Use System Global Lock/Unlock
System Global Lock and Global Unlock is configured in the standard Doors.NET client. It enables an operator to unlock or lock all doors, or a dedicated group of doors via icons in the Doors.NET client or from a dedicated hardware input. This setting allow you to toggle between whether this feature is enabled or disabled for the controller.
Note: There are limitations with Global Lock/Unlock related to response times when using PXL or Entraguard controllers. These limitations, and further setup instructions are explained in more detail in the standard Doors.NET help file.

Enable the controller to automatically adjust its timestamp for daylight savings (this setting is only supported for the US and Latin America).

Command Hang Up - The phone handset digit, when pressed by the tenant, will hand up the call with the Entraguard.
Display Messages - The LCD display on the Entraguard displays three messages informing a tenant or a guest how to use the telephone entry system. The messages display on-screen one after the other and each message can be edited. By default, each message will display on screen for 10 seconds but this too can be adjusted. To edit the message text, simply overwrite the existing text (highlighted below) and then click the green save icon. The Entraguard, if online will be updated automatically.
