1.3 Standard Operation
When a visitor of the leisure facility holds their data carrier next to the illuminated round RFID scan field, the GAT
Access 6100 reads the information on the data carrier and sends the data over the network (Ethernet) to a server
for evaluation. The visitor’s authorisation is checked and a response returned to the GAT Access 6100. When access is
granted, the GAT Access 6100 activates a corresponding relay output that opens the connected turnstile or gate for a
certain time period.
Visitors using the GAT Access 6100 F BIO must also scan their fingerprints (if this is activated) for additional
verification. The terminal compares the scanned fingerprint of a visitor with the data stored on the visitor’s data
carrier and grants access only when the visitor is authorised and the fingerprint data matches.
Different settings for the GAT Access 6xxx, e.g., the access time of a turnstile/gate or the text displayed on the
terminal, can be defined via the configuration settings in GAT Config Manager. See "4.3. Configuration Settings" for
more information on configuring the terminals.
Note: The GAT TimeAxx 6150 operates differently to the description above. After user identification the terminal
activates the external application (e.g., opens the shower valve) and starts a countdown timer. The user can
pause the countdown and restart as required. After a configurable time the terminal deactivates the
application.
1.4 Operating Modes
The GAT Access 6100 access terminals operate in online mode. They must always be connected to a server/host
computer. In Online mode the GAT Access 6100 automatically sends the information of a data carrier over the
interface to the host computer and waits for an appropriate reaction from the host. An exception is the GAT Access
6100 F Enrollment Station, which usually operates in Offline Mode.
For instances where an error occurs or the communication is interrupted, the GAT Access 6100 can switch into
Emergency mode or Out of Order mode (depending on the configuration). For more information about the operating
modes see chapter "6. Communication".
