Time & Attendance - In this mode the Thor Terminal is used for Time and Attendance Purposes only. Access control groups and schedules will not be sent to the Thor Terminal. Internal relays on the Thor Terminal will not activate with successful employee authentication. The Access / Punch function will not display on the menu of the Thor Terminal in this mode even if it is assigned to a function key.
Access Control - In this mode the Thor Terminal is used for Access Control Purposes only. Time and Attendance punches will not be recorded when employees authenticate at the reader. As employees successfully authenticate an Access Control Log entry will be created and attached door(s) will unlock. The Access / Punch function will not display on the menu of the Thor Terminal in this mode even if it is assigned to a function key.
Time & Attendance And Access Control - In this mode the Thor Terminal is used for Time And Attendance purposes by default. Employees who simply place their finger on the terminal or swipe their badge will punch for Time And Attendance. Alternatively employees may also use the Access Control Function Key (F2 by Default) for access control purposes. In this way an entryway attached to the Thor terminal will unlock upon successful authentication. This mode is most suitable for controlling access to entryways that will be used throughout the day. IE: Access to a Server Room or Storage Area.
