Chapter 6 Anti-Passback The Anti-Passback is used to ensure one-card and one-way access into and then out of a controlled area. This function prevents users from passing their cards back to a second person to gain entry into the same controlled area. Depending on the number of controllers and communication link, there are three types of Anti-Passback operations: Anti-Passback, Local Anti-Passback and Global Anti-Passback.
6 6.1 Anti-Passback Anti-Passback Anti-Passback is used on one controller only. For this application, select Local Anti-Passback at the Door tab of the Controller Setup dialog box. Figure 6-1 To reset Anti-Passback on GV-ASManager or GV-ASRemote, right-click the Host or Controller icon on the Controller window (Figure 3-3) and select Reset Anti-Passback.
6.2 Local Anti-Passback Local Anti-Passback is used on multiple controllers which are associated with network connections. Before you start, the following conditions must be true: • The communication mode between GV-ASManager and the controller is Ethernet. • LAN environment is applied. Here we will explain how to combine three controllers together to operate the Anti-Passback (APB) function. Since Anti-Passback is performed in a network connection, every controller has a unique IP address.
6 Anti-Passback To configure Anti-Passback for the three Controllers: 1. Access the Function Configuration page of the Controller No. 1 Web interface. In the Series Function (APB & Fire) section, select Enable and enter Info IP that is the IP address of Controller No. 2, e.g. 192.168.0.12. Figure 6-2 2. Access the Function Configuration page of the Controller No. 2 Web interface. In the Series Function (APB & Fire) section, select Enable and enter Info IP that is the IP address of Controller No. 3, e.g.
6.3 Global Anti-Passback Global Anti-Passback can not only prevent the use of a card to gain successive entries, but track the user around the site. The diagram below shows a typical site controlled by access control. The following sections will guide you through the steps you would need to go through to configure this site for Global Anti-Passback.
6 6.3.2 Anti-Passback Step 2: Configuring Areas This step is to define the Entry and Exit areas for each door and name the areas properly. • On the menu bar, click Setup and select Areas. This dialog box appears. Figure 6-4 Enter to is the area where you enter by accessing the Entry reader. Exit to is the area where you exit to by accessing the Exit reader.
To define readers, go to the Web interface of the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller, and in the left menu, click Wiegand Setting for Wiegand readers or Extended Reader for RS-485 / TCP/IP readers. In the example below, Wiegand reader A (Entry) goes from Outside to Reception, Wiegand reader B (Exit) goes from Reception to Outside and etc. Figure 6-5 6.3.4 Step 4: Configuring Door Contacts This step is to define the door contact sensor for each door.
6 6.3.5 Anti-Passback Step 5: Locating Users To locate a user, select Monitoring on the menu bar and select New Locate Person. When the Exit or Entry reader is triggered, the GV-ASManager can tell if users follow Anti-Passback rules and then grand or deny access. When the door contact sensor is triggered, the GV-ASManager can tell the location of the user.

18 Troubleshooting Chapter 18 Troubleshooting Q1: GV-ASManager cannot connect to GV-AS / GV-EV Controller over the Internet. There are several causes for this problem such as IP address conflict, incorrect connection settings and network failure. The following solution is to assign the fixed IP to the GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV Controller respectively. This way can determine if the problem is caused by the faulty devices and incorrect network settings. 1.
4. Open the browser and enter the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller default address: http://192.168.0.100 Figure 18-2 5. In the IP address field, give the controller an IP address that is NOT used by another device, e.g. 192.168.0.XXX. 6. On the GV-ASManager, enter the following settings: Controller ID: 1 Network: TCP/IP IP: 192.168.0.
18 Troubleshooting 7. The connection between the GV-ASManager and the controller should be established, and the connection icon should appear. If disconnection happens after you connect the hub or switch to the network, then it should be other network problems. Please contact your network administrator. Q2: The connection established between the GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV Controller is interrupted. This may be due to IP address conflict. Follow these steps to troubleshoot the problem: 1.
Password: admin Crypto key: 12345678 8. The connection between the GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV Controller should be established, and the connection icon should appear. If disconnection happens after you connect the hub or switch to the network, then it should be other network problems. Please contact your network administrator. Q3: GV-ASManager cannot receive card messages but the reader accepts the card when the connection between the GV-ASManager and GV-AS / GV-EV Controller is well established.
18 Troubleshooting Q6: The GV-ASManager cannot receive card messages from the GV-Reader connected to the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller through RS-485 interface. 1. Make sure the GV-Reader is correctly wiring to the controller and Switch 4 on the GV-Reader is set to OFF. 2. Make sure the correct GV-Reader ID is set on the controller. Q7: I can’t change the Advanced Settings on the Web interface of the GV-AS / GV-EV Controller. The “Submit” button is missing.
