Send Commands

There are multiple commands that can be sent to readers from the App Bar. A Compile command will need to be sent to your devices when changes are made to users, rules, or access points.

An Admit, Lock Down, Schedule, or Unlocked command can be sent to individual access points, access point groups, or all devices by selecting then “Commands.” See below for more information.

Sending a Compile

When a change that requires a compile is made, the send command button will display a red notification badge.

1. Click from the App Bar
2. Select Compile
3. (optional) Verify compile was sent successfully using a History widget or report

*Note that single changes to a user no longer require a full compile to be sent thus the notification badge will not be displayed.

Sending a compile requires that the web access user has one (or more) of the following permissions:

• User Details Modify
• User Groups Modify
• Access Points Modify
• Access Point Groups Modify
• Weekly Rules Modify
• Holidays & Events Modify

Sending Additional Commands

3. Select the access point(s) you would like to send a command to, then choose the action:

   • Lock Down: locks down the access point or access point group. While in Lock Down mode, access is denied to all users except those whose credentials include the Pass-Through special property.
   • Schedule: places access point into a normal state (following the configured weekly rules)
   • Unlocked: unlocks the access point or access point group
