Alto 818 Installation and Operation
6-16 P/N 66109074001 Rev. D
6.3.6 FORGIVE
The FORGIVE command resets the anti-passback status of all command keys in the system. It
has the same effect on anti-passback status as disruption of power to the ACU. In either case,
the Alto 818 resets the location of each key holder to UNKNOWN. Anti-passback status is then
set to either IN or OUT the next time each key holder uses the command key.
The KEY command (see Section 6.3.10) can be used to reset anti-passback status for individual
key holders.
6.3.7 GROUP
The GROUP command provides the quickest way to add command keys to the database or to
modify the codes of a large number of keys. First, the group parameters are defined. Then all
the keys having all these parameters in common are presented, one at a time, to a proximity
sensors. The Alto 818 reads, prints (or displays), and stores in memory the code for each
command card presented to the specified reader. Model 1030 and 1040 keys must have one
of the facility codes (main or alternate) which have previously been defined with the SYSTEM
command.
The name of command key holders may be entered later using the KEY command. The prompts
for the GROUP command are shown in Figure 6-3.
