FAQS & TERMS

These are terms that are important to know or understand when working with the DSR Solution.

• "Lock" generally refers to the Assa Reader and Lock Body as a unit. Reader and Lock can be used interchangeable in the appropriate context.

• "Access Point" (AP) refers to the Lock or Door where the lock is installed.

• "Access Point Mode" (AP Mode) is a door schedule that is assigned to a selected lock(s) or door(s).

  The AP Mode controls when the lock(s) is unlocked and locked.

• "Lock Group" is group of locks that can be controlled with a single-click response by the SG Operator.

  The operator can send a pulse, lock, or unlock command to all the locks in the group with one click.

  Lock Groups do not use schedules.

• "Authorization" is simply an access rule for access cards (Users).

  An Authorization assigns one or more locks/doors to a schedule. Authorizations are then applied to an access card during User enrollment. more ... This way the User is granted "valid access" to only the doors that belong to that Authorization and only during its assigned schedule. An access card is subject to additional controls (i.e. activation date, expiration date, user activation, card activation, etc.)
