2. Deploying the Security Gate

Once the security gate has been installed in the designated area, most likely somewhere

near the exit, users may examine the functionality of the security gate by walking through the

gate with books that has been encoded.

The security gate can operate even without network connectivity. This design ensures

security policies continue to be enforced during network or server failure. The security gate will

trigger the alarm and switch to alert status if there is any book with security flag enabled. By

default, books returned to the library will have security flag enabled whereas books successfully

borrowed by patron will have security flag disabled. The security gate has blue light lit when it’s

in normal status. The security gate will trigger the alarm, which is the combination of buzzer

sound and red light flashing when it’s in alert status.

To validate the security gate, users can perform three basic scenarios below and check the

corresponding light and sound of the security gate.
