in the Device.
+
and
This method compares the entered
verification of a person with all the
verification templates previously
stored to that Personnel ID in the
Device.
Combined Verification Mode set up procedure:
Combined verification requires personnel to register all the different
verification methods. Otherwise, employees will not be able to successfully
verify the combined verification process.
For example, if an employee has only registered for password data but the
Device verification mode is set to "Password + Card," the employee will not
be able to successfully complete the verification procedure.
Reason:
This is because the Device compares the password template of the person
with the registered verification template (both the Card and the Password)
previously stored to that Personnel ID in the Device.
But, since the employee has only registered their password and not their
card, the verification process will not be successful, and the device will
display "Verification Failed."

Time Rule Settings and Time Schedule 12.2
Tap Time Rule Settings and Time Schedule on the Access Control interface
to configure the time settings.
The entire system can define up to 50 Time Periods.
Each time-period represents 10 Time Zones, i.e., 1 week and 3 holidays,

only verify within the valid time-period.
One can set a maximum of 3 time periods for every time zone. The
relationship among these time-periods is "OR". Thus, when the
verification time falls in any one of these time-periods, the verification is
valid.
The Time Zone format of each time-period is HH MM-HH MM, which is
accurate to minutes according to the 24-hour clock.
Tap the grey box to search the required Time Zone and specify the required

Anti-passback Setup 12.6
A user may be followed by some person(s) to enter the door without
verification, resulting in a security breach. So, to avoid such situations, the
Anti-Passback option was developed. Once it is enabled, the check-in and

consistent pattern.
This function requires two devices to work together:
One device is installed on the indoor side of the door (master device), and the
other one is installed on the outdoor side of the door (the slave device). The
two devices communicate via the Wiegand signal. The Wiegand format and
Output type (User ID/Card Number) adopted by the master device and slave
device must be consistent.
