Sometimes, the Anti-Passback status doesn't show the actual status when a user does not actually enter the gate after successful authentication.

BioStar 2 has an additional option using the door status(Door sensor) to show the actual Anti-Passback status. 

With the option enabled, your Anti-Passback zone considers two factors: 1. Authentication, 2. Door sensor.


Attention

  • To use this feature, you must match the BioStar 2 server and device firmware versions.
  • BioStar 2 Version : V2.8.3 or later

1. How to enable the door status-based APB?


i) Door setting

  • A door sensor is necessary
  • Enable the option 'User sensor when Entry Confirmed APB enabled' (Default is off)


ii) APB zone setting

The Anti-passback status can follow the rule for each door based on the option 'Entry Confirmed APB.'


2. How differently does it work when the option is enabled or disabled? 


Device 1 with 'Use Sensor when Entry Confirmed APB enabled' ON

The APB alert is not triggered even when you authenticate without the exit door authentication until the door is opened/closed.



Device 2 with 'Use Sensor when Entry Confirmed APB enabled' OFF

The APB alert is triggered even if your door is not opened.
