Device, Timer
A device whose input is a schedule and that has 0 to N output points associated with it. The timer's state is On
during the times selected in its schedule; otherwise it is Off. The device can have these behaviors: Latch,
Unlatch, Pulse, or Follow.
Device, Valid Credential
A device whose input is a card reader and that has 0 to N output points associated with it. A valid credential
device has no state, so its behaviors are limited to: Latch, Unlatch, and Pulse. Valid credential devices have
permissions associated with them and appear in the group permissions area. Valid credential devices do not
have Disengage messages because they do not have state, nor do they have schedules.
Device, Event Track
A device whose input is the specific event associated with it from the door that the event track device is
created to watch. An event track device can have 0 to N outputs associated with it. The device can always have
these behaviors: Latch, Unlatch, or Pulse. If an event track device is watching for Door Ajar events, then it has
state and can have a Follow behavior. If the Follow behavior is selected, then the device can have a Disengage
message. The schedule associated with an event track device defines when it is active because a client might
want to respond to the event differently during business hours than during non-business hours.

descriptive name such as “Lobby Door” or “Server Room.”
