Notes
Changing a lock’s online mode
When a B.A.S.I.S. G or B.A.S.I.S. V Lock’s mode of operation
is determined by its programming, the diagnostics informa-
tion for the lock indicates that the lock’s “online mode” is
Automatic. In effect, the lock is under time zone control. For
information about defining time zones for a lock, see the
B.A.S.I.S. System Administration User Guide.
You can use the PDA to select a specific online mode of oper-
ation for a lock and override time zone control. The selected
mode remains in effect until you restore the lock to time zone
control by setting the online mode to Automatic.
For example, during an emergency you might set a lock’s
online mode to Unlocked so that emergency personnel can
access the room. When the emergency is over, you can set
the lock’s online mode to Automatic to restore time zone con-
trol.
The online mode will change only after disconnecting from
the lock.
The following online modes are available:
■ Automatic. The lock is under time zone control.
■ Card. Any valid card in the lock’s database can access the
lock.
■ Card and PIN. Any valid card and PIN combination pro-
grammed in the lock’s database can access the lock.
■ Card or PIN. Any valid card or PIN programmed in the
lock’s database can access the lock.
■ Facility Code. Any card with a valid facility code can
access the lock.
■ Locked. The door is locked. All cards and PINs are denied
access.
■ Unlocked. The door is unlocked.
