Door Controller Custom Configurations

Through the VTS Rise platform, we are able to configure how a door is unlocked and how how long the door can remained unlocked. In this article, you will learn how to add custom configurations to your door controller such as:
  1. Allowing staff and residents to unlock the door from any location.
  2. Change the length of time the door remains unlocked after the unlock trigger happens.
  3. Restrict the door from being unlocked on certain days/times.

Allow the Door to be Unlocked by Staff or Residents from any Location

Using a VTS Rise Door Controller, you can allow your staff and residents the ability to unlock the door with or without being in the presence of a Beacon using LTE or Wifi.

This means your staff and resident will be able to unlock the door from any location, whether they are at the property or not.

Step 1
Upon logging into the Admin Portal, select Advanced and then Hardware.



Step 2
Select Edit to the right of the door controller name you wish to allow staff and residents to be able to unlock. 



Step 3
Select the radio box: Allow door to be unlocked without beacon presence?



Step 4
Select Submit.

Change the Length of Time in which the Door Remains Unlocked 

After a door is triggered to unlock by a visitor pass, resident QR Code, Mobile, or Door Access, the door will remain unlocked for a specified time to allow the individual to open the unlocked door in time before the door locks again. Default configuration setting by VTS Rise is set for: 10 seconds, if you would like to change that, please follow the below steps.

Step 2
Select Edit to the right of the door controller name you wish to change the unlock time.
