Time schedules are assigned to access groups to determine the hours in which cardholders are able to gain access. They are also used in Auto Unlock Schedules (AUL). AUL schedules are assigned to doors to determine when the door should automatically unlock and then re-lock again.

Time Schedule Limitations

When using Visual Doors, multiple hardware platforms are supported (except when using the Neutron controller type). Otherwise you can use any combination of the following hardware types:

1. PXL controllers
   
2. Entraguard controllers
   
3. Standard NXT controllers
   
4. NXT-MSC (Mercury Security) controllers.
   

When using a combination of different hardware types the Visual Doors software will limit itself to the 'lowest common denominator' - for example, if your system uses PXL and NXT-MSC controllers then Visual Doors will be limited to the values imposed on the PXL hardware type.
