Controlling all Doors in a 
Specific Area 
Tip: Reader commands pertain to the 
readers that allow entering
 the selected 
area. 
 Ensure you are in the 'Forms' view 
(click Form on the toolbar); 
 Select the desired area (bottom of 
window); 
 Use one of the four buttons in the 
centre of the screen to select your 
desired action. 
Refer to the selection-descriptions if you'd 
like more information. (And wait while the 
changes take effect).
Elevator Readers: These commands do not apply to 
readers in elevator (lift) cabs. To control an elevator 
and/or its associated reader, refer to "Checking Status 
or Controlling Elevators". 
Controlling a Door in a Specific Area 
 Ensure you are in the 'Forms' view (click Form 
on the toolbar); 
 Select the desired "Area" (bottom of window), 
and locate the specific door in the list; 
 Find your desired door in the list near the 
bottom left corner of the screen. Then, click 
the small button in the 'state' column for the 
door, and select from the list that appears. 
(Wait briefly for any changes to take effect). 
If the button is not present, this means you do not have 
'Door Control' authority. If card-access is presently 
'locked-out', you may need to use an 'area-wide' 
command to reinstate card-access before the door can 
be unlocked. Locking-out cards automatically causes 
the door to lock. 
Doors can be set to unlock and re-lock at certain times 
and/or in-sync with the arming state for the associated 
area. For details, refer to "Areas and Related Settings", 
and "Doors, Readers, and Related Settings". 
Bypassing an Input Point in a Specific 
Area 
To bypass an input point in a specific area, 
allowing the area to be armed, or remove a 
'bypass', allowing the sensor to be monitored: 
 Ensure you are in the 'Forms' view (click 
Form on the toolbar); 
 Select the desired area (bottom of window), 
and locate the specific input-point in the list; 
 Click the small button on the right of the 
input-point status, and select from the list 
that appears. (Wait briefly for the change to 
take effect). 
If the button is not present, this means either that the 
input-point is not of a 'bypassable' type, or you do not 
the authority to bypass input-points. 
A user's authorities can be set to automatically remove 
any 'bypasses' that are in effect when they enter an 
area (to help ensure that any faulty sensors are not 
forgotten). For details, refer to the "Auto Remove 
Bypass" setting under "Authorities for Users/Entrants". 
- Area (bottom of form): This is where you select 
an area to view its status or control items. This 
shows a reference number assigned by the 
system, plus the name/description of the area as 
defined under 'Configuration'. 
- [Off], [Stay], and [On]: These buttons indicate 
the present arming-level of the area, and allow 
arming/disarming an area as desired (if you 
have this authority). Note: If an item is in 
'alarm' or 'trouble', this should be corrected 
before you proceed. (The system will typically 
prompt you to deal with the situation). 
- Fire / Alarm: Whether or not any fire-type inputs 
and/or other inputs in the area have been 
'tripped'. 
[Silence]:  This allows silencing alarms that are in 
effect as desired—if you have this authority. 
- Ready, etc.: Various misc. status aspects for 
the specific area (if the area is ready to be 
armed, or if doors are open, etc.).
