How to Arm and Disarm Intrusion System with Card Swipe

This case describes the process of arming and disarming the IPS groups with the Card Reader specifically designated for Arming and Disarming.

Step 1: Create Reader

Define the reader in BluSKY. Clearly name the reader as Arm and Disarm Reader.

NOTE: This reader does not have to be part of the portal.

Step 2: Create Triggers

Create the following 2 triggers. Go to Setup/Triggers/Create.

1.     Arm Trigger

Step 3: Create Commands

After triggers are defined, proceed on to create commands. You will need to create a total of 4 Commands to support this process.

1.     Arm IPS group – this command Arms IPS group

2.     Portal on Access Control Mode – this command works together with Arm IPS group command and set Portal to Access Control mode and turns the reader light Red.

3.     Disarm IPS group – This command Disarm IPS group

4.     Portal on Unlock Mode - this command works together with the Disarm IPS group command and set Portal to Unlock mode and turns the reader light Green.

NOTE: Since this reader is not part of the Portal, setting the door on to access control mode and unlocking the door are pure virtual functions and used simply to control reader LED to indicate IPS group status. These commands do not have any effect on the door hardware.

 

1.     Arm IPS group Command.
