2 Access Control Setup

The Access Control Setup is the configuration of user’s unlocks Time Periods and

unlock combine.

The access control setup module include: Time Periods setup, group setup,

unlock combine setup.

Each user’s setup made by the group setup, the use group Time Periods, the user

Time Periods belong to ones, The grouping is that the user is distributed into a group, like as 1

group, 2 group and so on; it is capable to distribute user in the adding new user or modifying user

information procedure . The group Time Periods can support to choose most three time, these

three Time Periods are "or" the relations (it is enough namely to satisfy only one of the three).

Unlocking combination definition is the combination which is defined by different unlocking;

each combination is composed by the different group.

Take a simple to explain the unlocking condition a registration user can:

1: The user’s group must be in the unlocking combination (also to be possible together with other

groups in an unlocking combination, but needs to be able to together unlock door).

2：the current unlocking time locate in any effective time range of the user Time Periods or group

period time, The system default the new user registered belong to the first group, and the

grouping is the first group, and the group Time Periods is "1", until configure access control

setup the new user registered is defaulted in the unlocking status (if user modify the

corresponded setup of the access control , system will change along with user's revision), if

there are no user to belong to the group in the unlock combine, then user can not unlock door

Verification Flow of Access Control：

2.1 Definition Time Periods

The default interface is a definition of the time periods of access control setup; it is available

directly to set Time Periods through the interface.

The time period is the minimum hour unit of access control option. The overall system is

ability to divide into maximum 50 Time Periods. Each time period is defined as seven times

ranges a week, each time range is an effective time periods in the 24 hours of a day. Each user is

ability to set 3 time periods, the relationships among three time periods are "or", it is effective so

long as the verified time can satisfy one of these three time period,. Each time period range format

is: HH:MM-HH:MM, the system defers to 24 hours mode and get accurate minimum unit until the

minute.

The end- time is less than the start- time (23:57- 23:56) to express the entire day to be

Note: this group is invalid when the Time Period 1 is 0, if the time Period 2 is 0, otherwise

the time Period 3 is invalid

2.3 Access Combine

the unlocks combination is the direct performance to control locks, for example, if a user

want that all user registered are not able to unlock, user would set the 10 unlocks

combination all are empty.

The unlock combination definition is to define different ability the unlocking

combination; each combination is composed by the different group. The unlocking

combination directly use group number, does not consider the user verification sequence

between each group. For example "1,2,3"expressed 1 group ， 2 group , 3 group ， at least

one user of the each group together are verified until the lock can be operated; "4" an express

that a alone user of 4 group has been verified then the lock is able to be unlocked

Note：Unlocking combine of the system initial default is “1” (Default new user

registered t can unlock)
