The APB Areas allow controlling the number of users in the area and denying access when maximal visitors number is reached. The APB Areas can also be used for antipassback (see Configuring antipassback).

Attention!

At least two APB Areas corresponding to entrance and exit areas of the AIM controller are to be configured in the system (see also Configure AIM readers). If just one APB area is configured, the system will lock it when it is filled and it will be impossible to reset the counter. See also Example of APB Areas configuration.

The APB Area is configured on the Apollo APB Area object settings panel, that is created on the basis of the Apollo AAN object on the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box.

APB area is configured as follows:

  1. Go to the Apollo APB Area object settings panel.
  2. In the Number drop-down list, select the APB area number in the controller (1).
  3. In the Connection with Intellect region drop-down list, select the Region object corresponding to this APB Area (2). This Region object is to be set as entrance or exit region of an Apollo AIM reader (see also Configure AIM readers).
  4. In the Initial mode drop-down list, select the initial state of the APB area that will be set when writing configuration to controller: Closed or Opened (3).
  5. In the Mode when zone is closed drop-down list, select access rule for closed APB area, i.e. when maximum number of users in it is exceeded (4).
  6. In the Reader to get into zone when it has "closed" status drop-down list, select corresponding AIM reader (5).
  7. Specify maximum number of people in the area (6).
  8. If two cards are required to enter the zone, set the corresponding checkbox (7).
  9. If users are to be allowed to enter the closed zone if commands are enabled, set the corresponding checkbox (8).
  10. If zone status is to be changed at access if commands are enabled, set the corresponding checkbox (9).
  11. Click Apply (10).
  12. To save the changes to the controller, write configuration to hardware.

Attention!

User counter in zone is reset when configuration is written.
