Override Triggers

To override a trigger for a person within a unit we start by navigating to the "Units" page from the side menu - ORGANISATION > UNITS

For ease of use, we have designed and developed two individual views to suit your preferences being a GRID and a LIST view as indicated below.

To allow users to navigate and operate the user-interface quickly and more efficiently, we have enabled shortcuts on both views.

Let's go through how to override a trigger for a person in a unit using the GRID view.

1: First, navigate to the unit in which you want to override a trigger and click on the Authenticators (door) icon as indicated below. This will open the Authenticators pop-up.

2: Navigate to the authenticator you would like to override and click the associated override icon as indicated below. This will open the "Override authenticator" pop-up.

3: Select the "Device" and "Trigger name" from the dropdown menus and then click the "+ADD OVERRIDE" button to continue.

4: A confirmation alert will pop-up prompting if the user would like to override the default trigger configuration. Click "Yes" to continue.

5: The override trigger configuration will be added to the table as indicated below where the user can modify the triggers as desired. Users can edit the Triggers OVERRIDE TIME GRID, OVERRIDE QUALIFIER and OVERRIDE RELAY from the dropdown menus. A user can also remove a Trigger by simply clicking REMOVE OVERRIDE ICON. Once completed and happy, click the "SAVE" button to apply the changes and close the pop-up.

Congratulations! You have successfully overridden a trigger for a person in a unit!

Notes:

For CLI to work the telephone number must be loaded on the website.
If the incoming call is set to "Latch relay" and CLI is set to on, the trigger will follow what is setup under trigger configuration.
If the incoming call is set to "Latch relay" and CLI is set to off, the trigger will activate the configured relay in the components setting.
For trigger type PIN and TAP, there are extra configuration settings found under the "Component" setting for devices.
Intercom keypad and Channel A are by default TAP (Incoming) channels.
Channel B is by default TAPEX (outgoing) channel.
Channel A and B, if configured, will override the relay defined in the trigger setting.
Channel A and B are configured in "Device → Quick Action → Components→ TAPEX 1".
If TAP is not enabled, Channel A and Channel B are set by default to 'None'.
PIN 2 trigger must first be defined otherwise the PIN 2 input box is not displayed in the Unit configuration screen.
Two or more TAP TAP keypads on the same channel cannot trigger different relays.
Two or more TAP TAP keypads with different configured ID's on the same channel are able to trigger different relays.
TAP TAP keypads can have the same ID.
TAP TAP keypads with the same ID on different channels cannot trigger different relays.
The FRX relay is located in the TAP TAP keypad housing.
Selecting the FRX relay on Comb Portal Website disables the intercom relays.
The FRX relay will always be triggered if a valid PIN, TAP, and TAPEX code is entered on the TAP TAP keyboard.
The FRX relay cannot be triggered by a valid DTMF, remote, CLI, or PIN/TAP's code entered on the intercom keypad.

Version 2.0.1 TAP TAP firmware

From this version, the TAP TAP keypad can be programmed with an ID. See TAP TAP Installer Guide for instructions on how to program the keypad with an ID.
