iSTAR Areas
This chapter explains how Areas can be used to control and monitor access to physical regions regulated by
C•CURE 9000. Areas are used with Global/Cluster Antipassback— Regular and Timed —and with Area Lockout,
Muster/De-muster, Occupancy Restrictions, and Escorted Visitor Access. They also provide the capability to track
Personnel.

STAR Areas Overview
iSTAR Areas Overview
An Area represents a physical region —such as a room, a specific section of a building, or an entire building. Areas
are used to control and monitor access to the regions they represent. Maximum control of Areas imposes restrictions
on customers that may be impractical, so C•CURE 9000 provides features that allow trade-offs between 'correctness'
and 'convenience'.
C•CURE 9000 currently supports iSTAR Areas only.
NOTE
■ Control is defined as actually preventing access based on location information.
Examples:
A customer might wish to prevent card holders from using their badges and then passing them to friends so
that they can gain entry. To prevent this, the customer can configure Areas with antipassback (APB). In such a
configuration, the card holders are admitted, but when the friends present the cards, they are rejected.
Another customer might want to make sure that a particular Area in the building was accessible to only a
certain number of people at one time. To that end, the customer could configure Areas with a Maximum
Occupancy Restriction. In this type of configuration, when the maximum number of personnel defined for the
Area is reached, no one else can enter—until some personnel leave.
Still another customer with sensitive laboratories might want personnel who entered/exited one particular
Area to be unable to enter another laboratory area for a specified amount of time. The customer can use the
Area lockout feature for this purpose.
■ Monitoring is defined as knowing how many people are in a given area as well as who they are, or which area a
given person is in, without actually controlling access to that area.
While Control and Monitoring represent different functionality, they can also be used together.
Reasons for Using Areas
There are various reasons for using Areas, including security, safety, and resource management.
■ Security - The customer's primary concern is to prevent legitimate card holders from entering Areas in an
incorrect sequence, to prevent non-cardholders from using someone else's card, to prevent more than a specified
number of cardholders from congregating in an area at the same time, or to prevent cardholders from entering a
certain Area after being in another Area.
■ Safety - The customer's primary concern is the safety of employees. Consequently, they want to know where
employees are at all times.
Example:
The customer might create an evacuation location at the facility where, in an emergency, employees have to
present their cards. This location would be monitored, but not controlled.
On the other hand, access within the facility would be controlled with antipassback—not to prevent
cardholders from going wherever they needed, but so the system knows when employees are inside the facility
and therefore in possible danger during an emergency.
■ Resource management - The customer's primary concern is to limit use of a specific facility so that it is
appropriately available.
16 Chapter1 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224657
ISTARAreasOvervlow
Example:
The customer might have a parking lot which they do not want employees to let their Mends use—by parking
their own cars and then handing their cards to friends. In this case, the customer just wants to make sure that
there is enough room for the vehicles of the other employees.
The customer might have a high-security laboratory which operates optimally with four personnel present. In
this case, the customer could configure that Area with Minimum Occupancy (also known as N-man Rule)
specifying the number of personnel who must enter the lab at the same time to gain access, and who also
must remain in the Area.
Strict area control and monitoring impose certain restrictions on the customer.
In general, most doors in a facility have a reader on one side and a request-to-exit (RTE), using a motion detector, on
the other side. Card holders must present their card to enter, but to exit they just walk up to the door and open it.
Antipassback, however, requires both entry and exit readers because the system must see that a cardholder has left
an area before it can let them back in again.
■ Having exit readers means that going out through the door is now slower.
• Personnel might be lining up to go to lunch, where previously they just walked right out.
• Personnel also have to learn to interact with the system in a new way: to pay attention and present their
cards when exiting, even if their Mends hold the door open for them. Otherwise, their next access attempts
are denied, requiring them to find a system administrator to 'grace' them.
■ Installing Exit readers also doubles the cost of readers in a new facility and could incur building costs in a retro-
fit situation.
■ Finally, in systems large enough to spread areas across more than one controller, access decisions may require
these controllers to exchange messages over the network. Then if the network is slow or unavailable, 'correct'
decisions may be impossible to make in a timely fashion. (The controller can guess, but sometimes it will be
wrong.)
The preceding issues mean that customers may wish to make trade-offs between correctness and convenience. The
following features allow them to do so:
■ Timed antipassback
■ Non-antipassback areas
■ "Local access" failure mode
■ Monitoring of card holder location
■ Occupancy that counts Personnel numbers without restricting access

Setting Up Areas
Setting Up Areas
Areas are defined by a set of Doors, Readers, and the Adjacent Areas to which these lead. Doors between Areas
require at least one Reader. In some configurations, such as for Antipassback control of the location of Personnel, an
entrance Reader and an exit Reader are required. C•CURE 9000 uses Areas to regulate Antipassback control and
Occupancy Restrictions.
When high security and reliable tracking of Personnel is required, Areas can be configured to require people to use
their badges to both enter and exit an Area. This provides a record of when a person leaves an Area, allowing the
system to track the location of a person at any time. C•CURE 9000 uses this information to produce Roll Call
Reports, Mustering/De-mustering control and reports, and Antipassback notifications.
Figure 1 on Page 18 presents a simple example of two Areas with Doors and Readers controlling entry and exit.

You can select from two types of implementation of antipassback on the C•CURE 9000:
• iSTAR Cluster Antipassback - Allows each iSTAR Cluster to have its own set of Areas and antipassback does
not function across Clusters. Antipassback for iSTAR Ouster Areas means that all Doors, Readers, and adjacent
Areas are within the same iSTAR Ouster. The host does not participate in Area access decisions so these
continue to function even if host communication is lost.
When there is a communications failure within the Ouster-between the master Controller and one or more
member Controllers, decisions are made according to the failure mode you configure for the Ouster. For more
detailed information, see:
• How the Ouster Antipassback Decision is Made on Page 32
• How Ouster Antipassback Works During Communications Failure on Page 32.
• iSTAR Global Antipassback (Cross-Cluster) - Allows an Area to cross multiple iSTAR clusters to share
antipassback information. The Ouster master Controller makes the Antipassback decision when it owns the card
being swiped. Otherwise, that master Controller asks the C•CURE 9000 Server to ask the Ouster master
Controller that is the card's owner for an antipassback decision. For more detailed information, see:
• How Global Antipassback Decisions are Made on Page 32
• How Global Antipassback Works During Communications Failure on Page 33.
You can configure Areas to control and/or monitor access in the following ways or in combinations thereof:
• With no limitation - a person with appropriate clearances can freely enter and exit from an Area.
18 Chapter1 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224659
Setting Up Areas
■ Using Antipassback where access is restricted as follows:
• Regular antipassback - Personnel cannot exit an Area they are not in, nor reenter an Area without exiting it
first.
• Timed antipassback - Personnel cannot reenter an Area until a specified amount of time has passed.
• Area Lockout - Personnel can only access a current target location based on their last entrance/exit time from
a Lockout Area.
• Carpool antipassback
- Carpool regular antipassback - Personnel in a carpool group cannot exit an Area they are not in, nor re-
enter an Area without exiting it first.
- Carpool timed antipassback - Personnel in a carpool group cannot re-enter an Area until a specified
amount of time has passed.
Carpool Areas and Carpool Antipassback can only be configured for iSTAR Cluster Areas.
NOTE They are not configurable for Cross-Cluster Areas and Global Antipassback.
■ Using Maximum or Minimum Occupancy where access is restricted as follows:
• Personnel cannot access an Area:
- If the number of personnel already in the Area exceeds the maximum number defined.
- If they are not accompanied by the minimum number of personnel required to be in the Area at the same
time.
• Personnel can access an Area regardless of the Maximum and Minimum Occupancy configured, but their
number is counted.
■ Using Passthrough, where Personnel must exit an area within a specified amount of time, failing which an
Event can activate—if configured to do so. You can configure Passthrough violations independent of
antipassback.
■ Using Escorted Access, where cardholders designated as Escorted Visitors must be accompanied by cardholders
designated as Escorts.
■ Using Muster/De-muster, where Personnel gather in a designated Mustering Area in case of emergency. Once
the emergency has passed, you can manually de-muster these personnel to a configured de-muster Area. (If a de-
muster Area has not been designated, at de-muster time any Personnel in the Mustering Area will be graced and
can go to any Area in the facility.
You can monitor access and track a person's location in the following ways:
■ By running
• Roll call reports, which indicate the current location, by Area, for all Personnel at the time the report is
generated.
• Carpool Area Roll call reports, which indicate the current location, by Carpool Area, for all Personnel at the
time the report is generated. The report indicates each person's Carpool Group and whether he/she is the
driver.
For information, see Running Area Pre-defined Reports on Page 123.
■ By displaying their current Area on the Administration application Personnel Dynamic View (based on the last
Area the person entered on a valid admit). For information, see Viewing Area Location of Personnel on Page 119.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter! 19
EFTA01224660
Setting Up Areas
■ By displaying for any selected Area the Personnel in that Area from both the Administration application Area
Dynamic View and the Monitoring Station Area Status List. For information, see Viewing Personnel in an Area
on Page 60 and the C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide.

Antipassback
Antipassback
Antipassback (sometimes known as APB) prevents a person from passing back a card to another person to use, and
detects when someone tailgates (follows another person with a valid card admit through a door without using their
own card).
Cluster Antipassback/Global Antipassback
■ In Cluster Antipassback, the antipassback decisions are enforced within one cluster. The cluster members always
ask the master for passback information. If the members of this cluster lose communications with the master,
they enforce antipassback according to the Communication Failure Mode configured for the cluster —whether No
Access or Local.
■ Global (Cross-Cluster) Antipassback—sometimes referred to as "Host-assisted Antipassback'—works on top of
Cluster Antipassback. It allows antipassback information to be shared between multiple iSTAR clusters to
enforce the antipassback decisions.
Appropriate passback requests are forwarded to the Host. The Host retrieves the information from the
appropriate owner and then passes it back to the Master to pass back to the member who made the original
request. The Master of the cluster to which this member belongs now takes up the ownership of the Personnel
card. If the members of this cluster are not in communication, the System Variable user-defined failure mode
(iSTAR Driver/iSTAR Global Antipassback Communication Failure Mode) will be enforced. For detailed
information, see Table 25 on Page 116 in Setting System Variables That Affect Areas.
Antipassback Types
Antipassback can be either for Personnel or Carpools, and you can configure the following types:
■ No Antipassback on Page 21
■ Regular Antipassback on Page 22
■ Timed Antipassback on Page 22
■ Area Lockout on Page 22
No Antipassback
You can configure an Area without antipassback and use it to:
■ Designate boundaries.
■ Interface with Areas of the antipassback system.
■ Monitor access.
■ Create Roll Call Reports
Example:
The front Door of a building typically leads from a non-antipassback Area to a controlled antipassback Area. The
non-antipassback Area can be either a physical space or a 'conceptual' area, such as 'outside'.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter! 21
EFTA01224662
Antipassback
Regular Antipassback
You can use a regular antipassback Area when you need to control the movements of personnel based on their
location. Configuring regular antipassback prevents a person from exiting an Area that, according to the system,
he/she is not in or from entering an Area that, according to the system, he/she is already in.
■ A passback violation occurs when a person enters an Area and then passes the card to another person who uses
it to enter the same Area.
■ A tailgate violation occurs when a person tries to leave an Area that, according to the Controller making the
decision, he/she is not in. This can occur if the person entered the Area by "tailgating" and then uses his/her
card to exit the Area.
You can only enforce antipassback if you have both entry and exit Readers in an Area.
Timed Antipassback
You can use timed antipassback when you are not tracking all exits from an Area.
■ A timed antipassback violation occurs when a person (identified by their card) tries to access the same Area
more than once during a specified period of time.
Examples:
■ If a person enters an Area, exits the Area, and then presents his/her card to enter that same Area again —all
within the timed antipassback period, a timed antipassback violation occurs.
■ Alternatively, if a person enters an Area and then passes his/her card to some one else to use to enter the same
Area during the timed antipassback period, a timed antipassback violation occurs. (In this case, the system
thinks the same cardholder is trying to access the Area more than once during the specified time period.)
Enforcing timed antipassback does not require exit Readers in an Area, only entry Readers.
Area Lockout
Area Lockout allows you to configure an iSTAR Area in which the presence of Personnel, monitored by the Area's
entry and exit Readers, locks the cardholders out of a designated target Area or Group of iSTAR Areas for a specified
period of time. A facility with multiple laboratories or highly sensitive manufacturing areas might require this
functionality to prevent cross-contamination and a resultant loss of productivity and/or human injury or life.
The iSTAR Area(s) from which the Personnel are locked out can actually be or include the Area being entered. The
target locked-out iSTAR Area can be any of the following
■ Same iSTAR Area
■ Another iSTAR Area
■ iSTAR Area group
A cardholder can be locked out of one and the same target Area due to accessing multiple different Lockout Areas.
This can occur because an Area may be in more than one iSTAR Area group specified as a target for lockout. In
addition, an iSTAR Area group may be used as a target Area by multiple Lockout Areas. Personnel are locked out of
such a common target area for the longest lockout time configured on any of the Lockout Areas, as illustrated in the
example shown in Figure 2 on Page 23.

Lab 1 Lab 2
Example:
■ In the example in Figure 2 on Page 23, Lockout Area Lab 1 locks cardholders out of target Area Group 1 (which
contains Lab al and Lab a2) for 8 hours. Lockout Area Lab 2 locks cardholders out of target Area Group 2
(which contains Lab bl and Lab a2 as well) for 24 hours. Note that Lab a2 is a Locked-out target Area common
to both Lockout Areas, Lab 1 and Lab 2.
If the cardholder is not currently locked out of any Areas, the following could occur:
a. The cardholder's entry/exit access in Lab 1 locks him/her out of Lab al and Lab a2 for 8 hours.
b. One hour later, the cardholder's entry/exit access in Lab 2 locks him/her out of Lab bl and Lab a2 for 24
hours. The cardholder is now locked out of the common target Area Lab a2 for 24 hours, the longest lockout
time, rather than the 7 hours remaining from the first access in Lab 1.
c. Two hours later the cardholder re-enters Lab 1. The cardholder is now locked out of Lab al for 8 more hours
from this access, but remains locked out of the common target Area Lab a2 for the 22 hours remaining from
the Lab 2 access in Step b.
d. If during the lockout times enumerated in Step c —from Lab al for 8 hours and from Lab a2 for 22 hours —the
cardholder is lockout graced, all lockout timers for this person are cleared. The cardholder can now enter any
of the labs without waiting for the remaining lockout time to expire.
e. Other cardholders may enter Lab al, Lab a2, or Lab bl without triggering lockout restrictions.
The lockout timer starts when Personnel present a card at the entrance or exit Readers of the Lockout Area. If the
iSTAR Area doing the locking out and the target Area being locked out are the same, the condition is similar, though
not identical, to timed Antipassback where a person cannot present his/her card to enter the same Area through
which the most recent access occurred.

EFTA01224664
Antipassback
An Area Lockout violation can activate an Event, and any Area associated with Area Lockout functionality can be
configured with such an Event.
Personnel may exit and reenter the Lockout Area during the Lockout period as often as they wish (unless it is one of
the locked-out target Areas), but every entrance/exit resets the Lockout timer and extends the Lockout time to the full
configured period. Personnel can, however, access other non-lockout Areas without affecting the Area Lockout time
period. Regular Antipassback can also be used with Lockout Areas, but is not required for Area Lockout
functionality.
If Personnel activate a lockout, they cannot enter the locked-out target Area until the Lockout period has passed. If
configured via the controller's RM LCD messages, the reader will display a reject "lockout" message with the time
remaining in the Lockout period. If Personnel do not enter the locked-out target Area until the Lockout period has
passed, they can then access this target Area without being rejected.
An Area Lockout Grace is available for gracing individual Personnel separately from the regular
NOTE
Personnel Antipassback Grace Personnel. However Grace All and Grace All Partitions, grace all
Personnel for both regular Personnel Antipassback and Area Lockout.
Configuring Antipassback
To configure antipassback, you must configure at least two Areas.
■ For Cluster Antipassback, the Areas must be controlled by Readers in the same iSTAR Cluster.
■ For Global Antipassback, the Areas can be controlled by Readers on different iSTAR Clusters.
You can use the Area Antipassback tab to set up Regular and Timed Antipassback.
■ Configuring Regular Antipassback for iSTAR Areas on Page 76
■ Configuring Timed Antipassback for iSTAR Areas on Page 76
■ Configuring Lockout for iSTAR Areas on Page 77
Antipassback Events
You can configure triggers to activate Events for antipassback entry/exit violations for an Area for those Personnel
with the Activate Antipassback Event option selected on the General tab of the Personnel Editor.
■ Entry events are pulsed on any violation that occurs on a Reader that leads into the Area.
■ Exit events are pulsed on any violation on a Reader that leads out of the Area.
The specific cause of the violation does not affect which event is pulsed. For information, see:
■ iSTAR Area Triggers Tab on Page 94
■ Configuring Personnel Antipassback Options on Page 111.
For detailed information on configuring Events, see the Events chapter in the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration
Guide.
Antipassback Exempt Personnel
If you select the Antipassback Exempt option while configuring a Personnel record, the system allows the person to
access Areas without being tested for antipassback.

CarpooiAntipassback
Carpool Antipassback
Carpool Antipassback provides the capability to designate an Area as a Carpool Area and to organize Personnel into
Carpool Groups that use these Areas.
A Carpool Area always enforces antipassback rules, and a Carpool Group always moves into/out of a Carpool Area
as a unit. Whenever an entrance to a Carpool Area is accessed by a member of a Carpool Group, all members of the
Group are considered to have passed through that entrance. The person who presented the card to enter the Carpool
Area is designated as the Group driver.
The system maintains a Carpool Location (Carpool Area) for each Carpool Group in order to report the location for
the Group members. When the Carpool Group member swipes at a Carpool entrance or exit, the group's location is
moved.
The Carpool Group member designated as the driver must have Clearance at the Entrance
NOTE
Reader for the group to be given access to the Carpool Area..
Cards and Carpool Groups
Carpool Antipassback allows a Group of Personnel to be moved by a single Card swipe. Antipassback can be
enforced on the Group when any Group member's Card is read. This Group of Personnel is known as a 'Carpool
Group'.
If you apply Carpool Antipassback to multiple Areas in the same iSTAR cluster, all the Areas together behave as one
Carpool system. That is, if a Carpool Group enters one Carpool Area on a cluster, antipassback is enforced for this
group on all other Carpool Areas on this cluster.
A Carpool Group can have an unlimited number of Personnel in it, but each person can be in only one Carpool
Group.
When a person who is in a carpool group accesses a Carpool Area, the iSTAR will admit or reject based on the
Carpool Group's location and whether or not Carpool Grace has been applied. If the Carpool Group is admitted and
the entrance opens, the Carpool Group location for all Personnel in the Carpool Group is changed.
Carpool Regular Antipassback
Carpool regular antipassback works similarly to Personnel regular antipassback, except that is applies to a group of
Personnel. It requires the following
■ Carpool Area: an Area that admits all Personnel in a Carpool Group with one card read.
■ Carpool Group: a Group of Personnel configured to be admitted into a specified Carpool Area by presenting the
card of any member of the Group.
A Carpool antipassback violation occurs when actions occur in the following sequence:
1. A card from the Carpool Group is presented at the entrance Reader.
2. Access is granted.
3. The Carpool location for all Group members is changed to the Area accessed.
4. A card from the same Carpool Group (the same or another card) is presented at the entrance Reader, without an
exit read.
26 Chapter1 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224667
CarpoolAntipassback
A tailgate Carpool Croup violation can occur when:
• A card from the Carpool Group is presented at the entrance Reader.
• Access is granted.
• Another Carpool Group or member of another Carpool Group also enters the Area without presenting their card.
• Anyone from the second group tries to exit the Area. (They are denied egress.)
Carpool antipassback and regular antipassback are separate features and cannot be
NOTE
configured in the same Area or in Areas adjacent to each other (where the exit Reader
from one area is the entrance Reader into another). If the Areas are adjacent, you can have
both Areas exit into a 'virtual' common non-antipassback Area.
Carpool Timed Antipassback
A Carpool timed antipassback violation occurs when a Carpool Group member presents a card at any entrance
Reader to the same Carpool Area already accessed by that Group within a previously configured time period.
Both Carpool antipassback and Carpool timed antipassback work only with iSTARs.
NOTE
Carpool Antipassback Limitations
If you configure Carpool antipassback in multiple areas on the same Cluster, the system considers the Carpool Areas
as one Carpool system. You cannot enter Carpool Area A if the system thinks you are in Carpool Area B—both on
the same Ouster, as long as the two Areas are not adjacent.
A Carpool Area may be adjacent to another Carpool Area or a non-Carpool Area. However, the following rules
apply:
• A Carpool Area cannot be configured for:
• Area Lockout.
• Area Muster.
• An Area adjacent to a Carpool Area cannot be a:
• Muster Area.
• Cross-Cluster Area.
• A non-Carpool Area adjacent to a Carpool Area cannot enforce any form of Antipassback.
Carpool Antipassback Exemptions
Antipassback checking is exempt under the following condition:
• Any Person not in a Carpool Group can access a Carpool Antipassback Area if he/she has a valid clearance for
this Area. The access does not display as a Group access.
However, a Person who is in a Carpool Group is subject to Carpool Antipassback rules even if their Personnel record
has the Antipassback Exempt option selected.

Antipassback Grace
Antipassback Grace
When you grace Personnel, it resets their cards' Antipassback/timed antipassback information. Consequently, the
first time Personnel use their cards after a grace action, the system does not check for Antipassback violations. Once
they present their cards and open the door/entrance, the system logs them into the Area. After this move, for all
subsequent use of their cards, the system returns to checking for Antipassback violations.
Grace also resets the iSTAR Global Antipassback owners of Personnel cards when the iSTAR owners are not
communicating. The first time Personnel use their cards after a reset action, the controllers at which the cards are
presented become the owners.
You can grace card(s) from both the Administration application and the Monitoring Station.
■ 'Grace Personnel' clears the antipassback and timed antipassback information for single Personnel.
■ 'Person Area Lockout' grace clears all Area lockout timers for single Personnel, allowing entry to all target Areas
that he/she is locked out of.
■ 'Person Antipassback Reset Card' resets the iSTAR Global Antipassback owner of a single Personnel card; this
also graces antipassback and area lockout.
■ 'Carpool Grace' clears the antipassback and timed antipassback information for all Personnel in that Carpool
Group.
You can apply the preceding types of 'person grace' as follows:
■ On the Administration application in several places:
• Personnel Dynamic View - for one or more selected persons.
• Carpool Group Dynamic View - for all persons in the Group.
■ On the Monitoring Station in several places:
• Swipe & Show tab - for a single card. (If the card belongs to a person in a Carpool Group, 'Carpool Grace'
applies to all Group members.)
• On the Personnel in Area list - for one or more selected persons.
(For instructions on granting grace, see Gracing Personnel on Page 127.)
Grace All Partitions/Grace All
'Grace All' clears the Antipassback/Area Lockout information for all cards in one or more selected Partition(s), as
well as resetting the iSTAR Global Antipassback owners of their cards. Grace MI also applies a one-time Carpool
Grace that applies to the next access for that Carpool Group. (This is not the 'timed' Carpool Grace.)
In an unpartitioned system, when all Objects are only in one Partition —the 'Default'
NOTE Partition, Grace MI does this for all cards in the system.
Grace All functions as follows:
■ On the Administration application:
• From the Partition Dynamic View - for one or more selected Partitions.
• By configuring an Event with a Grace All Action.
■ On the Monitoring Station Swipe & Show Grace Partition tab:

• Grace MI
— If the system is not partitioned, gracing the Default Partition graces all cards in the database.
— If the system is partitioned, you can select one or more Partition(s) for which you want to grace all cards.
Carpool Grace
You can grace all Personnel within a Carpool Group for antipassback for a specified time period with set start/end
times. For the duration of the configured time, the Carpool Group members can move in and out of Carpool Areas
without restriction. During this grace period, the Group's location remains unchanged.
Example:
A system administrator or guard could configure the grace period for the Carpool Group the day before. Then
anyone in the Group could drive his/her own car and park freely in the parking Areas..
The first time a Carpool Group member uses his/her card after the specified time period, the system does not check
for Carpool antipassback. Once grace is granted, the Carpool Group must move through the entrance (present a card,
open the entrance, and move through). After this move—for the next access, their correct location information is
recorded, and antipassback is enforced as usual.
■ A roll call report run during the grace period may display multiple drivers, since any card swipe will be
accepted, and the person swiping the card will be marked as a carpool driver. If a second driver has parked the
car in a different location, two locations will show up for this Carpool Group. After the grace time is over, the
system reverts to one driver and one location.
■ A Carpool Group cannot be de-mustered.

Antipassback Decision Making
Antipassback Decision Making
How decision making works for Antipassback, both under normal conditions and during communications failure,
depends on the type of Antipassback that you are using:
■ Cluster - see Cluster Antipassback Decision Making on Page 32
■ Global - see Global Antipassback Decision Making on Page 32
Cluster Antipassback Decision Making
How the Cluster Antipassback Decision is Made
In iSTAR Clusters, antipassback information is stored on the Cluster master. When an iSTAR member Controller is
online and a card is presented at its reader:
■ The member sends a request to the master for antipassback information.
■ The master replies with the appropriate antipassback information (admit or deny).
■ The member reports back to the Master whether or not the door was used.
As long as the communication within the Cluster is good, the Cluster members do not store any antipassback
information.
How Cluster Antipassback Works During Communications Failure
When the Cluster members lose communication with the Cluster master, the members begin to enforce antipassback
locally according to the Communication Failure Mode configured for the Cluster. If the failure mode is:
■ No Access - Access is denied by any member Controller in the Cluster in communications failure, while member
Controllers still in communications with the Master continue to make normal antipassback decisions for entry to
the Area.
■ Local - The Controllers use locally available information to grant or deny access. This information may be
insufficient for the Controller to make a completely correct decision. In this case, the Controller still admits the
person presenting the card.
Restoring Communication for Cluster Antipassback
When communications from member to master is restored, the member waits 16 sec*[size of cluster +1] before
uploading Personnel locations to the master. The master then compares the time recorded in the member with the
time recorded on the master, retaining the person's latest recorded location. Once this upload is complete, the
member deletes the locally stored antipassback data and resumes requesting this information from the master per the
normal operation.
Global Antipassback Decision Making
How Global Antipassback Decisions are Made
iSTAR Global (cross-cluster) Antipassback allows clusters to share antipassback information. In this situation, a
cluster master is designated as the owner of a card. The C•CURE 9000 Host maintains a table of all cards and their
32 Chapter1 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224673
Atalpassback Decision Mating
owner cluster masters and knows which cluster master owns any given card at any given time. When a card is
presented at a member:
■ If the cluster master of this member is the owner, the antipassback decision is similar to cluster antipassback.
■ If the cluster master of this member is not the owner, the Host is requested for antipassback information.
■ If there is no owner, the Host designates the requestor as the owner.
■ If there is an owner, the Host forwards the request to the owner.
• If the owner grants access, this reply is sent to the member that requested the information (requestor).
• The ownership is transferred to the master of the requestoes cluster.
• If the owner denies access, the message is sent to the requestor and the original owner retains ownership of
this card.
How Global Antipassback Works During Communications Failure
When the Host loses connection with an owner cluster master, or a member loses communication with the master,
the System Variable user-defined Failure Mode is invoked and antipassback is enforced locally on the cluster in
which the card is presented. There are two Failure Modes:
No Access - where non-owners do not admit the card if they cannot communicate with the owner.
Local - where the iSTARs decide on antipassback based on information available to the cluster locally. If sufficient
information is not available, the card is admitted. Relevant local information can include the following:
■ Card's movement history
■ Layout of doors and areas
■ iSTARs that are in communications failure
If you configure the No Access failure mode, and a card is denied access because its owner is in communications
failure, you can allow access to the part of the system in communication with the Host by resetting the cards
antipassback data. The Antipassback Reset Card action, accessible from both the Administration application and
the Monitoring Station, allows you to force the clusters that continue to communicate with the host to grace the card.
After you reset the antipassback, the iSTAR at which the card is next presented becomes the owner of the card.
For the length of the communications failure, this card will have two owners: the old owner who is still in
communications failure and the new owner.
You can use the preceding commands even if the owner is communicating with the Host. In this
NOTE
situation, the owner loses ownership and the card is graced/area lockout graced. The iSTAR at which
the card is next presented assumes ownership. (When both owners and non-owners are
communicating, a card cannot have two owners.)
Restoring Communication for Global Antipassback
If communication is restored only between the cluster master and the member, then antipassback will only work
locally within that cluster. If the communication is restored between the master and the Host, then the antipassback
data is synchronized across clusters. If the antipassback of the card was reset during communications failure, the
system designates the iSTAR with the most recent antipassback information as the owner.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter! 33
EFTA01224674
Antipassback Decision Making
Occupancy and Muster/De-muster information is not shared between clusters. Therefore, you cannot
NOTE
have cross-cluster (global antipassback) Areas with Occupancy restrictions or De-mustering.
However, since you can mix both global APB Areas and cluster Areas at your site, you can have
occupancy and/or Muster/De-muster in the cluster Areas with adjacent global APB Areas for the
boundaries.
Global Antipassback Configuration Guidelines
This section describes guidelines and limitations for iSTAR configurations that enforce global antipassback.
Performance
Antipassback performance and reliability are impacted by the following:
■ Size of the cluster.
■ Number of access requests per minute.
■ C•CURE 9000 card processing time.
■ Network latencies - slower networks result in slower access time.
• Performance within the cluster depends on network performance between master and members.
• Performance across clusters depends on network performance between the C•CURE 9000 Host and iSTAR
masters.
■ Faulty/excessively slow networks can cause communications failures that deny access and activate
antipassback failure mode.
■ Speed of the C•CURE 9000 Host—impacts configurations requiring a significant amount of access between
clusters.
Data Storage
Global antipassback increases the size of the card antipassback record and reduces the amount of space available for
card storage. Systems with very large databases might require additional SIMM storage.
Configuration Examples
The following section provides examples of good and poor practices for configuring iSTAR global antipassback.
General Considerations
Global antipassback configurations that optimize performance are designed to:
■ Maximize processing by the iSTAR master.
Performance is most efficient when the iSTAR master processes access for personnel within the cluster they
access most frequently.
■ Minimize access requiring Host intervention.
■ Eliminate access across slow/unreliable networks.

High Performance Configuration
Figure 3 on Page 35 shows a configuration that successfully uses global antipassback to enforce area lockout.
Figure 3: A Recommended Configuration
VPH
Camp.' Eng ComposAbla Rurnom AtartatIng
Dedtionire
The configuration in Figure 3 on Page 35 optimizes iSTAR performance as follows:
■ By using two iSTAR masters:
• One to control doors in the Corporate facility.
• Another to control doors in Research.
Each master processes requests for the doors and cardholders that access it most often.
■ By using a fast, dedicated link to facilitate access between clusters.
■ By not including doors that reside across a remote (less reliable) link in the global antipassback configuration.
Poor Performance Configuration
The configuration shown in Figure 4 on Page 36 is not recommended. This configuration:
■ Minimizes iSTAR efficiency by using a single iSTAR to process doors between two sites.
■ Maximizes network inefficiency by using an unreliable network to connect a second global antipassback cluster.
If you use this configuration, you can experience long access delays or denial caused by slow processing and
unreliable networks.

Occupancy Resusacns
Occupancy Restrictions
You can limit access to an Area based on the maximum and minimum number of personnel present at one time.
You can also specify the number of personnel from a group allowed in an Area. (Occupancy rules can also be
applied to Carpool Areas. For information, see Carpool Antipassback and Occupancy on Page 38.)
This feature is supported only for iSTAR Areas, and therefore for iSTAR controllers. The doors of an Occupancy-
restricted Area can be on multiple iSTARs as long as all are in the same cluster.
The Occupancy restriction is not supported across iSTAR Clusters.
NOTE
Maximum occupancy specifies the maximum number of personnel, or personnel from a group, who can access an
Area at one time. If at any time the number of personnel in an Area reaches the maximum number and access is
restricted, all further access is denied —until personnel leave the area. You can also configure an Event to trigger
when an Area reaches its maximum occupancy. A common use of this feature is in parking lots where only a given
number of personnel, or personnel from a group, can park in an Area.
In addition, you can configure maximum occupancy to only count the number of personnel entering and leaving an
Area without restricting access.
Minimum occupancy(or N-man Rule) specifies that a minimum number of personnel must enter the Area at the
same time to gain access and must also remain in the specified Area. You can also configure an Event to trigger
when an Area reaches its minimum occupancy.
In addition, you can configure minimum occupancy to only count the number of personnel entering and leaving an
Area without restricting access.
■ Counting for Areas configured for occupancy is performed by the iSTAR Controllers. For Areas
NOTE without occupancy it is performed by the host. Consequently, to keep the Area count correct if you
are going to change an existing occupancy Area to a non-occupancy Area —or vice versa, you
should ideally do it when the system is not busy and the Area is empty. Alternatively, if there are
Personnel in the Area, you can use the Set Property option on the right-click context menu on the
Areas Dynamic View to reset the count for the Area.
■ A Cluster member Controller that is offline from the Master and host may not enforce occupancy
restrictions properly. It may enforce some, but not all, of the restrictions, or it may work as
configured.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter 1 37
EFTA01224678
CarpoolAntipassbad<and Occupancy
Carpool Antipassback and Occupancy
Area occupancy restrictions are applied to Carpool Areas in the same manner as for ordinary Person Areas with one
difference. The occupancy counts in Carpool Areas are based on the number of Carpool Groups, not the number of
individual Personnel. Consequently you can use Occupancy restrictions to limit the maximum number of vehicles in
a Carpool Area, as described in the Example below.
Generally, you would not configure minimum occupancy restrictions for a Carpool Area.
NOTE
Example: Using Occupancy Restrictions with Carpool Antipassback
1. Company A and Company B share a parking lot controlled by an iSTAR Cluster with Readers on automobile
access gates. Each company is limited to using 100 parking spots. The lot is defined as a Carpool Area, and each
company enforces Carpool Antipassback.
• MI of Company A's Personnel are placed in an 'ordinary' Personnel Group, Group A, and also assigned to
Carpool Groups.
• MI of Company B's Personnel are placed in another 'ordinary' Personnel Group, Group B, and also assigned
to Carpool Groups.
2. The maximum occupancy allowed in the lot for each company's groups —Group A and Group B— is configured
in the Occupancy Restrictions for Personnel Groups table on the Occupancy tab. In this case, the maximum
represents the number of cars allowed. When a driver of a car in Group A or Group B scans a card and enters
the lot, one vehicle is counted against the maximum number of spots available for Company A or Company B.
In addition, Carpool Antipassback is also being enforced (as described in Carpool Antipassback on Page 26).
Consequently, when the driver of one of Company A's/Company B's Carpool Groups scans his/her card to get
into the parking lot, the count in the Carpool Area increases by one.
3. In this way, the maximum number of vehicles in the parking lot can be limited for each company and Carpool
Antipassback also enforced.

Pass-through Areas
Pass-through Areas
Area Pass-through allows you to configure an Area that require a person to exit from it within a specified time
interval after entering. A cardholder who enters a Pass-through Area and does not exit in the specified time causes a
pass-through violation.
The Area Pass-through time can be configured:
■ So the interval applies to any cardholder entering the Area. This is known as the Area-wide Pass-through time or
interval.
■ So the members of a Personnel Group:
• Have to use the Area-wide interval.
• Are exempt from any pass-through restriction configured on an Area.
• Are subject to a custom interval different from the Area-wide interval.
When a Personnel Group is configured with a pass-through restriction, the configured interval always applies to
all Group members.
You configure Area Pass-through on the iSTAR Areas Occupancy tab. See iSTAR Area Occupancy Tab on Page 78

Escorted Access
Escorted Access
Escorted Access gives C•CURE 9000 the ability to control, track, and report on the movements of Personnel
designated as Escorted Visitors. An Escorted Visitor is a visitor who can only move around a facility in tandem with
an employee designated as an Escort.
A person designated simply as a Visitor can move freely around a facility unescorted.
NOTE
Escorted access allows you to do the following:
■ Designate a cardholder as the following
• An Escorted Visitor, who by default must be accompanied by an Escort to be granted access when presenting
a card at a reader.
• An Escort, a person who can grant access to any Escorted Visitor—as long as other access control rules, such
as clearance restrictions, are met.
■ Configure an Area:
• To require an Escorted Visitor to be accompanied by an Escort to enter. (By default, all areas require an
Escorted Visitor to have an Escort.)
• To optionally not require an Escort to accompany an entering Escorted Visitor.
• To optionally require that an Escort must always be present with an Escorted Visitor inside that Area.
Escorted Visitors can only exit an Area without an Escort if the Area they are passing into is configured to not
require an Escort for Escorted Visitors. If all Areas in a building are configured to require Escorted Access,
Visitors will always require an Escort to move around within the facility.
■ To allow an operator to view the count of Escorted Visitors and Escorts in any Area, and to modify the counts if
necessary.
If the Doors that lead to an Area are unlocked for any reason, double swipe, for example, then Escorted Visitors are
free to enter and leave the Area without an Escort.
If an Area is subject to Occupancy Restrictions, the total number of people entering the area must respect the
specified restrictions. If during the Escorted Visitor-Escort sequence the total number of cards presented exceeds the
maximum occupancy limit, all Escorted Visitors as well as the Escort are rejected. If an Area has a minimum
occupancy restriction greater than one, the number of Escorted Visitors plus the Escort entering an empty Area must
be equal to or greater than the minimum requirement; if not, entry is rejected.
There are two modes of Escorted Access: Companion mode and Remote Escort mode.
■ In Companion mode, multiple Escorted Visitors can be accompanied by one escort, and they all start on the
same side of a door. The Escorted Visitors present their cards first, one after another. After all the Escorted
Visitors have swiped, the Escort presents his/her card to let the queued up Escorted Visitors through the door.
(Companion mode is in effect if the "Readers are continuously active" flag is selected in the iSTAR Door
Configuration dialog box.)
If someone who is neither an Escorted Visitor nor an Escort presents a card before the Escort swipes his or hers,
the presented card and all waiting Escorted Visitor and Escort cards are rejected. The Escorted Visitors must now
restart the presentation of their cards. However, it is possible, once the Escorted Visitor sequence has started at
one side of the door, for an RTE to be made on the other side. In this case, the door can be opened from the RTE
40 Chapter1 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224681
Escorted Access
side, and it is the Escort's responsibility to keep the Escorted Visitors from aborting their sequence. The Escorted
Visitor/Escort sequence continues once the door has closed.
■ In Remote Escort mode (also called Turnstile mode), the Escorted Visitors and Escort present themselves on
opposite sides of the door. An Escorted Visitor presents his/her card first on one side of the door and an Escort
then presents his/her card on the other side of the door. Any subsequent Escorted Visitors must do the same—
one Escorted Visitor swipe, one Escort swipe. (This mode is in effect if the "Readers are continuously active" flag
is not selected in the iSTAR Door Configuration dialog box.)
The time between swipes cannot be greater than that defined in the 'Next Card Time' System Variable.
NOTE
The maximum number of Escorted Visitors that may travel through a door during one access is
defined in System Variable Maximum Visitor Count.
If an Area is subject to Antipassback restrictions:
■ In Companion mode, Escorted Visitors and Escorts granted access are logged into the Area in the same manner
as for regular access.
■ In Remote Escort mode, the Escorted Visitors' location will be updated, but the Escort's location will not change.
Six pre-defined Reports can be generated to show the access activities of the following:
■ Non-escorted Visitors
■ Escorts
■ Escorted Visitors
Activity messages on the Monitor Station will distinguish:
■ Escorted Access messages from other Door/Area access messages.
■ Escorted Access violation messages from other Door/Area access violation messages.
■ 'Invalid escort' messages from 'escort not present' messages.
Escorted Access decisions to allow or deny access are made at a Door based on a person's Escorted
NOTE Visitor/Escort attribute. The iSTAR panel makes that decision regardless of whether or not the Door is
part of an Area. In other words, any Door that is not part of an Area will always require Escorted
Visitors to have an Escort to gain entry through that Door.

DynamicArea Manager
Dynamic Area Manager
This feature requires that a single person at any one time be made responsible for an iSTAR Area —become the Area
Manager. This person, who has a Clearance for the Area, must be the first one to enter the Area and then must be
the last person to leave. If this feature is enabled, when anyone in the Area presents a card to exit, the system checks
whether he/she is the Area Manager and whether he/she is the last one left. If it is the Area Manager swiping and
he/she is not the last person present, the exit is rejected with the reason "unattended".
This feature can also be used in conjunction with Conditional Access. See "iSTAR Door Conditional Access Tab" in
the Doors chapter in the C•CURE 9000 Hardware Configuration Guide.
Example:
This feature can be used for security in a banks cash counting room. It makes sure that one designated person,
the first to enter, oversees the entire operation and the other personnel within the room. Consequently, that
person, the Dynamic Area Manager', must be the last to leave the room after everyone else has exited.
The Area that a Dynamic Area Manager becomes responsible for can be regulated only by iSTAR Pro, eX, Edge, or
Ultra Controllers. The iSTAR controller that regulates the Door leading into the Area can be either a master or slave
in an iSTAR Cluster, and the Area itself may or may not cross Controller boundaries. Since occupancy is not
supported within Areas that cross physical Clusters, the C•CURE 9000 system-based Areas impacted by Dynamic
Area Manager are contained within a definitive iSTAR Cluster. These Areas use Antipassback control with
Occupancy control.
Once Dynamic Area Manager is enabled, the Area counts are tracked by the Panel instead of the Host. Consequently,
the feature will work even if the Server is unavailable. The Area User Count will indicate the presence or absence of
the 'Area Manager' as well as the number of 'Managed Personnel' inside—all Personnel admitted after the 'Area
Manager'.
An Area for which Dynamic Area Manager is enabled does not support Escorted Access
NOTE (Escorts/Visitors).
You configure the Dynamic Area Manager feature on the iSTAR Areas Occupancy tab. See iSTAR Area Occupancy
Tab on Page 78.
42 Chapter1 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224683
Tracking the Location of Personnel
Tracking the Location of Personnel
The C•CURE 9000 host maintains a iSTAR Area for each Personnel record —including those of Escorted Visitors and
Escorts —as well as the time at which the area was entered.
The current iSTAR Area represents the last known Area the person entered, based on a valid admit: there was a card
swipe granting access, and the Door/entry was opened after the access was granted. If the Door/entry is not opened
after a valid admit or access is denied, a person's current iSTAR Area is not updated.
The iSTAR Cluster Areas feature allows you to track the current location of Personnel in several different ways:
• Displaying their current Area on the Administration application Personnel Dynamic View. For information, see
Viewing Area Location of Personnel on Page 119
• Displaying the Personnel for a selected iSTAR Area from the following:
• Administration application Area Dynamic View.
• Monitoring Station Area Status List.
• Administration application/Monitoring Station Area icon on Map.
For information, see Viewing Personnel in an Area on Page 60 and the C• CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide.
• Running one of the pre-defined Reports with information related to Areas:
• Roll Call or Carpool Roll Call Report to generate a list of Personnel by Area(s) or Area group(s).
• Carpool Group Report to generate a list of Carpool Groups with their Group members.
• Visitor/Escort Reports to generate lists of Admitted/Rejected Escorts and/or Visitors.
You can run these Reports:
• From the Administration application Report Dynamic View.
• From the Monitoring Station Report Status List.
• By configuring an Event whose Action initiates the Report.
For information, see Running Area Pre-defined Reports on Page 123; Appendix A "Pre-defined Reports, Queries,
and Views" in the C•CURE 9000 Data Views Guide; the C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide; and the Event
chapter in the C• CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide.
Area User Count
The C•CURE 9000 server also maintains a count for each iSTAR Area of Personnel, Escorts and Escorted Visitors,
Dynamic Area Manager and Managed Personnel, and Conditionally Admitted Personnel that you can display on
either of the following:
• Administration application iSTAR Area Dynamic View.
• Monitoring Station Area Status List.
The count of these different Personnel types in an iSTAR Area can become incorrect due to tailgating, communication
failure, or restarting the master controller.
Example:
When a cardholder tailgates out of an area on which Occupancy Restrictions are configured, the personnel count
may become inaccurate if the cardholder is graced to enter another area - the previous area's personnel count
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter! 43
EFTA01224684
Tracking the Location of Personnel
may not decrement.
'Ibis problem can be avoided by configuring Occupancy Restrictions on every area. For those areas where Occupancy
Restrictions are not desired, the recommended configuration is to set the area Maximum Occupancy field to Allow
Access and set the Maximum Limit to a value higher than ever expected.
For the 'Personnel Count' to be maintained in a Carpool Area, you must configure Occupancy
NOTE Restrictions. If you do not want a real restriction, configure a high maximum Occupancy value, as
described in the preceding paragraph.
In addition, since counting for iSTAR Areas configured for occupancy is done by iSTAR Controllers, while it is done
by the host for non-occupancy Areas, the count can be corrupted if an existing Area is changed from occupancy to
non-occupancy—or vice versa. To keep the iSTAR Area counts correct, you should only make such changes when
the system is not busy and the Areas are empty.
A Cluster member Controller that is offline from the Master and host may not enforce occupancy
NOTE restrictions properly. As a result, when the Controller comes back online, the Area counts may be
wrong.
The Count Status for Personnel, Escorts, or Escorted Visitors in an iSTAR Area can be reset to the correct value by an
Operator through a property set. The Count Status for Area Manager, Conditionally Admitted Personnel, and
Managed Personnel can also be reset —but only to 0 (zero). (However, you should do this only if you are certain that
no such Personnel are currently in the iSTAR Area. Otherwise, changing the count to zero could cause unwanted
consequences.)
These manual modifications of the iSTAR Area counts are audited, unlike the system updates that are not.
For information, see Viewing a List of iSTAR Areas on Page 56 and Setting a Property for an iSTAR Area on Page 66.

Configuring an iSTAR Area
This procedure assumes that you have already configured the iSTAR Cluster(s) and Controllers, Doors, and Readers.
To aid in the configuration process, Software House suggests that you create a basic
NOTE
diagram showing all Doors, Readers, and Areas you need to configure. Then as you
perform the configuration of each component, mark the diagram so you know which
components are configured and which remain to be configured. Figure 1 on Page 18 is an
example of an Area diagram.
■ For a Cluster Area - The general sequence for creating/configuring an area is to first select the Cluster to control
the Area.
■ For a Cross-Cluster Area - The general sequence for creating/configuring an area is to first configure iSTAR
Clusters for Global Antipassback in addition to Cluster Antipassback.
You then add a row to the Access In table and select a Door, Reader, and an adjacent Area.
Since each row entry for Door and Reader requires an adjacent Area, the first Area (Areal, for example) must be
saved without any assigned Doors. You can then configure an adjacent Area (Areal, for example) with Door, Reader,
and the first Area you created (Areal) as the adjacent Area.
The easiest way to do the foregoing is to create the first Area, click Save and New, and then create the additional
Area(s) as described in the example procedure that follows.
Once you have saved Area2, it is automatically entered as the adjacent Area for Areal, and Area2's Access Out Door
and Reader are also entered as the Access In Door and Reader for Areal.
To Configure iSTAR Areas
1. Create a new iSTAR Area. (See Creating an iSTAR Area on Page 52.)
2. Type a Name and Description for the iSTAR Area that sufficiently identifies this Area and its purpose.
Example:
iSTARAreal
3. Select the Area type from the drop-down: Cluster Area or Cross-Cluster Area.
• If you chose Cluster Area, select an iSTAR Cluster for the Area on the General tab (shown in Figure 6 on
Page 68).
• If you chose Cross-Cluster Area, the system displays Global Antipassback iSTAR Area.
4. To save your first 'Doorless' Area and then create an adjacent Area, click Save and New.
The current Area is saved and closed, and the iSTAR Area Editor remains open, ready for a new Area.
5. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 on this page for the second Area.

You then add a row to the Access In table and select a Door (Entrance), Reader, and an adjacent Area.
Since each row entry for Door (Entrance) and Reader requires an adjacent Area, the first Area (Anal, for example)
must be saved without any assigned Doors (Entrances). You can then configure an adjacent Area (Area2, for
example) with Door (Entrance), Reader, and the first Area you created (Anal) as the adjacent Area.
The easiest way to do the foregoing is to create the first Area, click Save and New, and then create the additional
Area(s) as described in the example procedure that follows.
The Area adjacent to a Carpool Area can be either a Carpool Area or a non-Carpool Area.
NOTE An adjacent non-Carpool Area, however, cannot enforce any form of Antipassback, nor
can it be a Muster or Cross-Cluster Area.
Usually, you configure the Area adjacent to a Carpool Area as a 'virtual' Area, designated
as 'Outside'. You can also configure several Carpool Areas adjacent to each other.
Once you have saved Areal, it is automatically entered as the adjacent Area for Areal, and Area2's Access Out Door
(Entrance) and Reader are also entered as the Access In Door (Entrance) and Reader for Areal.
To Configure an iSTAR Carpool Area
1. Create a new iSTAR Area, whether a Carpool Area or a 'regular' Area. (See Creating an iSTAR Area on Page 52.)
2. Type a Name and Description for the Area that sufficiently identifies it and its purpose.
Examples:
OutsideAreaRearl or iSTARCarpoolAreaRearl
3. Select the Area type from the drop-down: Cluster Area.
4. Select an iSTAR Cluster for the Area on the General tab (shown in Figure 6 on Page 68).
5. To save your first 'Doorless' Area and then create an adjacent Area, click Save and New.
The current Area is saved and closed, and the iSTAR Area Editor remains open, ready for a new Area.
6. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 on this page for the second Area, giving it an appropriate name and description.
Examples:
iSTARCarpoolAreaRearl or iSTARCarpoolAreaRear2
7. Select the same iSTAR Cluster you selected in Step 4.
8. Use the General tab (shown in Figure 6 on Page 68) to configure the Access In table Doors (Entrances) and
Readers for the Area and the adjacent Area. The Access Out table is populated automatically based on the
Access In choices.
9. Use the Antipassback tab (shown in Figure 7 on Page 74) to configure Carpool Antipassback for the Area with
its related options.
10. Use the Occupancy tab (shown in Figure 8 on Page 78) to configure the Occupancy restrictions for the Carpool
Area.
11. Use the Triggers tab (shown in Figure 12 on Page 94) to configure triggers that can activate Event Actions when
the Carpool Area's different Violation properties and Occupancy statuses have a certain value.

iSTAR Area Antipassback Tab
The iSTAR Area Antipassback tab, shown in Figure 7 on Page 74, lets you define the type of Antipassback for the
iSTAR Area and its related options as well as the parameters for Area Lockout. You can also use this tab to configure
the iSTAR Area as a Carpool Area instead of a Personnel Area. (Carpool Areas cannot be Cross-Cluster.)
To configure antipassback you need at least two iSTAR Areas controlled by Readers —both an Access In Reader and
an Access Out Reader.
• For Cluster Antipassback - the readers must be on the same Ouster.
• For Global Antipassback (Cross-Cluster) - the readers can be on any Clusters that are configured for Global APB
as well as for Cluster APB.

Antipassback
Antipassback Click the down-arrow to select from the drop-down list the type of Antipassback for the Area.
Enforcement None - No antipassbackchecking is enforced. Personnel may enter and exit the Area if they have valid clearance. This is the
Type default.
AntIpass back - Regular antipassback checking is enforced. Antipassback violations occur when Personnel try to enter the
Area they cur rentty occupy (according to the system) or any non-adjacent Area.
Timed AntIpass back - Timed antipassback checking is enforced. Timed APB violations occur when Personnel try to re-
enter the Area theycurrenttyoccupy (according to the system) within a specified time period. After the specified time has
elapsed, Personnel are allowed to re-enter the Area, even if they have not exited validty. (However, for tracking purposes,
Personnel are considered to be in the area until they exit vabdty—even if the antipassback timer period has elapsed.)
NOTE: Bydefault. Timed APB Areas also enforce Regular APB rules. Personnel must exit an Area before entering a non-
adjacent Area.
Trigger violation NOTE:This field is available onty if Timed Antipassback is selected in the preceding field as the Enforcement type.

Only default iscleared.
Thus, when Personnel attempt to exit/enter an Area configured with this option:
• Regular APB exit rules are not checked and theycan exit.
• Regular APB entrance rules are not checked— so if the APB timer period has already elapsed for the person, they can
enter.
NOTE: If regular APB is configured on an adjacent Area, that Area still enforces the regular APB rules before granting either
entry/exit.
Valid Exit Clears NOTE: This field is available onty if 7lined AntIpass back is selected as the Enforcement type.
Timer Select this check box to indicate that if Personnel vabdty exit this Area, their APB time period is cancelled so they can re-enter
the Area at once. The default is cleared.

Select thischeck box to designate the Area as a CarpoolArea.
NOTE: If thisoption is selected, making this a CarpoolArea, you must select an Antlpassback Enforcement Type on the
top of the tab: either AntIpass back (regular) or Timed AntIpass back. (The re-entry time limit for Timed
Antipassback is the same for a Carpool Area as for a non-Carpool Area—a maximum of 7 days.)
Allow any person Select thisoption if you want to allow Personnel to use different cards from the same Carpool Group for entering and exiting
in carpool group the Carpool Area. (This means that even if cardholder one's card was used to enter the Area, cardholder two, three, or four

Occupancy Restrictions for Personnel Groups
Occupancy restrictions/limit counts set for Personnel Groups work in conjunction with the Occupancy restrictions/limitcountsset for All
Personnel. So be careful when configuring these options for the Area. See Rules for Area Occupancy Access on Page 82 for detailed information
and examples.
Personnel Group
Click in the Personnel Group field to display CI, and then dick this button to select a Personnel Group
for association with this /Yea from the dialog box that appears.
NOTE: If a person is a member of more than one Personnel Group selected for the same Area, the
Occupancy counts for the Groups are not maintained correctly when the person accesses the Area.
For this reason, Software House recommends avoiding this type of configuration.

Configuration Affects Occupancy Mode on Page 81.
How Area Occupancy Configuration Affects Occupancy Mode
The current Occupancy Mode for an Area —displayed on the Area Status tab (see iSTAR Area Status Tab on Page 99)
—is initially set by the way you configure the Occupancy restrictions for the Area, as described in Table 11 on Page
82.
Any one higher level Occupancy restriction, whether for 'All Personnel' or for a 'Personnel Group,' raises the
Occupancy Mode level.
Example:
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter 1 81
EFTA01224722
'STAR Area Editor
The Minimum and Maximum Occupancy for the Area for 'MI Personnel' is None, which would equal an
Occupancy Mode of 'No Occupancy Testing'. However, a Personnel Group is configured for the Area with a
Maximum limit of 5 and a Minimum limit of 2. As a result, the default setting for the Area's Occupancy Mode is
'Counting for Events and Access Restriction?
The Occupancy Mode can also be reset by Event Actions. For more information, see Configuring Event Actions to
Affect Areas on Page 114.

Rules for Area Occupancy Access
For any particular Area Occupancy configuration, whether a person is admitted or not is straightforward:
If any condition would deny access to the individual, then access is not granted.
The limits and restrictions configured for 'All Personnel' apply to the individual whether or not he/she belongs to a
Personnel Group configured in the Occupancy Restrictions for All Personnel Groups box.
Examples:
The following example cases in Table 12 on Page 83 and Table 13 on Page 83 show configurations for MI
personnel and for Personnel Groups.
For a group:
• "Restrict access" means that the Count access by Personnel in listed groups; do not restrict access check box
is not selected.
• "Allow access" means that the aforementioned check box is selected.

EFTA01224731
STAR Area Editor
When you configure Muster/De-muster, you must also configure both Areas either for
NOTE
Occupancy or without Occupancy. This is to keep the Area count correct since counting
for Areas configured for occupancy is performed by the iSTAR Controllers, while it is
performed by the host for Areas without occupancy. The system does not validate for this,
but if you do not follow this rule, your counts can become corrupted.
In addition, to keep the Area count correct for Personnel Groups, you must configure both
the Mustering Area and the De-muster Area with the same Groups. For information, see
Configuring Muster/De-muster Areas for Personnel Groups on Page 92.
(If you are going to change an existing occupancy Area to a non-occupancy Area —or vice
versa, you should ideally do it when the system is not busy and the Area is empty.
Alternatively, if there are Personnel in the Area, you can use the Set Property option on
the right-click context menu on the Areas Dynamic View to reset the count for the Area.)

Configuring Muster/De-muster Areas for Personnel Groups
To keep Personnel Group counts correct between a Mustering Area and the Area it de-musters to, you must configure
the Areas in a particular way.
A Muster Area can only report the Personnel Group counts that need to be added to its De-muster Area if it knows
about the Groups. So you must configure these Groups in the Personnel Groups list on the Muster Area's
Occupancy tab. Then you must add the same Personnel Groups to the related De-muster Area on its Occupancy tab.

For the Muster Area, you should also configure a high Maximum limit for each Personnel Group with no Minimum
limit and select the Count access by Personnel in listed groups; do not restrict access option.
Once you have configured both your Muster and De-muster Areas as described, the following happens:
1. When Personnel swipe into the Muster Area, the Area keeps count of total Personnel as well as Personnel in the

■ Deleting a Trigger from an iSTAR Area on Page 98.
How to Use the Triggers Tab
The tab contains one Action, Activate Event, that can be linked to a specific value of an Area-related violation or
state and to any panel or host Event configured in the system. Once the Area's state matches one of these values, the
linked Activate Event Action is triggered and the user-specified Event is set to an active state (if allowed by the
Event, which should be armed at the time). Violation Status Events (such as APB Entry/Exit Violations —
representing antipassback violations —and Access over Maximum/under Minimum Occupancy Violations) are
momentarily activated, while Maximum and Minimum Occupancy Status Events are persistent.
You could use the activated Event to display a Reader LCD Message saying "Lot Full" when a Parking Lot Area's
Maximum Occupancy Status becomes "At or Over Maximum".
By creating new rows and selecting different values for each row, each value of the Violation Status field can trigger
its own Event. It is also possible to trigger two different Events for the same violation state value by creating two
rows with the same value and then linking each row to its own Event.
However, each violation state value can activate only one panel Event

On the Area tab of the iSTAR Cluster Editor, as shown in Figure 16 on Page 105, you can configure the following:
• How Ouster Antipassback works during a communications failure when the Ouster members lose
communication with the Ouster master. See To Configure Cluster Antipassback Communications Failure Mode

Cluster Antipassback Communications Failure Mode
During a communications failure, the Ouster members (the Controllers) begin to enforce antipassback locally, based
on the Failure Mode you configure for the Ouster. By default the No Access option is cleared (not set), while the
Local option is selected (set).
A Ouster that has an Alternate Master configured supports only Local Failure Mode. Consequently,
NOTE
once a secondary Controller is selected for the Cluster, No access Mode is unavailable.
Global Antipassback for the Cluster
iSTAR Global Antipassback gives a higher level of security, but also means that when a person's card moves from
one Ouster to another, it must be transferred through the Host. Transfer through the Host is slower than within a
Ouster. It also requires Ouster to Host network connections to be good. Access within a Ouster is faster: it only

Configuring Event Actions to Affect Areas
You can configure an Event with Actions related to iSTAR Areas.
Example:
You can reset the current Occupancy Mode for an iSTAR Area —set by default by the original Occupancy
configuration. Such an Event Action can change an Area's Occupancy mode to 'Counting Only', which cannot
be set by the Area configuration. You can also use an Event Action to clear the Area counts for 'All Personnel'
and 'Personnel Groups'.
The following Event Actions pertain in some way to Areas:
• Allow Conditional AEONS Cycle
• Clear Area Counts
• De-muster Area
• Enable Counting for Access Restriction
• Enable Counting for Event
• Enable Counting Only
• Grace MI
• Grace MI Partitions
• Remove All Personnel from Area
To Configure Events with an Action to Affect an Area
1. Click Configuration to open the Configuration pane.
2. Select Event from the Configuration Pane drop-down list.
3. Click New on the Configuration Pane. The Event Editor opens.

Running Area Pre-defined Reports
Running Area Pre-defined Reports
C•CURE 9000 allows you to generate Software House pre-defined Reports with information related to Areas:
■ Roll Call Report (SWH2O - Roll Call) - gives a view of where personnel are located at the time the report is
started, the iSTAR Area/iSTAR Area Group, and can assist in the emergency evacuations of buildings.
C•CURE 9000 tracks the current location, or iSTAR Area, of all Personnel as they move through Doors controlled
by access Readers. This tracking is independent of the antipassback restrictions of an Area, so antipassback does
not have to be enforced for Roll Call Reports to be used.
iSTAR Area Groups, which can contain one or more iSTAR Areas, also support the generation of Roll Call
Reports (with the exception of the system default "All Areas" Group). An iSTAR Area may be assigned to several
iSTAR Area groups; the Areas assigned to an iSTAR Area Group may also span multiple iSTAR Controllers. For
information on iSTAR Area Groups, see the Groups chapter in the C• CURE 9000 Data Views Guide.
■ Carpool Roll Call Report (SVVH21 - Carpool Area Roll Call) - gives the last known Carpool Area for Personnel,
by Carpool Group, at the time the report is started. This is the last Carpool Area that the person entered.
However, if they exited to an adjacent Area not a Carpool Area, their Carpool Area location is not changed.
C•CURE 9000 tracks the current location of all Personnel parked in each Carpool Area, along with their Carpool
Group and whether they are the Group Driver.
■ Carpool Group Report (SVVH22 - Carpool Group) - gives a list of Carpool Groups with the names of the
conesponding Personnel members.
■ Visitor/Escort Reports (SWH50 - SWH55) - give lists of Admitted/Rejected Escorts and/or Visitors. For detailed
information about these Reports, see the table in the "Pre-defined Reports" section of Appendix A in the C•CURE
9000 Data Views Guide.
These are some of the many pre-defined Reports provided by Software House. While you cannot alter
NOTE the original Report, you can make a copy and then modify it to your liking. For information, see
Appendix A in the C•CURE 9000 Data Views Guide.
These Reports can be initiated in different ways:
■ Running Area Reports from the Administration Report Dynamic View on Page 123.
■ Running Area Reports from the Monitoring Station Report Status List on Page 125

Gracing Personnel
Gracing Personnel
You can choose to grace Personnel denied access to an Antipassback/Area Lockout/Carpool Area from both the
Administration application and the Monitoring Station. The first time personnel use their cards after a grace action,
the system does not check for Antipassback violations and also allows them into Areas from which they would
otherwise be locked out. For all subsequent use of their cards, the system returns to checking for Antipassback
violations and enforcing Area Lockouts.
You can also reset the iSTAR Global Antipassback owner of a person's card when the iSTAR owner is not
communicating.
■ The following apply to one or more selected persons.
• Grace Personnel
• Antipassback Reset Card
• Area Lockout Grace
• Grace Carpool Group - applies to all personnel in the group and can be applied in two different ways:
— To the Carpool Group.
— To any person who is a member of the Carpool Group
■ Grace All - applies to all Personnel and Carpool Groups in one or more selected Partitions. (In an unpartitioned
system, since all Security Objects are in the 'Default' Partition, applying Grace All to the Default Partition graces
all Personnel and all Carpool Groups in the C•CURE 9000.)
■ Grace All Partitions - applies to all Personnel and all Carpool Groups in all Partitions in the system—regardless
of how many partitions there are.
■ Grace Carpool Group is a 'timed' grace for which you must enter start/end times.
NOTE Everyone in the Carpool Group then gets free access to the Carpool Area for that time
period. (And after the period expires, they get one free access.)
■ Grace All and Grace All Partitions, on the other hand, apply a 'one-time' grace for the
Carpool that goes away after the first swipe, similar to regular Antipassback gracing.
The methods for 'gracing' are as follows:
■ Gracing One or More Selected Personnel
• From the Administration Application - see To Grace Selected Personnel from the Administration Application
on Page 128.
• From the Monitoring Station - see To Grace Selected Personnel from the Monitoring Station on Page 128.
■ Gracing All Personnel

Introduction
An iSTAR Intrusion Zone is a user-defined group of Doors and Inputs on the same local Controller that delineates a
physical area monitored for alarms —thus protecting that area. The Inputs you assign to an iSTAR Intrusion Zone—
such as motion detectors, glass break sensors, etc.—monitor security inside the zone. The Doors you assign to an
iSTAR Intrusion Zone define the entrance and exit points for the zone.
Grouping Doors and Inputs into an iSTAR Intrusion Zone allows easy Arming and Disarming of groups of alarm
monitoring points (Inputs), as well as Locking and Unlocking groups of doors, while displaying their current mode
and status. The local Controller is responsible for monitoring the Doors and Inputs, reporting the state of the
Intrusion Zone as a whole, and controlling the Door access modes and Input Arm/Disarm states. The use of
Intrusion Zones is optional.
In addition Triggers can be defined to link the Intrusion Zone's current mode and status (such as when a zone is
violated) to Events whose Actions sound an alarm or send an e-mail or page, for example.
138 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224777
STAR Intruson Zone Modes and States
iSTAR Intrusion Zone Modes and States
An Intrusion Zone is always in one of two modes:
■ Armed
■ Disarmed
An iSTAR Intrusion Zone in Anned mode can be in either of the following two states:
■ Violated
■ Not Violated
Regardless of its Mode and Violated state, an iSTAR Intrusion Zone's Ready To Ann State may be either:
■ Ready to Arm
■ Not Ready to Ann - the iSTAR Intrusion Zone has offnormal Inputs or open Doors (whether it is Armed or
Disarmed)
You can view the mode/state of an iSTAR Intrusion Zone in three places:
■ Administration application
• iSTAR Intrusion Zone Dynamic View - see Viewing Intrusion Zone Status on the Dynamic View on Page
161.
• iSTAR Intrusion Zone Editor Status tab- see Viewing Intrusion Zone Status on the Status Tab on Page 189.
■ Monitoring Station: Explorer Bar>Non-Hardware Status> Intrusion Zones>Status List - iSTAR Intrusion Zones
- see the Monitoring Status chapter in the C•CURE 9000 Monitoring Station Guide.
Armed
If the zone is Arnzed, the area is protected. You cannot enter an Anned Intrusion Zone without using Doors,
activating Inputs, and causing an Intrusion Zone Violation.
When you arm an Intrusion Zone, the iSTAR reports the Anned status to the C•CURE server. If the Arming method
included presenting a card, the hardware reports the Personnel access. The iSTAR also reports tamper, input
supervision errors, and communication failures.
For five seconds after an Intrusion Zone is armed, the zone's readers display "Area Anned" in the LCD area. This
message is followed by the current date and time. If there is an Event assigned to the Armed mode, the iSTAR
activates the Event while the Intrusion Zone is Anned.
Disarmed
If the zone is Disarmed, the Inputs assigned to that Intrusion Zone do not generate Intrusion Zone Violations when
activated (when people enter the zone, for example).
When you disarm an Intrusion Zone, the iSTAR reports the Disarmed status to the C•CURE server. If the Disarm
method included presenting a card, the hardware reports the Personnel access. For five seconds after an Intrusion
Zone is disarmed, the system displays Disarm status messages on all Readers within the zones. If there is an Event
assigned to the Disarmed mode, the iSTAR activates the Event while the Intrusion Zone is Disarmed.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter 2 137
EFTA01224778
'STAR Intrusion Zone Modes and States
The iSTAR processes access requests at the Intrusion Zone Doors during the Disarmed state. You can gain access at
the locked Doors through the usual means: valid card, valid card and pin, or RTE. The iSTAR also reports tamper,
input supervision errors, and communication failures.
Violated
An Intrusion Zone changes from Normal to Violated when the system detects an Intrusion Zone Violation. Violations
include:
■ Hardware tamper or communication failure.
■ Supervision errors for Intrusion Zone Inputs or tamper Inputs.
■ Inputs that activate while the zone is armed. (If the zone is disarmed within the entrance delay, the Violation
does not occur.)
■ Doors that open while the zone is armed. (If the zone is disarmed within the entrance delay, the Violation does
not occur.)
When the system detects an Intrusion Zone Violation, the iSTAR changes the status of the Intrusion Zone to Violated
and notifies C•CURE 9000 of the Violation. The server records the Violation in the journal and generates an activity
message at the Monitoring Station.
If the Intrusion Zone includes an action, such as flashing lights, configured on the Triggers tab for the Event to be
activated if the Zone is in a Violated state, the system initiates the action while the Intrusion Zone is Violated.
The Intrusion Zone status remains Violated—whether or not the object causing the Violation returns to the Normal
state—until you change the mode of the Intrusion Zone to Armed or Disarmed.
You can change the mode to Armed via key-press/active input and card swipe, Keypad Command Action, or an
Arm selected Direct Action from the Administration application Dynamic View or Monitoring Station Status List.
You can only disarm a Violated iSTAR Intrusion Zone if you have selected the Allow Disarm While Violated option
on the iSTAR Intrusion Zone Arm - Disarm tab. (If this option is not selected, you must first clear the Violation by
deactivating the appropriate Inputs and re-arming the zone, or by force-arming the zone.
You can change the mode to Disarmed via card swipe, key-press/active input and card swipe, Keypad Command
Action, or a Disarm selected Direct Action from the Administration application Dynamic View or Monitoring
Station Status List.
For instructions on Arming and Disarming a zone, see Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode on Page 140.
Ready to Arm/Not Ready to Arm
The status of the Intrusion Zone may be either Ready to ann or Not ready to ann.
Ready to Arm
You can arm an Intrusion Zone whose status is Ready to arm. The intrusion zone is ready to arm when:
■ All objects assigned to the Intrusion Zone are in a Normal state
■ Intrusion Zone Inputs are not active
■ Intrusion Zone Doors are closed
138 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224779
STAR Intruson Zone Modes and States
Not Ready to Arm
The status of an Intrusion Zone is Not ready to ann when:
■ Any object assigned to the Intrusion Zone is not functioning normally
■ An Intrusion Zone Input is active
■ An Intrusion Zone Door is open
When the Intrusion Zone status is Not ready to ann, you cannot change the mode of the zone from Disarmed to
Armed unless you use the "force armed" feature.
You can force ann an intrusion zone with a normal Event Action, a local Keypad Command Action, or a Direct
Action from the Administration application Dynamic View or Monitoring Station Status List. A force ann is
necessary when one or more Intrusion Zone Inputs are active, causing a Not ready to ann state. You can also force
ann an Intrusion Zone, to intentionally disregard an active monitoring point.

Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode
Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode
The Arming/Disarming mode of an iST/tR Intrusion Zone can be controlled by the following methods, illustrated in
Figure 28 on Page 140:
■ Card Control
■ Event Control
• C•CURE 9000 Events
• Keypad Command Events
• Monitoring Station Manual Event Activation
■ Manual Control (Direct Actions from Monitoring Station)
Figure 28: Controlling 'STAR Intrusion Zone Modes
Swett Schein from Monitot
Card Control Station a section
When the Intrusion Zone is armed, all the Intrusion Zone Inputs are armed, Intrusion Zone Doors are set to an
armed state, and the Intrusion Zone's Trigger-linked armed Event is active. If Intrusion Zone Inputs activate while
the Intrusion Zone is armed and the Intrusion Zone is not disarmed before the Entrance Delay expires, the Intrusion
Zone goes into a Violated state and triggers the violated event.
When the Intrusion Zone is disarmed, all Intrusion Zone Inputs (except for Protected Inputs) are disarmed, Intrusion
Zone doors are set to a disarmed state, and the Intrusion Zone's Trigger-linked disarmed Event is active.
If Inputs activate while the Intrusion Zone is armed or disarmed, the Intrusion Zone becomes not-ready-to-arm and
triggers the not-ready-to-arm event.
The various methods can be combined.
140 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224781
Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode
Example:
You can arm an Intrusion Zone via Card Control —a card read, but disarm it with Event Control-an event
triggered by a Keypad Command.
Card Control
Card Control provides the methods shown in Table 27 on Page 141 to arm or disarm a zone.
Table 27: Card ControlOptions
Disarm Arm
Credential Only (with valid Clearance) Key-press' and Credential (with valid Clearance)
Credential (with valid Clearance) and Active Input•' Active Input" and Credential (with valid Clearance)

'To key-press, press the CMD/ENT key twice; and then presenta valid Credential within ten seconds.
"An Active Input is any ava ila ble input of the ISTAR. It Is common to use a key-activated switch as the Active Input. The switch
must be active prior to the presentation of the Credential.
When arming or disarming an Intrusion Zone by Card Control, the behavior of the zone and the Door is affected by
the location of the Reader, whether outside the zone or inside the zone.
When the Intrusion Zone is armed from an outside Reader, the door strike is not activated when the valid Credential
is read. The system determines that the zone is being armed because either the Active Input is active or CMD/ENT
has been pressed twice (a key-press). Since you are already outside the Intrusion Zone, there is no need to activate
the door strike. If you ann the Intrusion Zone from an inside Reader, then the door strike does activate.
Example:
Figure 29 on Page 142 illustrates the use of the Door State Monitor (DSM) when controlling an Intrusion Zone by
card control:
• The diagram begins with the zone armed.
• A person then disarms the Intrusion Zone using card control at
Reader 1. (Notice that when the door opens after the valid card read, the zone immediately disarms.)
• Later, the person arms the Intrusion Zone from the inside using card control at Reader 2. (Notice that the
Intrusion Zone does not ann until the person leaves the Intrusion Zone by opening and then closing the
door.)

For more information about outside/inside Readers, see Door Behavior for Entrance and Exit Doors on Page 151.
When card control is used, the person must have a valid Clearance at the door where the card is presented. As
documented in Table 27 on Page 141, card control can be further qualified by requiring the person to be a member of
a particular Personnel Group.
Personnel designated as Intrusion Zone Administrators do not have to be included in the
NOTE
required Personnel Group, but must have valid Clearance at the door. For more
information, see Configuring a Person to Arm/Disarm Intrusion Zones on Page 192.
Event Control
There are Event Actions that control the mode of iSTAR Intrusion Zones. Some can be used by any Event and others
are restricted to Keypad Command Events.
The Event Actions in the following list can be used by any Event and can control any of the iSTAR Intrusion Zones.
They can be either Ouster- or Host-based, unless they are linked to a Keypad Command—in which case they must
be downloaded to an iSTAR Controller in a Cluster.
■ Ann Intrusion Zone
■ Disarm Intrusion Zone
■ Force ann Intrusion Zone
■ Toggle Intrusion Zone mode
The Event Actions in the following list are restricted to Keypad Commands. These actions must be downloaded to
the iSTAR Controller where the Intrusion Zone is configured. The Keypad Reader must be associated with a Door
that is part of the Intrusion Zone.
■ Show Intrusion Zone Offnonnal Points
■ Show Intrusion Zone Status
■ Ann Local Intrusion Zone
■ Disarm Local Intrusion Zone

Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode
• Force Arm Local Intrusion Zone
• Show Local Intrusion Zone Offnormal Points
• Show Local Intrusion Zone Status
• Toggle Local Intrusion Zone
Event Caused by Schedule
A Schedule can be configured to cause an Event that can automatically control the Intrusion Zone based on date and
time.
Example:
Disarming an Intrusion Zone during normal work hours.
Controlling Intrusion Zones with Schedules is different from controlling other C•CURE 9000 Objects.
Arming/disarming is done on the leading edge of the Schedule Event. The ann state does not follow the state of the
Schedule or the Event.
Use a one-minute Schedule-caused Event to ann the Intrusion Zone and another one-minute Schedule-caused Event
to disarm it, as shown in the example in Figure 30 on Page 143.

Event Caused by an Input
Any Input (except those with a special use, such as a Door State Monitor) can be used to activate an Event which
then controls the Intrusion Zone. For instance, a switch inside the Intrusion Zone can be used to toggle the Intrusion
Zone between the armed and disarmed states. If an Input is used in this way, the Intrusion Zone configuration
permits Entrance and Exit Delays to allow time to get in or out of the Intrusion Zone before an alarm is triggered.
Event Caused by Another Event
C•CURE 9000 Event capability permits linking other Events to the Events that control the Intrusion Zone.
Example:
The Intrusion Zone can be immediately armed and secured if a duress condition or door forced alarm occurs
anywhere in the building.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter 2 143
EFTA01224784
Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode
Event Caused by a Keypad Command
Use the Keypad Command capability of the C•CURE 9000 to activate Events that control Intrusion Zones from
Reader Keypads.
An important point to understand about Keypad Command Events is that these events live until overridden. An
action is required to undo or override a Keypad Command Event. Software House recommends constructing Keypad
Commands in pairs; use one Keypad Command to activate an Object, and another Keypad Command to deactivate
the Object.
There are various ways these Keypad Command pairs can be configured.
Any event caused by a Keypad Command must be downloaded to an iSTAR Controller that is part of the same
Cluster where the Intrusion Zone is configured.
It is also possible to activate Events in another Cluster by using 'indirection' —have the Keypad Event activate an
Event in the Cluster which then activates a further Event that is in either the Host or another Cluster.
Local - Some Intrusion Zone Event Actions are local —the Keypad Command must come from a Reader on a Door in
the Intrusion Zone. The Event triggered by that Keypad Command must be downloaded to the iSTAR Controller that
includes the Intrusion Zone.
Manual Event Activation from the Monitoring Station
Any Event can be activated from the Monitoring Station by a Manual Action. You define the time and date the
activation will start and end.
Remember that the arming and disarming is edge-triggered, so you want one Event to arm
NOTE
the Intrusion Zone and another Event to disarm the Intrusion Zone.
Direct Action at the Monitoring Station
You can manually Disarm, Arm, or Force-arm a selected Intrusion Zone from the Monitoring Station Status List for
Intrusion Zones. These actions do not need a start/end date and time. If the Action is allowed, it occurs immediately.
Some situations where such an action is or is not allowed follow:
■ You cannot Disarm an armed Intrusion Zone that is in violation unless the Allow Disarm While Violated
option is selected. (See iSTAR Intrusion Zone Ann - Disarm Tab on Page ln.)
■ You cannot Arm a disarmed Intrusion Zone if the Intrusion Zone is not ready to arm (the Intrusion Zone
contains one or more activated Inputs). However, in such a situation you can Force-arm the Intrusion Zone.
When an Intrusion Zone is force-armed, the latter inputs do not cause a violation, but continue to cause a not
ready to arm state.
Inputs
An iSTAR Intrusion Zone can have three types of Inputs:
■ Controlled Inputs
■ Protected Inputs
■ Monitored Inputs
144 Chapter 2 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224785
Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode
Controlled Inputs
These are the regular inputs that are configured to be part of the Intrusion Zone. These Inputs are configured to be
armed and disarmed as the Intrusion Zone is armed and disarmed. The Intrusion Zone monitors these Inputs and
does not allow arming if they are active, and if these Inputs become active while the Intrusion Zone is armed, the
zone becomes Violated.
Protection Inputs
These Inputs are configured to be monitored by an Intrusion Zone without being disarmed and armed by the zone.
The Intrusion Zone monitors these Inputs and does not allow normal arming if they are active. These Inputs are not
controlled by the Intrusion Zone, nor are they normal monitored Inputs of the zone. However, these Inputs are
configured as part of the Intrusion Zone and have option flags set to indicate that they are protection Inputs. If these
Protection Inputs become active while the Intrusion Zone is armed, the zone becomes Violated.
Monitored Inputs
'these Inputs, which are monitored by the Intrusion Zone but not armed or disarmed by the Intrusion Zone, are not
specifically configured as part of the Intrusion Zone—they are not in the Intrusion Zone selected Inputs list. Instead,
these Inputs are automatically derived from the Controller, Doors, Arm/Disarm Inputs, Protection Inputs, and
Controlled Inputs that are configured for the Intrusion Zone. The Monitored Inputs monitor the health of the
Intrusion Zone's configured Controlled/Protection Inputs and Doors. The list of Monitored Inputs includes the
Controller cabinet tamper and all the tampers and comm fail Inputs for the Hardware that controls the Inputs and
Doors configured to be in the iSTAR Intrusion Zone, as well as supervision errors for all Intrusion Zone Hardware.
Activation of these Inputs causes an armed Intrusion Zone to become violated and prevents normal Intrusion Zone
arming. Force arming over an active Monitored Input allows the Intrusion Zone to arm, without affecting the state of
the Monitored Input. Subsequent new activation of the Monitored Input causes the armed zone to become violated.
When Monitored Inputs are activated, they appear on the Reader LCD of Intrusion Zone Doors if these Doors are
configured for 'Status' display mode.
The following list includes all the groups of Inputs that are monitored by iSTAR Intrusion Zones:
Most of the Monitored Inputs cannot be removed from the Intrusion Zone Monitored
NOTE
Inputs list, but if the Input is not configured in the system at all, then the physical/logical
Input will not be monitored by the Intrusion Zone.
The first two Monitored Inputs in the list, the iSTAR cabinet tamper and the door open
state for the Doors, have special behavior. The others from #3 onward have the common
behavior of preventing arming and causing immediate violation of an armed Intrusion
Zone.
1. iSTAR Cabinet Tamper - The cabinet tamper for the iSTAR Controller is a Monitored Input for all Intrusion
Zones on that iSTAR. This is the only such Input that can be removed from the Monitored Input list through a
system variable. (For information, see the "iSTAR Driver" section in the System Variables chapter in the
C•CURE 9000 System Maintenance Guide.)
2. Door Open Status - This is the door open state for Doors configured to be part of the iSTAR Intrusion Zone. An
open Door prevents normal arming. A Door on an armed Intrusion Zone that opens either starts an entrance
delay or if there is no entrance delay, causes the Intrusion Zone to be violated.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter 2 145
EFTA01224786
Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode
3. DSM/RTE Supervision Errors - Supervision errors on DSMs and RTEs for Doors configured to be part of the
Intrusion Zone.
4. Controlled Input Supervision Errors - Supervision errors for Controlled Inputs that are part of the Intrusion
Zone.
5. Other Inputs - Supervision errors for the arm/disarm Inputs that may be configured for the Intrusion Zone.
6. Reader Tamper and Reader Comm. Fail - Reader tamper and reader comm. fail Inputs —if configured —for
Readers on Doors that are in the Intrusion Zone. Also includes:
• Reader tamper and reader comm. fail Inputs —if configured —for Readers that contain Controlled Inputs for
the Intrusion Zone even if the Reader is not on any Door or is on a Door that is not part of the Intrusion Zone.
• Reader tamper and reader comm. fail Inputs —if configured —for Readers that contain any ann or disarm
Inputs for the Intrusion Zone or for Readers that may contain any advanced door monitoring Inputs for
Doors controlled by the Intrusion Zone.
• Reader tamper and reader comm. fail Inputs for Readers that may contain any Outputs used by Doors
controlled by the Intrusion Zone.
7. 1/8 Input Board Tamper and Comm. Fail - Tamper and comm. fail Inputs —if configured —for 1/8 Input boards
that contain Controlled Inputs for the Intrusion Zone. Also includes 1/8 Input Board Tamper and Comm. Fail
Inputs for 1/8 boards that contain Intrusion Zone arm/disarm Inputs.
8. R/8 Output Board Tamper and Comm. Fail - Tamper and comm. fail Inputs —if configured —for R/8 Output
boards that contain any Outputs used by Doors controlled by the Intrusion Zone.
9. Tamper and Comm. Fail for Protection Inputs - the tamper and comm. fail inputs —if configured —for the
Readers and 1/8 Input boards that contain the Protection Inputs.
10. Protection Input Supervision Errors - Supervision errors of Protection Inputs are also treated as Monitored
Inputs.
Figure 31 on Page 147 shows a basic iSTAR Intrusion Zone with two doors and six Inputs. The Inputs are switch
contacts that indicate situations such as glass breakage, motion sensing, etc.
■ If any Input is active (excluding an entrance delay or a shunt) when the Intrusion Zone is armed, there is a
violation.
■ If any Input is active when the Intrusion Zone is disarmed, the zone is considered to be not ready to arm.

A Controlled Input can optionally be configured either to be shunted during an entrance delay or to be shunted and
also to trigger an entrance delay.
Shunt Example:
When a switch inside the Intrusion Zone controls arming and disarming and the switch area is monitored by a
motion sensor, you would want the motion sensor (Input) to be shunted during the entrance delay.
Entrance Delay Example:
When a perimeter Door of the Intrusion Zone is either key-operated or has a combination lock, you would want
an Input monitoring the Door to trigger an entrance delay. This would allow a person time to disarm the
Intrusion Zone after entering. This Input would also be shunted during the entrance delay.
Protection Input Example:
The Glass Break Sensor Inputs #1 and #2 are Protected Inputs that are always armed (24/7). They are never
shunted during an entrance delay, nor do they trigger an entrance delay.
• If these Protected Inputs activate while the Intrusion Zone is armed, the zone becomes violated.
• If these Protected Inputs activate while the Intrusion Zone is disarmed, the Inputs report their Input state and
the zone becomes not ready to arm.
Intrusion Zone Status Triggers
Triggers allow you to configure the activation of Events that both display the Intrusion Zone mode and respond to
the state of the Intrusion Zone. The Events can be configured to activate when the iSTAR Intrusion Zone is in the
following modes/states:
• While disarmed
• While armed

■ When not ready to arm
■ When violated
■ When not violated
You can also configure a Trigger ('ann check status') that activates an Event if it finds that the Intrusion Zone is not
armed during a specified Schedule.
Events indicating an Armed or Disarmed mode are usually used to activate status indicators that indicate the
Intrusion Zone's mode.
A Not ready to arm state exists when the zone is disarmed and any Input in the zone is active. The Not ready to
arm state is asserted even when an approved person opens the door. A typical use of the event is to activate an
indicator light.
A Zone violated state can use an event to sound an alarm and cause other actions in response to the violation.
Some of these Events may be either Panel-based (Controller) or Host-based. Others are either Host only or Panel only.
The actions of these events can link to any system Objects, Events, or iSTAR Clusters.
Table 28 on Page 148 shows the effect of off normal points on not ready to arm and violated Events. The Property
Value: Violated column indicates if the Intrusion Zone is in violation after any entrance/exit delay expires.

niCases 6-7 explain a Force Armed situation. You can force arm an Intrusion Zone with a normal Event Action/ Local
Keypad Command Action/ Direct Action from the Monitoring Station. A force arm is necessary when one or more
Intrusion Zone Inputs are active due to a fault: causing a not ready to arm state.
In case 6, with the Intrusion Zone force armed with an active Input, the zone is in Armed mode, in a not ready to
arm state, and not violated. If the active Input goes non-active, the not ready to arm state deactivates. The effect
of force arming is to ignore any active Inputs at the time of the force arm to indicate a violation.
In case 7, the Intrusion Zone is force armed with an active Input as in case 6, but another Input goes active;
therefore, the Intrusion Zone is in Armed mode, in a not ready to arm state, and is violated.
Doors
When configuring the doors that define an iSTAR Intrusion Zone, you must consider the values for the following
optional fields:
■ Ann state and Disarm state
■ Card Control
■ Display
■ Entrance or Exit Door
Arm Mode and Disarm Mode
When an Intrusion Zone is in either Armed/ Disarmed mode, an Intrusion Zone Door has three possible states.
In Armed mode - The three possible Door states are:
■ Locked - The Door is locked. A Card access with a valid Clearance is required to enter. If a card is presented, it
must immediately disarm the zone by Card control or coincide with a disarm of the Intrusion Zone by other
methods within the Entrance Delay Time.
■ Secured - The Door is secured. The Door Reader does not allow a card access, but can be used for Card control
and Keypad Commands. The Door status must be changed to Locked or Unlocked before it can be used for
access. Typically, Disarming the Intrusion Zone changes the Door to Locked or Unlocked.
■ Unlocked - It is unlikely to want a perimeter Door of the Intrusion Zone left unlocked. However, there could be a
Door within the Intrusion Zone that is left unlocked for safety reasons.
In Disarmed mode - The three possible door states are:
■ Locked - The Door is locked. A card access with a valid Clearance is required.
■ Secured - The Door is secured. The Door Reader does not allow a card access, but can be used for card control
and Keypad Commands. Before the Door can be used for access, its state must be changed to "Locked" or
"Unlocked".
This state is not often used in a Disarmed Intrusion Zone. There could be a case, however,
NOTE
where a Door in the zone leading to a store room (or something similar) is left secured
even though the Intrusion Zone is Disarmed.
■ Unlocked - The Door is open. No card access is required.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter 2 149
EFTA01224790
Controlling Intrusion Zone Mode
Card Control
This option controls whether the Card control methods, described in Card Control on Page 141, are allowed at this
Door.
If Card control methods are configured, Card reads are allowed even if the Door state is unlocked or secure. In the
latter cases, the card reads are not used for access but for Card swipe arm/disarm of the Intrusion Zone. If the
system determines that the Card read is not being used for arm or disarm, the Card reads will be ignored.
Display
This option controls whether or not status information about this Intrusion Zone is shown on the LCD display on
the door reader(s).
■ Display flag is set to blank. The first line of the Reader's LCD shows date and time, while the second line
momentarily shows or mode change status/access control messages.
■ Display flag is set to Status. The first line of the Reader's LCD shows date and time, while the second line
alternates between normal door modes/actions, Intrusion Zone modes/actions, and off normal point(s)—if there
are any. If there is more than one off normal point, each successive display shows the next one in sequence.

Entrance/Exit Door
Whether a Door is an Entrance or an Exit Door relates to whether or not the inbound Reader of the Door leads into
the Intrusion Zone.
The purpose is to allow the Intrusion Zone to decide whether a person is physically inside or outside of the zone.
■ If they are outside when they disarm the zone, then the Door strike needs to be opened.
■ If they are outside when they arm the zone, there is no need to activate the strike.
In most cases, the inbound Reader leads into the Intrusion Zone and the outbound Reader leads out of the zone. In
these cases, designate the door as an Entrance Door.
The Exit Door designation is rarely used. The Exit Door designation relates to an Intrusion Zone that is also part of,
or abutting, an antipassback (APB) area. Figure 33 on Page 151 shows two APB areas, with one of them also being
an Intrusion Zone.

Example:
Assume that the APB Areas in Figure 33 on Page 151 above were created prior to the Intrusion Zone. When
defining AP Area 52 the middle door was defined with Reader 3 as the inbound Reader to AP Area 52 and
Reader 4 as the outbound Reader from AP Area 52 to AP Area 51.
Later when the Intrusion Zone was configured, the left-side door was configured as an Entrance Door since the
inbound Reader brought you into the Intrusion Zone. The middle door was configured as an Exit door since the
outbound reader brought you into the 12.
Designating a Door as an Exit Door reverses the actions and effects of the Door strike and the Door State Monitor
(DSM), as described in the following section, Door Behavior for Entrance and Exit Doors. The inbound Reader of an
Entrance Door behaves exactly the same as the outbound Reader of an Exit door, and vice versa.
Door Behavior for Entrance and Exit Doors
You control how the Door strike behaves, and the DSM is interpreted with the Entrance and Exit selection. (When
the door strike is active and a DSM exists, you must open, and sometimes close, the Door for actions to take effect.)
Table 29 on Page 151 shows all the meaningful situations that you may encounter with Entrance/Exit Doors.

aCases 1 and 5 represent approaching the armed Intrusion Zone from outside and disarming it with Card control. The
zone disarms and you are granted access. If a DSM is configured, the zone does not disarm until the Door opens and
activates the DSM.
bCases 2 and 6 represent arming the Intrusion Zone by Card control from the Reader physicalty outside the zone.
NOTE: The Card arms the zone, but does not activate the strike.
If you simpty present your Card with no attempt to arm the zone, it is treated as a normal Door access and activates the
strike. The system can differentiate between a Door access and an attempt to arm: to indicate that you want to arm the
zone, you must have either pressed CMD/ENT twice or have an active Input.
aCases 3 and 7 represent approaching the inside Reader and arming the Intrusion Zone.
NOTE: The door strike is activated to allow exit.
You should also configure an exit delay for these cases. If a DSM is configured, the zone does not arm until the Door
opens and closes.
dCases 4 and 8 represent disarming the Intrusion Zone from an inside Reader. (For security reasons, this zone may
be configured to only be armed or disarmed from inside.) You gain access through the Door with an entrance delay,
enter, and then disarm the zone. Any motion sensor Inputs covering entrance areas during this time must be shunted.
NOTE: The strike does not activate in these cases because you are already in the zone.
To arm an Intrusion Zone from the outbound reader (for a double-reader door), an Exit Delay time of
NOTE 4 seconds or greater must be configured on the Intrusion Zone Arm - Disarm tab.

Ropey Vdue Acbon D dais Schedule
The tab contains one Action, Activate Event, that can be linked to a specific value of an Intrusion Zone-related state
and to any panel or host Event configured in the system. Once the Intrusion Zone's state matches one of these
values, the linked Activate Event action is triggered and the user-specified Event is set to an active state (if allowed
by the Event, which should be armed at the time).
Typically you could use the activated Event to ann or disarm an Intrusion Zone, set off an alarm when an Intrusion
Zone is in a Violated state, or schedule a nightly Arming check for a particular Intrusion Zone. For details about
available Trigger properties, their corresponding values, the Event types, and Scheduling, see Table 42 on Page 184.
By creating new rows and selecting different values for each row, each value of the Property field can trigger its own
Event. It is also possible to trigger two different Events for the same Intrusion Zone state value by creating two rows
with the same value and then linking each row to its own Event.
You use the Triggers tab to accomplish the tasks listed below, needed to configure an iSTAR Intrusion Zone. The
procedural steps for each task are detailed in the following subsections.

Overview
Overview
You can configure Keypad Commands that authorized personnel can execute using the keypad on Readers (RMs)
connected to iSTAR Controllers (see Figure 45 on Page 198).
Figure 45: Reader with Keypad
A Keypad Command is a unique (within an iSTAR Ouster) nine-digit number entered on the keypad (with optional
prompting) that activates a specific Event.
Keypad Commands can activate Panel Events that initiate:
■ Intrusion Zone Actions, such as arming, disarming, and toggling Intrusion Zones, as well as checking their
status and the status of their Doors and Inputs. These Keypad Commands must be entered at Readers that are
part of the Intrusion Zone.
■ System-wide actions. These actions can control objects in the host and other clusters.
■ Local target actions, such as locking/unlocking a door by entering a keypad command on its keypad. These
actions operate on the security device that activated the event, the door that owns the reader with that keypad,
rather than on a specific target.
Figure 46 on Page 199 illustrates the capabilities of keypad commands.

Keypad Commands activate Events in a special way:
■ The Event is activated with no end time, but when the activation is superseded, the Keypad Command
disappears from the Event's cause list instead of remaining until another cause overrides it.
■ These Keypad Command-activated Events 'live until overridden'. An Action is required to undo or override a
Keypad Command Event.
The recommended procedure is to construct keypad commands in pairs; use one Keypad Command to activate an
object, and another Keypad Command to deactivate the object.
The Keypad Command may be configured to require a card presentation and, optionally, a PIN to validate the
command. The Keypad Command may also be limited to a specific personnel group's card numbers. Additionally,
the Keypad Command may be limited to specific doors in the cluster, and specific readers may be configured to
disallow the use of Keypad Commands.
Examples of Keypad Command Use
The following examples show security requirements that are met by creating keypad commands:
■ The site, a multi-tenant office building, uses building security personnel to monitor tenants on all floors. To arm
and disarm different intrusion zones, keypad commands initiate events that activate local actions.
• The command 110 disarms any zone from a reader on a door that is part of the zone.
• The command 120 arms any zone from a reader on an intrusion zone door.
■ The site, a hospital, requires local door locking and unlocking for specific time periods to provide wheelchair
access. In this case, Keypad Commands are created that initiate events with local door actions.
■ The hospital staff enter the commands at readers outside the door.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter 3 199
EFTA01224840
• The Keypad Command 100, named "Enter time 15", unlocks the door for 15 minutes (minimum activation
time in Event configuration).
• The Keypad Command 200, named "Enter time 30" unlocks the door for 30 minutes.
• The Keypad Command 300, named "Enter time 00" locks the door.
How Keypad Commands Work
An Event activated by a Keypad Command, once activated, requires a separate action to override (deactivate) it.
The following sections describe the methods you can use to activate and deactivate Keypad Commands.
Method 1
Figure 47 on Page 200 demonstrates using two Keypad Commands to control an Output.
■ Keypad Command 1 and Event 1 are used to activate the Output, while Keypad Command 2 and Event 2 are
used to deactivate it.
■ When the Event 2 Action asserts, it overrides the Action of Event 1, and Event 1 is overruled.
This method works well in situations when there are no other controls on the Output. However, this method leaves a
deactivation on the Output at whatever priority level is set by Event 2. If Keypad Command 1 asserts again, it will
override Event 2.

Method 2
Figure 48 on Page 201 shows an alternate method that results in deactivation of all Keypad Command Events.
■ Keypad Command 1 causes Event 1 and activates the Output.
■ To reset the Output, Keypad Command 2 activates Event 2 which has the following two Actions:
• One Action is to deactivate Event 1.
• The second Action is to deactivate itself.
Event 2 deactivates itself by activating Event 3, which has the Action of deactivating Event 2.

Keypad Command Configuration Requirements
Keypad Command Configuration Requirements
Keypad Commands must follow these guidelines and requirements:
■ Keypad Command events must be downloaded to a Cluster.
■ Local Keypad Commands for Intrusion Zones must be issued from a Reader that is part of a Door included in
the Intrusion Zone (the local Keypad Command is applied to the Intrusion Zone that includes the Door. This
allows a given local Keypad Command— for example, "Arm Local Intrusion Zone" —to be used in many
Intrusion Zones). The associated Events for a given Intrusion Zone must be downloaded to a Controller in the
Ouster that contains that Intrusion Zone.
■ The Event Actions of most Keypad Commands can affect objects anywhere in the system. If the Event Actions
affect objects outside the Ouster and the Ouster becomes disconnected from the host (a communications failure),
the normal algorithms will be used on re-connection. If a momentary activity occurred during the
communications failure, there will be no attempt to re-issue the activity. If an activation that is still true was
missed during the communications failure, there will be an attempt to re-issue the activation.
■ If the Keypad Command requires the swipe of a Card, Personnel must have clearance to a Door in order to issue
a Keypad Command from that Door. This applies even if their Card configuration includes the Keypad
Command Administrator option. It does not apply if the Keypad Command does not require card number.
■ Keypad Commands can be entered from Doors that are locked, unlocked, or secure. This is done so a person can
ann or disarm an Intrusion Zone from the outside Doors regardless of the Door state.
■ For security reasons, if the iSTAR Controller does not recognize the first— the Command —portion of the Keypad
Command (or if the Keypad Command is disabled), it will still ask for all parts configured for the Keypad
Command, as well as for a Card presentation.
If the Keypad Command is disabled, but is configured for a PIN, it will ask for a PIN. In addition, if the Keypad
Command is recognized but the Card fails some test (Clearance, Lost, etc.) and the Keypad Command is
configured for a PIN, the PIN is still requested.
This is done to confuse someone who may be "trying" out the keypad to see if they can figure out the
commands.

Keypad Command Format
Keypad Command Format
Keypad Commands can be entered on the keypad as a single number or as a two- or three-part number. With two- or
three-part Keypad Commands, the system helps the person entering the Keypad Command by prompting for the
second and third parts.

Consequently, the first step in creating keypad commands is to define, system-wide, the command format. This
involves the following:
1. Deciding whether the command format is to be one-part, two-part, or three-part. (The default is one-part with 9
digits.)
2. Defining the number of keypad characters in the Command Code (required).
3. Optionally, defining the number of keypad characters for Prompt 1.
4. Optionally, defining the number of keypad characters for Prompt 2.
You configure the Keypad Command format as described in Defining Keypad Command Formats on Page 207.
Format Requirements
Keypad Command formats must conform to the following guideline:
• The combined value for the Command Code, Prompt 1 Code, and
Prompt 2 Code can be any combination that adds up to 9 digits.
Command Code is required and accepts a value of 1 to 9; Prompt 1 and Prompt 2 Codes are optional and accept
a value from 0 to 8.
• The string for Prompt 1 is "ENTER ACCESS". This is a text only field with no internal significance.
• The string for Prompt 2 is "ENTER TARGET". This is a text only field with no internal significance.
• Keypad Command sequences and optional prompts must be unique.
• Personnel entering Command Code at keypads must bracket each code with the CMD/ENT key and must not
use 0 (zero) as the first digit of the code.
Example:
CMD/ENT 222 CMD/ENT is correct;
while CMD/ENT 022 CMD/ENT is incorrect.
You should not modify the command formats after you use them to create commands.
Modifications to the command format cause existing keypad commands to behave
differently.
C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide Chapter 3 205
EFTA01224846
Keypad Command Format
Example Formats
the following examples show keypad commands that use:
■ Command Code only
■ Command Code with Prompt 1
■ Command Code with Prompt 1 and Prompt 2
Command Code Only
The Keypad Command in this example uses a Command Code format to ann and disarm an intrusion zone.
The format is configured as follows:
Command Code: 9
Prompt 1 Code: 0
Prompt 2 Code: 0
■ To ann the intrusion zone, the security personnel press CMD/ENT 100 CMD/ENT.
■ To disarm the intrusion zone, security personnel enter CMD/ENT 101 CMD/ENT.
C•CURE 9000 automatically pads the unused portion of the command field to conform to the nine-digit command
code format:
000000100, 000000101
Security personnel need enter only the command portion of this field.
Command Code with Prompt 1
The Keypad Commands in this example ann and disarm Intrusion Zones on two floors. The Prompt 1 code expects
security personnel to enter the code for the Intrusion Zone floor.
The format is configured as follows:
Command Code: 6
Prompt 1 Code: 3
Prompt 2 Code: 0
■ To ann a zone, the security personnel enter CMD/ENT 200 CMD/ENT.
■ When the reader displays the Prompt 1 message "ENTER ACCESS", personnel enter 1 or 2, the code indicating
the first or the second floor.
■ To disarm the zone, security personnel enter CMD/ENT 300 CMD/ENT.
■ When the reader displays the Prompt 1 message "ENTER ACCESS", personnel enter 1 or 2, the code indicating
the first or the second floor.
C•CURE 9000 automatically pads the unused portion of the command field and prompt fields to conform to the six-
digit and three-digit requirements:
000200, 001 or 002
Security personnel need enter only the non-zero portions of the command
206 Chapter 3 C•CURE 9000 Areas and Zones User Guide
EFTA01224847
Keypad Command Formal
Command Code with Prompt 1 and Prompt 2
'the Keypad Commands in this example turn lights on and off on two floors. The Prompt 1 and Prompt 2 code
expect security personnel to enter the codes for the floor and light numbers.
The format is configured as follows:
Command Code: 3
Prompt 1 Code: 3
Prompt 2 Code: 3
■ To toggle on/off, the security personnel enter CMD/ENT 1 CMD/ENT or CMD/ENT 2 CMD/ENT.
■ When the reader displays the prompt 1 message "ENTER ACCESS", personnel enter 1 or 2, the code indicating
the first or the second floor.
■ When the reader displays the prompt 2 message "ENTER TARGET", personnel enter the room number of the
light.
C•CURE 9000 pads the unused portion of the command field and prompt fields to conform to the three-digit
requirement:
001 or 002, 001 or 002, 056.
Security personnel need enter only the non-zero portions of the command.
Defining Keypad Command Formats
To Define Keypad Command Formats
1. In the Administration Station, on the Options & Tools pane, select System Variables.
2. On the General tab, expand the iSTAR Driver category.
3. Scroll down to locate the "Maximum Length of Command Code in Keypad entry" system variable in the Name
column.
This is the first of the three Keypad Command Format system variables, as shown in Figure 50 on Page 208.
