When Portal is Set to Locked Mode, Credential Reads Are Still Permitting Access
Overview
The customer reports that despite setting their door to "locked" mode, it still opens when an credential is used. The expectation is that the "locked" setting should prevent credential readers from granting access.
Instructions
It appears there might be a misunderstanding or misconfiguration in the Active Lock Schedule Portal Mode setting in the Portal Edit screen. This setting alone might not be sufficient to activate the reader in the expected manner.
When A portal is created BluSKY creates Triggers, Commands, and Procedures, in the background.
Resolution Steps:
- Navigate to Setup-> Portals
- Review Portal Settings: In the Setup Portals section, locate the Active Lock Schedule Portal Mode setting. Note that this setting might not fully activate the reader as intended.
- Navigate to Setup->Commands
- Edit the command with the same name as the portal, but has the string "LockScheduleActivation" in the name.
- Make sure set to Portal Mode to "Locked (no Access, REX active)
- Select Save
- Navigate to Setup->Controller-door-floor Diagnostics
- Select the controller associated with the problematic door.
- Select "Controller Info"
