Create time group

As a general rule, the following applies: All settings in a time group apply to each schedule.

You can choose from one of the three modes for each schedule within a time group:

Access

All identification media in this time group are authorised for all locking devices in this schedule as specified in the matrix or authorisation groups.

Access corresponds to a time limit that permits use between 0-24 hours every day (i.e. it is effectively not a limit at all); see screenshot:

If you try to save this time limit in this way, the AXM Lite automatically changes the mode to Zeitplan Zeitgruppe Modus: Berechtigt [offen].

Not authorised

No identification media in this time group are authorised for any of the locking devices in this schedule, even if they were authorised in the matrix.

Not authorised corresponds to a time limit that does not allow use on any day (i.e. effectively restricted at all times); see screenshot:

Limit times

All identification media in this time group are authorised for all locking devices in this schedule as specified in the matrix or authorisation groups if one of the configured time intervals applies.

The sophisticated concept of time intervals and days also allows you to combine intervals and days, for example:

More information; see Time groups and schedules.

The Special day checkbox is used for public holidays. You can specify public holidays and treat them either as a weekday or a special day. If the current date is a public holiday and this public holiday is to be treated as a special day, then the time group’s special day rule applies (see Creating and editing public holidays).

You can create and configure time groups using the schedule window:

  1. AXM Lite open.
  2. Schedule created (see Creating a schedule).
  3. Schedule window open (see Creating a schedule).
  1. Click the button (except if you are reconfiguring the automatically created time group).
  2. New time group is now created.
  3. Enter a name for the time group in the Name field.
  4. Select Limit times mode.
  6. If you wish to use this time group for PIN code keypads: Activate the For PIN code keypad checkbox.

  7. NOTE

    Time groups for PIN code keypads

    PIN code keypads use the G1 protocol. This is why PIN code keypads require their own time groups. These time groups can also only be used for PIN code keypads.

    If you have not activated the PIN code keypad in your locking system at all (see Enabling PIN code keypads), then the For PIN code keypad checkbox does not exist.

    Time groups that have already been created cannot be subsequently used for PIN code keypads.

  8. Activate the days for the first time interval (checkboxes Mo Tu, We, Th, , Fr, Sa, Su and Special day).
  11. Set the time for the selected days.
  13. First time interval defined.
  14. Click on the button to display further time intervals if required.
  16. Click on the Finish button or create additional time groups with the button if required.
  1. Time group is created and configured for the currently selected schedule.

NOTE

notice

Configure new time groups for other schedules

Time groups are global. A newly created time group therefore also exists in all other schedules. For security reasons, all time groups in a new schedule are assigned Not authorised mode by default.

  1. After creating a time group, switch to the other schedules and configure the time group in them as well.
  2. Obviously, you can also create several time groups and not configure them in the other time groups until after.
