2 Introduction

The AccessZone® Access Control Systems are well suited for use in private homes, shops and companies and can be scaled from a single GateController™ to multiple GateControllers.

They are unique wireless access control systems built on Bluetooth wireless technology – a wireless technology that operates in the license free ISM band at 2.4 GHz.

The systems only allow access to users who can be identified by their unique Key ID and optional a 4 digit PIN code for increased security. The used mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices must be set to “visible” to allow them to be discovered by the system.

This eliminates the need for mechanical readers and keyboards outside the secured area. This removes the risk for property damage and breakdown due to harsh environmental conditions and heavy use.

A feature might require a firmware update of your system to be supported. Please refer to the GC630/GC640/GC670 or GC3000 firmware Release Note for the latest updates.

4.2 Main Screen

The image below shows how the main screen is organized.

The upper left screen shows a customized overview image (e.g. CAD drawing) of the secured area or building. You can freely make your own drawing of the secure area/building. The overview image can be enabled/disabled.

The different door, barrier and gate symbols can also be customized and be placed freely anyway on the overview drawing. The symbols are automatically updated according to the status events for all the connected GateControllers. I.e. is the door/barrier/gate open or closed etc.

You can design an overview image which looks like the real environment to ease identification of the user accesses and other events.

To the right video images can be shown from a freely selected folder on the PC or server for each GateController™. The images are automatically updated to show the latest image. I.e. it can be images from surveillance cameras at the location. The system administrator can then get a visual indication of the last access as well. This can be enabled/disabled.

The bottom half shows an event log for all detected users and other events in real time.

Bottom left shows a list with all the controlled GateControllers. Below a list of all registered users (SBD-keys) for easy maintenance and last a list with all the profiles and the users associated with each profile for an easy overview.

General! A feature must be enabled for a GateController™ and for a user before it becomes active. I.e. this makes it possible to enable a feature for a GateController™ and then specify whatever the feature is going to be used for each user. And a feature can be permanently disabled for all users by disabling the feature for the GateController™ etc.
