functions, configuring the reader database, and defining the reader’s I/O assignments.
Set the Timing Functions
The following commands deal with setting system time, date, time zone, and holiday zone
functions.
Set the System Time and Date
Synchronizing the time and date between access control units on the network and the host
computer allows for accurate time/date tracking of events. To set the time and date for the control
units on the network to match that of the host computer, use your pointing device and select
U
tility and then Time and Date. The status message line will state:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Once communication has been established, the following prompt box will appear.
SET SYSTEM TIME AND DATE
When you hit ENTER, the time and date
of the ProxLock system will be set to
the computer’s time and date.
Press ESC to quit without changing.
Press
<ESC>
the TAP100 software will set the access control unit’s time and date to match that of the host
computer. The software will confirm the operation completed successfully by displaying the new
time.
For example: If the computer’s time is 17:35:45 (5:35 P.M. and 45 seconds) and its date is July 4,
1995, the following information will be displayed.

( • )Disabled
OKQUIT
The status message line will display:

Use your pointing device and select Enabled or Disabled to match the current daylight savings
mode and select OK. Or, select QUIT to exit the selection without making a change.
NOTE: Daylight Saving Time for all U.S states, the District of Columbia, and U.S.
possessions begins at 2 A.M. on the first Sunday in April and ends at 2 A.M. on the last
Sunday in October.
Set Time Zones
A time zone is a defined block of time that is assigned to a card to allow access. A time zone
consists of either an all encompassing categorization of Never or Always, or it consists of a
definition of the hours and days of the week that access is allowed. Careful setting of the time
zones is critical to the proper operation of your access control system. It is through the use of
time zones that automatic entry and automatic securing of your controlled areas are set.
To begin the set time zone process, use your pointing device and select Utility and then Time
Zones. The following prompt box will appear with the factory default time zone values.
In the above prompt box, TZNUM refers to the identification number for a time zone, ACCESS
PERIOD refers to the period of time that time zone will allow access to the controlled area, and
DAYS OF THE WEEK refers to the days of the week to which the access period is applied.
Revision 3.3Page 27
TAP 100 Application Software Manual
For example: TZNUM 1 has an access period of 07:00 to 18:00 (7 A.M. to 6 P.M.) on Monday
through Friday.
An access card assigned to TZNUM 1 will be allowed access between these hours Monday
through Friday. If used at any other time, an access card assigned to TZNUM 1 will cause an
alarm event.
NOTE: Time zones 0, 6, and 7 have reserved functions. An access card assigned to time
zone 0 will always be allowed access to the controlled area. An access card assigned to
time zone 7 will never be allowed access to the controlled area. Time zone 6 has been
reserved for external purposes.
Before setting the time zones for your access control system, please spend some time and map
out all time zone usage possibilities for your application. Not only do you need to consider the
variety of standard access hours for employees and customers, but you also need to take into
account such requirements as:
• janitorial personnel, who may require late night/early morning hours
• service/repair personnel, who may require access at any time
• supervisory/management personnel, who may require extended access hours
• swing shift, graveyard shift, and flex-time personnel, all with unique access requirements.
A time zone worksheet has been provided in Appendix 2 to assist you in this planning.
Once you have determined your time zone requirements, you can begin setting them into the
system. Remember, time zones 0, 6, and 7 cannot be changed. You can change the factory
default assignments in time zones 1 through 5, or leave these and start fresh with time zone 8. In
either case, the process for changing or creating a time zone is the same.
The easiest way to describe the time zone assignment process is through an example. In this
example, we will set time zone 8 for cards used by a janitorial service. This service performs its
work between 8 P.M. and 11 P.M., Monday through Friday.
Use your pointing device and select the time zone in which you want to set values – in this case,
time zone 8. The time zone will be identified by a bright highlight bar. Use your pointing device
and select Modify. The following prompt box will appear.

When this box appears, it will display either the Special Time Zone window or the Definable Time
Zone window. Use the Left and Right arrow keys to toggle between windows. For this example,
toggle to the Definable Time Zone window.
Use your pointing device and select Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. As
you select these days, an “X” will appear between the brackets for that day. Now use your
pointing device and select the Begin time; type:

The easiest way to describe the reader assignment process is through an example. In this
example, we will define reader 4 as an employees only entry/exit door with two reader antennas.
One of these reader antennas will be used to allow/monitor entrances, the other to allow/monitor
egresses.
Use your pointing device and select the reader in which you want to set values – in this case,
reader 4. The reader will be identified by a bright highlight bar. Use your pointing device and
Revision 3.3Page 33
TAP 100 Application Software Manual
select Modify. The following prompt box will appear with a flashing cursor at the first entry of the
table.

Press ENTER to accept, ESC to abort
The Reader Name A entry allows you to define a short description for that reader; in this
application it is the employee entrance. Type:
EMP ENTRANCE
Use your pointing device and select the Reader Name B entry. The Reader Name B entry is used
when you have two reader antennas attached to the same control unit to control both entrance
and egress. This is true for this example. For Reader Name B, type:
EMP EXIT
This allows you to keep track of when an employee’s access card entered or exited through this
door.
NOTE: There is a 16 character maximum for the Reader Name description. Please use
short names or descriptive abbreviations when entering reader names.
The Open time is the number of seconds a door may be held open for entrance or egress before
an alarm event is generated. The software default is 20 seconds, but we will allow an employee
40 seconds to use the door before an alarm event is generated. Use your pointing device and
select the Open time. Type:
40
The Unlock time is the number of seconds the control unit holds the lock relay open – essentially
the amount of time that an access control door will be held unlocked beginning from when an
access control card is presented to the reader. The software default is 5 seconds, but we will
have the control unit hold the lock relay open for 15 seconds. Use your pointing device and select
the Unlock time. Type:
15
The next entry defines if local APB (versus network APB) is enabled. APB stands for antipassback. This feature is used to ensure one-card/one-way access into and then out of a
controlled area. For local APB, an authorized card presented to an access reader will allow
access, but will not work again for access until presented to the egress reader, or until either the
control unit is reset with the anti-passback amnesty command (see the anti-pass back amnesty
Page 34Revision 3.3
TAP100 Application Software Manual
command on page 70) or 24 hours have passed. This prevents a person from entering a
controlled area with an access card and then “passing” that card back to another person to use
for entry. In network APB, there is one access reader and multiple egress readers; all other rules
apply. The factory default is to disable local APB, but for this example we will enable local APB.
Use your pointing device and select local APB. Type:
Y
The auto-unlock time zone command controls the automatic unlocking of a reader’s door by time
zone. For instance, if time zone 10 is defined to allow employees access between 6 A.M. and 7
P.M., Monday through Friday; by setting the auto-unlock time zone to 10, the reader will
automatically unlock its door for these hours on these days. Use your pointing device and select
auto-unlock time zone 1. Type:
10
A second auto-unlock time zone is provided for maximum flexibility. For instance, different
operating hours may be set for weekends. If time zone 20 is defined to allow employees access
between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M., Saturday and Sunday; by setting the auto-unlock time zone to 20,
the reader will automatically unlock its door for these hours on these days. Use your pointing
device and select auto-unlock time zone 2. Type:
20
NOTE: To support situations where a user presents a valid card but decides not to enter
or is delayed in entering, the system does not impose anti-passback checking until the
user actually opens the door to enter. If the user does not open the door, the same card
can be presented again to the reader without being considered an anti-passback
violation.
Use the supervised I/O entry to tell the TAP100 software if the control unit associated with that
reader uses supervised I/O (a 3-state or 4-state input). For this feature to be used, an OB-3
Input/Output and Alarm Panel Control option board or an OB-9 Dual Door Control option board
must have been installed on the reader’s control unit. The factory default is for this to be disabled,
but we will enable it. Use your pointing device and select supervised I/O. Type:
Y
Use the alarm control entry to tell the TAP100 software if that reader’s control unit has been
configured to use the alarm control panel feature. For this feature to be used, an OB-3
Input/Output and Alarm Panel Control option board must have been installed on the reader’s
control unit and a security fence card slot must be set (refer to the Security Fence command on
page 70). The factory default is for this to be disabled, but we will enable it. Use your pointing
device and select alarm control. Type:
Y
And finally, the input normal polarity entry is used to inform the TAP100 software if the polarity of
the input relay is set to normally open or normally closed. The factory default is for a normally
closed relay (which will open for an alarm event) so leave this as C.
With all these changes, the modifying reader prompt box should appear as follows.

Global Secure
The global secure command locks all doors on the network at a specified time of day, except for
those doors that are programmed to be unlocked per the auto-unlock function of the reader
database. This ensures that any door not specifically programmed to be open is automatically relocked once a day. The factory default value for global secure is 20:00 hours (8 P.M.).

And then the software will return to the main menu.
Setting Reader I/O Assignments
If an application requires that one or more outputs be automatically triggered by one or more
inputs, these input/output relationships must be defined by setting the reader I/O assignments.
You must have an OB-3 Input/Output & Alarm Panel Control option board or an OB-9 Dual Door
Control option board attached to the master control unit associated with a reader for the setting
reader I/O assignments command to be valid.
There are two types of I/O assignments that can be set up between multiple inputs and an
associated output: an ‘OR’ connection and an ‘AND’ connection. If you want an output to be
triggered when any one of a set of inputs is triggered, you want to use an ‘OR’ connection. If you
want an output to be triggered when all of a set of inputs are triggered, you want to use an ‘AND’
connection. In either case, you will use the I/O assignments command to define the physical
location of the inputs and outputs you wish to use, and then describe the linking connections
between these inputs and outputs.
Page 38Revision 3.3
TAP100 Application Software Manual
Setting an ‘OR’ I/O Assignment
To set-up the required input to output links for an ‘OR’ connection, use your pointing device and
select Utilities and then I/O Assignments. The following prompt box will appear.
In an ‘OR’ connection, you will use one I/O assignment link for each input to be ‘OR-ed’ together
(even if these inputs reside on the same option board). All of these links will be assigned to the

NOTE: You can keep ‘OR-ing’ inputs together until all of the available assignment slots
are used. This can be done by using one input from 32 separate controllers or by using
all 4 inputs from 8 controllers or by any combination of inputs and controllers to meet the
32 I/O assignment maximum.
Use the up and down arrows to select the links you wish to define. In this example, we will work
with I/O assignment links 0 and 1. We will use one input on each of the controllers for reader 1
and reader 2, and we will use output 1 on the controller for reader 2.
Use the up and down arrows and place the highlight bar on Link 0. Use your pointing device and
select MODIFY. The following prompt box will appear.
There are five fields you will need to work through to make the I/O assignment. If at any time
during the assignment process you wish to exit without making any changes, use your pointing
device and select QUIT. If at any time you wish to return all inputs and outputs to their factory
default values (all inputs and outputs disabled), use your pointing device and select DISABLE.

Creating/Maintaining a User Database
Once the TAP100 software, communications and the ProxNet have been configured, a user
database needs to be created and maintained. This section describes the process used to create
and maintain a user database: creating a cardfile and maintaining transaction data files.

Create a Cardfile Database
This section describes the commands used to enroll cards and create a cardfile, to search for
specific cardholder data, and to void cards from the system.
In the TAP100 software, cards are managed by enrolling them in a “slot.” A slot is a holding place
for information that applies to a specific card. Once cards are enrolled, information is entered
describing the person holding the card and the rights assigned to that person. This information
includes the slot’s identification number, the card’s unique number code, personnel information
regarding the person holding that card, and time zone information to be applied to that card.
Enrolling Cards
When enrolling cards, you can enroll a single card or a batch of cards. If you enroll a batch of
cards, they must be enrolled in consecutive slot numbers (i.e. 6 cards in slots 5 through 10). To
enroll cards in the system, use your pointing device and select Cards, and then Enroll Batch of
Cards. The following prompt box will appear.
BATCH ENROLL MODE

Use your pointing device and enter the starting slot and the ending slot. If you are not satisfied
with your entry, select QUIT to exit the selection without making a change. If your entry is correct,
use your pointing device and select OK.
For example: If you are entering one card into slot 5, the following prompt box will appear asking
you to confirm this entry.
You are about to enroll 1 cards at slots 5 to 5.
DO YOU REALLY

change. If your entry is correct, use your pointing device and select OK. The following prompt box
will appear.
You are about to void slots 1 to 3.
DO YOU REALLY
WANT TO DO THIS?
YES/OK
Since voiding cards removes them from the access control system, not allowing cardholders
access, the TAP100 software asks you to verify that the slot numbers you have entered are
indeed the ones to void. Review your entries and if they are not correct, you can exit the voiding
cards process by using your pointing device and selecting NO/CANCEL. Otherwise, use your
pointing device and select YES/OK. The following prompt box will appear.
This cannot be undone!!!
DO YOU REALLY
WANT TO DO THIS?
YES/OK
Since the voiding of cards cannot be undone requiring you to reenter all user information if a card
was voided incorrectly, the TAP100 software will prompt you one last time to verify that you do
indeed want to void these cards. This is your final opportunity to end the process without making
a change if you are not sure you want to void these cards. You can exit the voiding cards process
by using your pointing device and selecting NO/CANCEL. Otherwise, use your pointing device
and select YES/OK. The Status Message Line will display:

Archiving a Transaction Log
For efficient data storage purposes, we recommend you periodically archive the transaction log.
This can allow you to maintain a set of unique transaction files for time periods that you can refer
to at a later date. For example, you could archive the transaction log once a month, naming the
archive file in a manner that identifies the time-period being archived (i.e. jan96.dbf and jan96.cdx
for the transaction log for the month of January, 1996).
To archive a transaction log, you will have to exit the TAP100 software and execute a series of
DOS commands.
From the TAP100 main menu, use your pointing device and select QUIT and then select YES/OK
to exit the program. Following the example above, at the DOS prompt type:
C:\PROXNET>
After a short delay, the DOS prompt will return. Type:
C:\PROXNET>
These DOS commands save the contents of the entire transaction log into two DOS files.
To restart the TAP100 software, at the DOS prompt type:
C:\PROXNET>
ren log.dbf jan96.dbf <ENTER>
ren log.cdx jan96.cdx <ENTER>
tap100 <ENTER>
When the TAP100 software starts, the default transaction files will be empty, ready for a new set
of transaction data.

Advanced Commands
Advanced commands are used to perform specific immediate tasks on the network. These tasks
include real-time monitoring of network events, installing a new reader to an existing network,
immediate reader locking and unlocking, global locking and unlocking of all readers, and card
security functions.
Monitor Network Events
The monitor network events command allows you to monitor the network communication line and
review in real-time events that are occurring at the readers and alarm relays. To monitor network
events, use your pointing device and select Transactions, and then Monitor Events. The Status
Message Line will display:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Once communication is established with the network, the Status Message Line will display:

TAP100 Application Software Manual
Install New Reader
The install new reader command sends all the required TAP100 software operating/configuration
information to a reader that has been added to the access control network. It may also be used to
re-initialize a reader that has had its EPROM firmware updated or is no longer responding to the
access control network.
NOTE: When used to re-initialize a reader that has had its EPROM firmware updated or
is no longer responding to the access control network, the install new reader command
must be used with caution because it clears out all events stored locally for that reader.
To install a new reader, use your pointing device and select Readers and then Install new reader.
The following prompt box will appear.
Reader number to install: (1-32)
Communication will begin with the selected reader and the Status Message Line will display:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Once communication has been established, the Status Message Line will then change to reflect
each new block of information being sent to the new reader. When complete, the display
automatically returns to the main menu screen.
NOTE: After installing a new reader, we recommend executing the Verify Network
command on page 23 and the Query Status of a Reader command on page 37 to verify
the reader installation has been recognized by the ProxNet system.
Once the new reader has been added, the reader should be configured in the ProxNet system
(see the Configure the Readers section beginning on page 33). The card database should also
be modified to apply the new reader’s access control information to user’s cards (see the Open
Cardholder File command beginning on page 50).
Lock/Unlock Commands
There are two types of lock/unlock commands. The first type performs an immediate lock or
unlock of a door connected to one reader. The second type enables or disables the automatic
locking or unlocking all readers on the network at one time.
Lock A Reader
The lock a reader command immediately locks a selected reader, preventing access or egress.
To immediately lock a reader, use your pointing device and select Readers and then Lock a
reader. The following prompt box will appear.
Reader number to lock: (1-32)
The Status Message Line will display:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Revision 3.3Page 67
TAP 100 Application Software Manual
Once communication is complete, the reader is locked.
Unlock A Reader
The unlock a reader command immediately unlocks a selected reader, allowing access or egress.
To immediately unlock a reader, use your pointing device and select Readers and then Unlock a
reader. The following prompt box will appear.
Reader number to unlock: (1-32)
The Status Message Line will display:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Once communication is complete, the reader is unlocked.
Enable Global Lock/Unlock
The enable global lock/unlock (GLU) function allows an external device to automatically lock or
unlock all readers on the network at one time. The factory default value is to disable this feature,
so you must enable the global lock/unlock feature if you want to use it.
When enabled, the master control unit will monitor the input state of the External Time Zone input
relay, also known as AUX IP0 (TB1, pins 1 and 2). The default sense of the GLU input is TTL
Logic 0, corresponding to a global lock readers command. TTL Logic 1 at the GLU input
corresponding to a global unlock readers command. All other system functions continue to
operate as usual, including the automatic lock/unlock (ALU) time functions.
While enabled and the GLU input is in the locked state, all doors on the network will remain
locked until one of three possible conditions are detected.
1. A change in the GLU input state from 0 to 1 is received.
2. An unlock a reader command is received.
3. An ALU time is met.
When one of these conditions is achieved, the appropriate doors will be unlocked.
While enabled and the GLU input is in the unlocked state, all doors on the network will remain
unlocked until a change in the GLU input from 1 to 0 is received. When this condition is achieved,
all doors will be locked without exception. The GLU lock command takes precedence over all
other functions including the ALU function.
Enabling the GLU feature will immediately lock all doors if the GLU input is at the appropriate
state.
Regardless of if the GLU command is enabled or disabled, every state change at the GLU input is
logged and forwarded to the host.
To enable the global lock/unlock function, use your pointing device and select Readers and then
Enable global lock/unlock. The Status Message Line will display:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Page 68Revision 3.3
TAP100 Application Software Manual
Once communication is complete, the global lock/unlock function has been enabled.
Disable Global Lock/Unlock
The disable global lock/unlock (GLU) function disables the ability for an external device to
automatically lock or unlock all readers on the network at one time.
Disabling the GLU feature from the enabled state while a global unlock is in force will immediately
lock all doors and then restore the doors to the appropriate automatic lock/unlock (ALU) state
(see Table 2 to determine the appropriate ALU state).
Regardless of if the GLU command is enabled or disabled, every state change at the GLU input is
logged and forwarded to the host.
To disable the global lock/unlock function, use your pointing device and select Readers and then
Disable global lock/unlock. The Status Message Line will display:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Once communication is complete, the global lock/unlock function has been disabled.

Card Security Management Commands
There are two system security management commands. The first, anti-passback amnesty, clears
the anti-passback counter allowing “reaccess” for cards. The second, the card security fence,
allows cards to remotely arm an alarm panel.
Anti-Passback Amnesty
The anti-passback command is used to ensure one-card/one-way access into and then out of a
controlled area. An authorized card presented to the access reader will allow access, but will not
work again for access until one of three things happens: the card has been used to exit through
an egress reader, 24 hours have passed, or the access control system has been reset by the
Anti-passback amnesty command. This command resets the passback status flag for all cards in
the system, allowing a card previously considered inside the access area to be reused for access.
To grant anti-passback amnesty, use your pointing device and select Utility, and then APB
Amnesty. The Status Message Line will display:
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
Once communication is complete, anti-passback amnesty has been granted.
Set the Card Security Fence
The card security fence command allows cards to be used to remotely arm or disarm an alarm
panel. To set the security fence, a slot number is designated to be a boundary between
“privilegded” and “non-privileged” cards. Cards at or below this slot number become privilidged
cards, cards that are above this slot number become non-privilgeded cards. When a priviliged
card is presented to a reader, the reader’s alarm panel becomes armed. Non-priviliged cards can
still be granted access, but will cause an alarm event if the alarm panel has been armed. The
factory default slot number is 0, disabling this command. For hardware implementation
information, please refer to the OB-3 Input/Output and Alarm Panel Control option board manual.
To set the security fence, determine the slot number at which you wish to make the priviliged/nonpriviliged division.
For example: To set the security fence to slot 100, use your pointing device and select Cards and
then Security Fence. The following prompt box will appear.
Security Fence
Enter slot number:
Type:
0 1 0 0 <ENTER>
The Status Message Line will display:
