•Disarm alarm panel is a feature that can retrieve and send status messages to supported alarm systems.

•Action on Passback Violation deals with In and Out readers at a portal. If a person attempts to badge out of the facility without badging in, you can have the access level allow and flag the action or deny access.

the customers e-mail server be setup to relay messages from the Network Controller IP Address. This information should be provided to TPB prior to system programming.

04/10/23 32



• The other tabs can be populated if desired. These include Vehicle Information, User-Defined information and other non-system related contact information.
