Feature Overview

The Roll Call & Fire Muster feature in Airfob Pro allows organizations to track which employees have safely exited a building during an emergency. By setting up muster points and using the Airfob Pro app, administrators can quickly account for all users and generate roll call history reports.




Setting Up Muster Points

A muster point is a designated area where users can tap their credentials to mark themselves as safe during an emergency.

  1. Go to Advanced > Roll Call in the Airfob Pro portal.
  2. Click Add Muster Point.
  3. Enter a Name (e.g., "East Parking Lot").
  4. Enter an optional Description (e.g., "Third pillar in the parking structure").
  5. Add devices:
    • Click Add Device to assign a specific reader.
    • Alternatively, select a Device Group to include multiple muster point readers.
  6. Add user groups:
    • Select User Groups that should report to this muster point.
    • Click Add after each selection.
  7. Click Save to finalize the muster point setup.

Best Practices for Muster Points

  • Use device groups instead of individual devices to allow multiple muster points.
  • Ensure that only relevant users are assigned to specific muster points, especially in large campuses with multiple buildings.
  • Airfob Edge Readers support both mobile and card authentication, while Airfob Tag and Airfob Patch require mobile credentials.


Starting a Roll Call in the Airfob Pro App

To initiate a roll call using the Airfob Pro mobile app:

  1. Open the Airfob Pro app.
  2. Go to All Menu > Roll Call (under Advanced Features).
  3. Press Roll Call Start.
  4. The system will display a list of all users currently on-site.

Marking Users Safe

Users can mark themselves safe by:

  • Tapping their credential at an assigned muster point.
  • Administrators manually marking users safe by pressing and holding the Checkmark button next to their name.

Tracking Roll Call Progress

  • Users can be filtered by their Muster Group.
  • The search function allows finding specific individuals.
  • The roll call is complete when:
    • All users are marked safe.
    • An administrator manually marks all users as safe.
    • 24 hours pass without completion.


Viewing Roll Call History

To check past roll calls:

  1. Go to Roll Call in the Airfob Pro portal.
  2. Click the History tab.
  3. Select a completed roll call to view:
    • A list of all logged access events during the roll call.
    • Details on whether users were marked safe or unaccounted for.
    • Time of roll call initiation and completion.


Key Considerations

  • Ensure muster points are properly assigned to user groups to prevent confusion.
  • Test the Roll Call feature regularly to ensure smooth operation in case of an actual emergency.
  • Access logs can be used to verify attendance for compliance with safety regulations.
