The Interlock Function in iProtect is an essential security feature designed to enhance access control in secure areas. This function ensures that only one door within a specified reader group can be open at any given time, thereby preventing unauthorized access. By restricting the opening of multiple doors in a group, the interlock function provides an additional layer of security, making it particularly valuable for locations with stringent access requirements, such as data centers, laboratories, and high-security facilities.

When the interlock function is activated, if one door in the reader group is open, all other doors in that group will automatically lock, and the LEDs of the other readers will blink red and green. This configuration not only safeguards against unauthorized entry but also clearly indicates when one of the doors in the group is already open.

Before turning on the interlock function, make sure the following requirements are met:
Administrative Rightsrights: Only users with proper access rights can adjust reader groups.
Supported Readersreaders: All readers in the interlock group must be connected to the same controller (and be on the same line).
Door Contactscontacts: Each door in the reader group must have a magnetic door contact. This contact provides feedback to the system on whether a door is open or closed, which is needed for the interlock function to work.
