3. Setup the BioStar System 3. In the lift tree, select a device or devices by clicking the checkboxes next to device names. 4. Click Apply to send the elevator settings to the selected devices. 3.5 Setup Zones BioStar allows you to provide sophisticated access control with multiple zones. Zones can be used to control the behavior of devices, doors, and other components. In addition, zones can be configured to provide different types of restrictions, such as anti-passback, timed anti-passback, and entrance limits. The sections below describe how to determine which zones to use and how to add and configure zones. 3.5.1 Determine Which Zones to Use In total, the BioStar system supports seven types of zones:  Access zone: Use this zone to synchronize user or log information. If you select the user synchronization option, user data enrolled at the devices will be automatically propagated to other connected devices. If you select the log synchronization option, all log records will be written to the master device (in addition to the server), so that you can check log records of member devices. For information about customizing access zones, see section 5.3.5.  Anti-passback zone: Use this zone to prevent a user from passing his or her card back to another person or using his or her fingerprint to allow someone else to gain entry. The zone supports two types of anti-passback restrictions: soft and hard. When a user violates the anti-passback protocol, the soft restriction will record the action in the user's log. The hard restriction will deny access and record the event in the log when the anti-passback protocol is violated. For information about customizing anti-passback zones, see section 5.3.1. 68 Copyright ©2014, Suprema Inc. On the web: www.supremainc.com
