An access point in portierX is any place where a key or card is used: a door with its cylinder, a gate, a padlock, a reader. The list is under Access Points and is open to the Organisation Admin, Access Manager and Security Monitor. The Credential Manager has no Access Points page.
Also called: door, cylinder, reader, lock, entry point. The screen says access point for all of them.
At Nordwerk Industries, the Serverraum Tür, labelled C-14, is an access point. It belongs to the Serverraum space in the Labor- und Technikgebäude, and its cylinder is part of the Schließanlage Werk Nord master key system. The keys that turn this cylinder are linked to the door.
Space. An access point belongs to at most one space. You give access to spaces, and the keys and cards follow from their doors. How locations, buildings and spaces relate is in How locations, buildings and spaces fit together.
Locking system. An access point belongs to at most one locking system. That is the screen's word for the installation it is part of: a master key system or an electronic system such as SALTO. An imported or synced access point brings its locking system with it. Which key turns which cylinder is shown in Read your locking plan.
Keys and cards. Every key and card that opens a door is linked to it. The access point's page lists them on the Access Credentials tab, described in An access point's page, and syncing it.
The Access Points list shows each door's Name, Location/Label, Connected Space, Type, Status and Source. The filters All Type, All Locking System, All Status and All manageability narrow it, and the search box finds a door by its name.
The type says what technology is in the door: Mechanical, Electromechanical or Digital. It comes with the import or from the connected system. An access point added by hand is Mechanical. The type shows in the Type column and in the header of the access point's page.
The lock kind describes the lock itself: Profile cylinder, Half cylinder, Padlock or Other. It is chosen when the access point is added or set on the access point's page, both by the Organisation Admin. An imported access point can be given a lock kind too.
The status is the state in which portierX holds the cylinder. The All Status filter offers Installed, Not installed, Online, Available, Low battery, Occupied, Expired, Faulty and Destroyed.
An access point added by hand is Available.
An imported key plan sets each cylinder's installation status: Installed for one fitted in a door, Not installed for one in stock, Destroyed for one destroyed.
A cylinder the key plan lists as planned does not appear under Access Points.
A destroyed cylinder stays in the list, marked Destroyed. It is left out of counts, the locking plan and the suggestions made when access is given.
For doors from dormakaba MATRIX, portierX checks whether it can give access there. The result is called manageability.
Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
Manageable | MATRIX accepts an access right from portierX for this door. |
Locking plan | In MATRIX the door belongs to a locking plan. Its access cannot be changed in portierX until it is taken out of the locking plan in MATRIX. portierX suggests no card for it. |
Unknown | portierX has not checked the door, or the check gave no clear answer. This applies to every door that does not come from MATRIX. |
Unprobeable | The door has no reader through which portierX can check it. |
The Manageability column appears when a door in the list shown reads Locking plan. The All manageability filter is always there.
An access point without a space is left out of every access given through spaces. It stays in the list, and its keys and cards stay linked to it. How to find such doors and give them a space is in Add access points and link them to spaces.
An access point arrives in portierX in one of three ways. The Source column names the way, and the way decides what can be changed and deleted in portierX.
By hand. The Organisation Admin adds it under Access Points with Add, as described in Add access points and link them to spaces.
Import. A key plan from an XML file brings its cylinders in as access points, as described in Import your master key plan from an XML file. A later import changes them.
Sync. A connected system brings in its doors, cylinders or zones: SALTO, dormakaba MATRIX, ASSA ABLOY eCLIQ or Interflex. Every sync reads their data again, as How connections work in portierX describes.
An access point belongs to at most one space and at most one locking system.
You give access to spaces, not to single doors.
Type and status come from the import or the connected system. An access point added by hand is Mechanical and Available.
Only the Organisation Admin sets the lock kind.
Planned cylinders do not appear under Access Points. Destroyed ones stay in the list.
Access to a MATRIX door marked Locking plan is settled in MATRIX first.
The Organisation Admin, Access Manager and Security Monitor see the list.
