1.3.13.3 Global Anti-Passback

Global Anti-Passback (GAPB) is anti-passback that is controlled by more than one controller and is only

available on cluster sites. These are sites where slave door controllers are administered by a master door

controller.

Examples of where GAPB can be used:

• A controller cluster connected via a PC interface kit.

• A direct TCP/IP or direct modem controller cluster communicating back to a PAC Portico Prism PC

administrative system.

• A controller cluster connected to, or communicating back to, a CNC RS-232 port.

• A PC administration system using PAC Portico for Windows or PAC Portico Prism software.

Examples of where GAPB cannot be used:

• On CNC six-wire bus sites.

• Across multiple clusters.

• On controllers older than the PAC Portico 2200/1200 series.

• With COS dataswitch clusters.

• With nested GAPB areas (i.e. areas within areas).

Note

Global anti-passback is implemented using passback on entry. Passback on exit is only available

if you are leaving the site.

Up to seven areas per cluster (1 master and up to 7 slave controllers) can be programmed via a PC.

Each area for which global anti-passback is to be in operation must be defined by specifying the entry

readers into the area. For each reader the following must be specified:

• Direction, i.e. in, out or access (not direction specific). This is used to provide information on the

transaction report.

• An “entry area” for the reader, i.e. the area to which the reader allows entry.

• An “exit area” for the reader, i.e. the area to which the reader allows exit.

The door controller uses the entry and exit areas specified for each reader to determine exactly where a

person is. Once a person has entered an area for which global anti-passback has been set, re-entry is

not allowed until that person has either left the area or until the passback timeout has elapsed.

1.3.14 Master Override Input

This feature, when active, “links” the override input of slave controllers to the master controller to which

they are attached. If the override output is triggered on the master controller, the doors on any slave

controllers with the option set are automatically opened.

1.3.15 Event Time Stamping

Accuracy can be selected to be to the nearest second. Default is to the nearest minute.

1.3.16 Compatibility with Previous Models

The PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Door Controllers replaces the 2100/1100 Series and is compatible

with older PAC Portico door controllers.

Note

It is recommended that different types of controllers are not mixed on a cluster.
