The selected card formats will be then displayed.

When you show card on a reader then received bits will be compared with the configured card reader’s
configurable bits.
• The card format will be applied to the card whose configurable bits matches with the received bits.
• If a card is detected for which received bits does not match with any of the configured bits then default
format for that card will be used.
• If there are two or more card formats assigned in a device whose configurable bits are same then card
formats based on Format ID will be applied.

Case1: Suppose there are five formats configured for a reader. Formats 3 and 5 have same number of configurable
bits equal to 26 bits.
Now a 26 bit card is shown on reader. Then only format 3 will be applied on the card.

Case 2: Suppose a card format is configured as follows:

Truncate to bits = 24
Read Order = Reverse Bit Wise
Configurable Bits = 26
Sequence of Operation = Bit Configuration then Reading Order
Bit Configuration:
Bit 1: Odd Parity
Bit 2-9: FC

69 Matrix COSEC Panel Lite System Manual

 Bit 10-25: CSN
Bit 26: Even Parity
Now, if a 26 bit card is shown at the reader then as configurable bits are also 26 this format should be applied.
However, after truncation process bits are of 24 bit length. So, last 2 bits (MSB) should be discarded/ ignored in bit
configuration.
After that bit reversal will be done.

Case 3: Suppose a card format is configured as follows:

Truncate to bits = 24
Read Order = Reverse Bit Wise
Configurable Bits = 26
Sequence of Operation = Reading Order then Bit Configuration
Bit Configuration:
Bit 1: Odd Parity
Bit 2-9: FC
Bit 10-25: CSN
Bit 26: Even Parity

Now, if a 26 bit card is shown at the reader then as configurable bits are also 26 this format should be applied.
Now truncated Bits = 24. First 26 bits will be reversed and then bit configuration will be applied for first 24 bits only.
Last 2 bits after reversal will be discarded.

Card Format

All cards store a sequence of numbers which can be read by card reader devices, when a card is swiped. This
unique card number sequence is then verified against a user enrolled on the COSEC access control system to
allow access to the card-holder. Hence, the pattern or structure of this card number must be compatible with the
corresponding card reader format to support identification. This programmable data pattern of a proximity card is
known as its card format.

You can configure upto 9 card profiles.

ID: To configure a card format select the ID number from the grid on right side of the page. This ID will be displayed
here.
Name: Specify a name for the card format.
Read Order: The Read Order parameter indicates the sequence in which the card serial number should be read by
the card reader. You can specify the Read Order as one of the following:
• Forward- This implies that the bits should be processed in the order of their arrival.
• Reverse bitwise- This implies that all incoming bits will be received and then reversed before processing
them further.
• Reverse bytewise- This implies that each incoming byte will be reversed separately and then used for
further processing.

Truncate To (Bits): Specify the maximum number of bits that will be allowed for the format.

79 Matrix COSEC Panel Lite System Manual

Configure (Bits): Specify the number of bits that will be configured in the card structure. If the number of bits
received at the card reader is greater than the number of configured bits, then default card format will be applicable
for the reader.

In the Bit Configuration section, all configurable bits of the card data will appear numerically in a serial order, from
left to right, as boxes.
For eg: If you set Configurable bits as 32, then a grid from 1 to 32 will be created. Here, each box represents a bit.

Sequence of Operation: Select the sequence of operation based on which operation is to be performed first and
then second between Reading Order and Card Format Configuration.
Include FC in Card No.Enable the Include FC in Card No. checkbox to ensure that the Card Number or Card ID
includes Facility Code as well.

You can add Parity and Facility Code to the Card number. For this, In the Color Selection area, click to select the
colour box which represents the bit type to be added to the card number. Then click on the number in the grid
where the selected bit type is to be placed.
For eg: If you select Odd Parity(blue colour) and select 10 and 11 from 32 configurable bits. Then these 2 bits
will be set with Odd parity and rest with card number.

• Avoid Occupancy: Set the occupancy condition using Equal To, Greater Than, Less Than to be avoided
for Monitor Zone2. The user limit can vary from 0 to 999.

127 Matrix COSEC Panel Lite System Manual

Example1:
Let there be two zones,
• Zone 1 - Control Zone - Door V3
• Zone 2 - Monitor Zone - PVR door
Initially occupancy of both the zones is empty.

Access mode of both zones is Entry.

Action - is selected as “Alarm” and Alarm timer is 0 seconds.
Condition - is avoid occupancy equal to 2

When second user comes in monitor zone; he will be access allowed but occupancy will be violated. The
occupancy violated Alarm will be generated when a user tries to access the control zone.

Example2:
Let there be two zones,
• Zone 1 - Control Zone - Door V3
• Zone 2 - Monitor Zone - PVR door
Initially occupancy of both the zones is empty.
Access mode of both zones is Exit.
Action- is selected as “Restrict”.
Condition - is avoid occupancy greater than 1

When second user comes in monitor zone; he will be access allowed but occupancy will be violated. When a user
tries to access the control zone; he will be restricted access due to violation of occupancy in monitor zone.

Matrix COSEC Panel Lite System Manual 128

Example 3:
Let there be two zones,
• Zone 1 - Control Zone - Door V3
• Zone 2 - Monitor Zone - PVR door
Occupancy of both the zones is 4. User1 to User4 in Monitor zone and User 5 to User 8 in control zone. User4 and
User8 are VIP users.

Access mode of both zones is Exit. For this “Access Control on Exit mode” check-box must be enabled for both the
zones from Panel Lite V2> Zones> Setup.

Action - is selected as “Restrict”.

Condition - is avoid occupancy less than 3

• Exit of user1 from monitor zone is allowed. Exit of user2 (normal user) or user4(VIP user) from monitor
zone will be allowed but it violates occupancy.
• Now when user5 tries to exit from the control zone then access will be denied to him. But on the same time
if user8 (VIP user) tries to exit from the control zone then access will be allowed to him.

Example4:
Let there be two zones,
• Zone 1 - Control Zone - Door V3
• Zone 2 - Monitor Zone - PVR door
Initially occupancy of both the zones is empty.
Access mode of both zones is Entry. (Configure Access mode from Panel door> Reader section.)

Access mode- is selected as Entry. This is the access mode of user in control zone (Zone-1) for which the Action
(Alarm/ Restrict) is to be taken.
Action - is selected as “Restrict“. This will restrict the access to the user in control zone if occupancy is violated in
monitor zone.
Condition- is Avoid occupancy equal to 2 in monitor zone-1 (Zone-2)

129 Matrix COSEC Panel Lite System Manual

 • When user1 punches on PVR (zone2), he is access allowed.
• When user2 punches on PVR (zone2), he will also be access allowed.
• But when user3 punches on Door V3 in control zone (zone1), he will be restricted access due to violation
of occupancy =2 in monitor zone (zone2).
• Now when user4 punches on PVR Door in zone2, he will be restricted access as the maximum occupants
limit for zone2 is configured as 2 as shown below and user1 and user2 are already occupied in zone2.

The IN- OUT punches are stored in memory of Panel lite. Re-booting the panel/panel doors will not reset
the occupancy count to zero.
If there are entry punches in a zone so zone will be occupied. There must be exit punch from the reader or
from door in Exit mode to decrease the occupancy from the zone.

Example5:
Consider the above example 4 with change in Action as Alarm.
Action - is selected as “Alarm“. And Alarm Timer as 2 seconds. This will raise the alarm after 2 seconds of user
access in control zone when the occupancy is violated in monitor zone.

• When user1 and user2 punches on PVR door, they will be access allowed.
• But when user3 punches on Door V3 then he will be access allowed but after 2 seconds alarm will be
generated.

Example6:
Let there be 3 zones of Panel lite V2:
• Zone 1 - Control Zone - Door V3
• Zone 2 - Monitor Zone1- PVR Door
• Zone-3- Monitor Zone 2- Door V3-115
Initially occupancy of all the zones is empty. Access mode of all zones is Entry. (Configure Access mode from Panel
doors> Reader section.)

Access mode- is selected as Entry. This is the access mode of user in control zone (Zone-1) for which the Action
(Alarm/ Restrict) is to be taken.
Action - is selected as “Alarm“. And Alarm Timer as 2 seconds. This will raise the alarm after 2 seconds of user
access in control zone when the occupancy is violated in monitor zone.
Condition- For Monitor Zone 1 condition is Avoid occupancy equal to 2. For Monitor Zone 2 condition is Avoid
occupancy greater than 1.
If Check Conditions For is selected as
• Any One Zone then occupancy avoidance condition will be checked for any1 zone. If occupancy is
violated in either of the monitor zone then Alarm will be generated after the duration of Alarm Timer when
the user punches in Control zone.
• If Both Zones is selected then occupancy avoidance condition will be checked for both the zones. And
alarm will be generated in control zone if occupancy is violated in both the monitor zones.

• When user1 punches on Door V3-115 (Zone-3), he is access allowed. When user2 punches on Door V3-
115 (Zone-3), he will be also be access allowed. But this is violating occupancy >1
• Now when user3 punches on Door V3 (Zone-1) then he will be access allowed but after 2 seconds alarm
will be generated.

Similarly if Action= Restrict; then user3 will be access denied on Door V3.
If Check Conditions For = Both Zones, then occupancy in PVR door will also be monitored.

CHAPTER 9 Elevator Access Control &
Multi level Access

Elevator can be considered as doorways to many organizations, buildings and restricted areas. A person accessing
the elevator can gain access to any floor he wishes. Hence, to increase the security and control for different floors
in a building Elevator Access Control feature must be used.

EAC Configuration and Working

Configure Elevator1 with 4 floors and Elevator 2 with 4 floors. Now configure an Elevator group say RnD Elevators
which includes Elevator1 with floor1 and 2 and Elevator2 with floor 3 and 4.

This means using Elevator1 you can access floors1 and 2 and with elevator2 you can access floors 3 and 4.

Now users must be authorized to access the elevators by linking them to the Elevator group. So link the RnD
Elevator group from Users Linking tab by selecting the users from the pick-list. Say user Dinesh is linked to RnD
Elevators.

When the user Dinesh comes in the Elevator1, then he has to punch on the authentication device say Door V3.
Once he is allowed the access to Door V3, the floors of Elevator1 (floor1 and 2)for which he is allowed access will
get enabled. The enabling of floor1 and floor2 is done through the output port of IO controller. Hence he can press
the desired floor button.

The IO controller has 8 output ports which can be linked to 8 floors of an elevator.

If an Output Port is already active with EAC Link and IO LINK is activated having same output port, then
priority must be given to IO LINK and the desired port can be activated as per IO Link. The EAC Link will
be deactivated.

Matrix COSEC Panel Lite System Manual 152

Elevator Configuration

In SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), when a manager requests information; SNMP agent (server)
sends that information to the manager.
Also, an Agent can send Trap messages to the manager without any GetRequest command. In Trap messages
there is no need of acknowledgement.
When specific event occurs; a TRAP or Inform message will be sent to manager from Agent. The message can be
Information, Warning or Error.
This SNMP Configuration page is used for configuring panel lite V2 as an SNMP agent and to create Management
Information Base (MIB) for SNMP.

The 2 components of SNMP are:

1. Management Node (Agent)- Panel lite V2.
2. Management Host (Manager)- Browser which monitors Panel lite V2.
3. Management Information Base (MIB)- Information which is exchanged between Agent and Manager.
