5.10 General Open Function (Group Entry)
The GAT Access 6100 can be set to operate in "General Open" mode. When this function is active, the turnstile or
gate is permanently unlocked. The green LED and a corresponding message on the terminal's display indicate to
the user that the access point is open. In addition, the user does not have to present their data carrier for
identification at the terminal.
When the general open function is active, the connected management software receives a signal when someone
goes through the access point. This allows the software to manage the number of visitors entering the facility and
can be used to handle group entries for example.
The general open mode can be activated and deactivated with or without data carrier identification. This is a
configurable setting.
Note: To use the general open function, the GAT Access 6100 terminal requires firmware version 4.5.0 or higher
(see GANTNER partner web page).
5.11 External Release Function
The external release function allows external hardware, such as a push button or turnstile, to be activated (opened)
by the GAT Access 6100. The external hardware can connect to any of the terminal’s optocoupler inputs. The
function is activated in GAT Config Manager via the following this path: Configuration > Communication > Hardware
> Optocoupler > Function > External Release. The optocoupler’s “Event trigger” settings remain unchanged and can
be adjusted depending on the installation requirements.
Access through the door is automatically activated when the user presses the external push button (no card data is
sent). All configured relays are activated as in a normal access situation. For example, if Relay1 is configured to
"Entrance" in Config Manager and all other relays are configured to “No function”, then only Relay 1 will be activated
when an optocoupler set to “External Release” receives an input. Alternatively, if all the relays are configured to
“Entrance” then all relays are activated when any optocoupler set to “External Release” receives an input.
An additional setting for the external release function allows access information to be sent to the host software. This
setting is activated in Config Manager via: Configuration > Communication > Protocol > Enable Opto CardIdent.
Selecting this option box sends a “Card Ident” and “Action Started” command together with a UID of zero to the host
software when the optocoupler receives a signal. Host software could use this data to show information such as
how many people have gone through the door and at what time. The host software could also be configured to
restrict door access to certain times, e.g., the door relay is only activated after the external push button is pressed
during facility operating hours. Please note that these examples of host software configuration require additional
programming and it is the responsibility of the software developer to test all functional possibilities.
Note: To use the external release function, the GAT Access 6100 requires firmware version 4.5.0 or higher (see
the GANTNER partner web page).
