Reader Options

The Reader Options section is where we configure which of the Reader Expander inputs will be associated with door processing

• Allow Reading Opened/Unlocked: When enabled, sends card information to the controller when a door is unlocked or opened. This option is set by default and should be left set if the door controls an area or if time and attendance events are required.
• Door Sense Enabled: When enabled, sends door events when the door input is opened or closed. Again, this is enabled by default but should be disabled on at least one reader port if both reader ports are controlling the same door (entry and exit access control).
• Bond Sense Input Enabled: Enables the magnetic bond sense functions. The bond sense is a contact that indicates if the magnetic bond between the electromagnet and the clamp is complete. This is used when a separate door contact and bond sense input are installed but the generation of door events should be processed using both inputs.
• REX Enabled: When enabled, the reader expander will generate request to exit events from the REX input on the reader expander.
