APB zone based on the door status(Door sensor)

Sometimes Anti-Passback status doesn't show the actual status when a user does not actually enter the gate after successful authentication.
BioStar 2 has an additional option using the door status(Door sensor) to show the actual Anti-Passback status.
With the option enabled, your Anti-Passback zone considers two factors; 1. Authentication, 2. Door sensor.


  • To use this feature, you need to match both BioStar 2 server version and device firmware version.
  • BioStar 2 Version : V2.8.3 or later
  • Star-marked versions(*) are released in 2020 3Q. (July 29, 2020)

New devices support this feature:
  • FaceStation F2 FW 1.0.0 or above with BioStar V2.8.6 or above
  • X-Station 2 FW 1.0.0 or above with BioStar V2.8.11 or above


How to enable the door-status-based APB?

i) Door setting

  • Door sensor is necessary
  • Enable the option 'User sensor when Entry Confirmed APB enabled' (Default is off)


ii) APB zone setting

  • The Anti-passback status can follow the rule for each door based on the option 'Entry Confirmed APB'



How differently does it work when the option is enabled & disabled?

Device 1 with 'Use Sensor when Entry Confirmed APB enabled' ON The APB alert is not triggered even when you authenticate without the exit door authentication until the door opened/closed.
Device 2 with 'Use Sensor when Entry Confirmed APB enabled' OFF The APB alert is triggered even if your door was not opened.
