Access Control 3.5 - Setting Up Doors With Different Opening Times

This article details the process using ZKAccess 3.x for setting up multiple door locks. One is permanently locked (Authorised FP will open),  the other is open between 0845 to 1700.  Outside of these hours FP would be required.

1. THIS IS PURELY ACCESS CONTROL - NO CLOCKRITE SOFTWARE INVOLVED

2. Log in ZKAccess (Defaults = admin /  admin)

3.Add the device(s).  Set the IP, Device Type should be STANDALONE PULL DEVICE and give the device a name

4.  Towards the end of the Device Setup you will see the box below.  Clock YES, then FINISH

5 The system will then check the connection and you will see this message

6.  Create your employees in the software, or if you have a list you can import from an Excel spreadsheet

You now need to syncronise the employees in the terminal with ZKAccess.  

Simply tick the device and then SYNC ALL DATA TO DEVICE

Then SYNCRONIZE

Close that window when the progress bar reaches 100%

7.  Click on the ACCESS CONTROL option on the top

8. Click on TIME ZONES in the left hand panel.  You will see a profile already created in here called 24-Hour Accessible. 

We now need to create a new profile.  Click the ADD icon.  

Give this profile a name (eg 0845-1700) and click OK.  In remarks you can add additional info.

The period the door is unlocked can now be created for each day.

9.  Go to door settings.  Double click on the door that needs the special opening hours.  In here add the 0845 rule to the DOOR PASSAGE MODE TIME ZONE

You can have all doors with a rule like this or just one.

10.  Click on Access Levels in the left hand panel, then click the ADD icon at the top.  Give this profile a name (eg 24 Hour), Select Access Control Time Zone to 24-Hour Accessible.

10. Next select the Unauthorize Doors and use the right arrow and move them across to the AUTHORIZED DOORS side.  

11. Select the employees who require access to open the door ONLY and use the right arrow and move it across to the AUTHORIZED PERSONNELS then click OK

12 At the bottom of the screen click the SYNC NOW button then close the window that appears when complete
