This page lists every field of an access point, with the types, statuses, lock kinds and sources, as the screen labels them. You meet them in the form that Add opens under Access Points, in the columns of the list and on the Device Info & Settings tab of an access point's page. The Organisation Admin creates, edits and deletes access points. The Access Manager can link a space as well, and the Security Monitor sees them.
Also called: door, gate, cylinder, lock cylinder, reader.
Field | Meaning | Rules |
|---|---|---|
Access Point Name | The access point's name, for example the cylinder number from the key plan. The list and the tab call the field Name. | Required. Up to 50 characters. Only one access point in the organisation carries it. |
