How To Setup an Interlock

Procedure Steps

On the access panel under the System Administration > Options tab, enable Store Area anti-passback location.
Create and configure areas through System Administration > Access Control > Areas.
Click Add and then provide a Name.
Select the Interlock all doors in area checkbox for each area configured for the interlock, including:
- The area prior to entering the interlock area
- The interlock area
- The area entered once you leave the interlock area
In System Administration >Access Control > Readers and Doors, assign this area as the Area entering drop-down for all doors leading into the area the interlock is protecting.
Select the reader and then select the Anti-Passback tab to configure the Area entering and Area leaving fields.
You can select any of the following options in the Area leaving drop-down: <Don't Care> (always an available option) or any created area listed that is not the protected area.
