How to configure Global AntiPassback Controller (GAC) settings in xPortalNet Server

Description:

A guide to configure Global AntiPassback Controller (GAC) settings in xPortalNet Server.

Global AntiPassback feature allows the software to enforce AntiPassback in the global network (across different controllers connected in the same network).

When enabled, AntiPassback prevents a card user from gaining two successive accesses in the same direction without gaining access in the opposite direction first. AntiPassback therefore prevents double entry or exit access through a door or area for the same card access.


Note

XP-SNET-GAC controller is only supported for LAN Network Communications only.
