IntelliDoor Bollard

The IntelliDoor Bollard, originally the RamBlocker, is an electromechanical retractable bollard used for vehicle access control, similar to a gate but allows pedestrians through.

Setup

1. Rez the bollard and position it. If you are setting up a series of bollards, only rez one and set it up first. While the bollard is modify, do not link, unlink, resize, or edit the parts or it may not work.
2. Rez a Button if you want one and position it. It can be retextured and resized if necessary, but we recommend leaving it as it is. You don't need a Button; clicking the bollard itself will operate it as well (but only one at a time).
3. Open the _config notecard in the bollard and button. For more information on the _config values, read the sections labeled "CONFIG VALUES". For now, change the bollard ID and make sure it is the same in all notecards.
4. If you are setting up a series of bollards, select the one you have configured, hold Shift, and drag the editing arrow in the direction you want. This will make a copy of the bollard. Repeat until you have enough. The _config notecards will all have the same values as the original one.
5. If you want autoraise, we recommend rezzing the Sensor, then positioning it around the bollard. If you have a series of bollards, stretch it so it covers all of them. You may also want to stretch it vertically, as clicking the sensor will also activate all bollards. Again, you do not need a Sensor, but it makes the bollard much safer and avoids crushing cars.
6. Test the bollard by clicking the green "OPEN/RAISE" button (or if you don't have a button, just the bollard or sensor). If you have autoraise enabled, stand on top of the bollard and see if it raises (it shouldn't for at least 60 seconds).

Autoraise

The IntelliDoor Bollard has an autoraise feature set up in the _config notecard of each bollard. To enable it, set the AUTORAISE value greater than 0 (we recommend at least 10). If you are using a Sensor, make sure it has the same bollard ID in its _config notecard.
When your bollard lowers, it will wait the number of seconds in AUTORASE, then automatically raise. However, if there is something blocking the bollard, it will wait until the path becomes unobstructed (or 60 seconds after the last object crosses it) then raise.

Bollard Config Values

• ID: This is the bollard's identifier. Each bollard, or series of bollards operating simultaneously, should have a separate ID. The ID can be any alphanumeric string (A-Z, 0-9, space). All IntelliDoor components are owner-only so don't worry about conflicting IDs from other people.
• STEPS: This is the movement steps value. This can be 1-16, 16 being the smoothest. The default is 8. If you are experiencing slow operation due to lag (especially in homesteads), it might help to lower the movement steps.
• ACCESS: This is the base access setting. If the bollard is locked (which it is by default), these people can always access it anyway by clicking on it. Can be "Everyone", "Group", or "Owner". (If you put "Group" here, the bollard's group will be able to click the bollard or sensor to use it, but they won't be able to use any buttons or controllers unless you also set them to "Group".)
• UNLOCKABLE: This should be left as "Yes" unless, for some reason, you don't want this bollard to be unlocked at all (then change it to "No"). Bollards can only be unlocked using an IntelliDoor Controller Add-On, sold separately. Unlocking a bollard allows anyone to use it by clicking on it or the sensor that surrounds it - for example, if you wanted a keypad-operated bollard, anyone could enter the correct password then open the bollard manually (although it is also possible for the keypad to automatically lower the bollard as well - see its user manual for more information).
• AUTORAISE: If you don't want autoraise, leave this as 0. Otherwise, it is the number of seconds the bollard waits until raising automatically. For more info, read "AUTORAISE" above.
• WHITELIST: The list of people that will always be able to click the bollard or sensor to operate it. This does not affect buttons and controllers. Separate with commas.
• BLACKLIST: The list of people that will never be able to click the bollard to operate it. This does not affect buttons and controllers. Separate with commas.
• GSS: If you are using a Global Security Server, enter its name in this field. The IntelliDoor GSS provides a "master" whitelist and blacklist for IntelliDoor components that subscribe to it (for example, if you have a group of bollards that you want a list of people to control). NOTE ON GSS: Bollards will only download data from the GSS when reset. You must reset all bollards after changing the GSS's configuration.

NOTE ON NAMES: The IntelliDoor system v2.1 and above uses usernames (e.g. "nelson.jenkins" or "newusername") - NOT old-style names ("Nelson Jenkins" or "newusername Resident") and NOT display names ("Nelson the Magnificent" or "New User"). Separate values with commas (nelson.jenkins, newusername, etc.). Entries here are not case-sensitive.

Button Config Values

• ID: Put the bollard IDs you want to control here. If you are only controlling one bollard or one group of bollards with the same ID, just put that bollard's ID. If you have more than one bollard/group you want to control at the same time, separate their IDs with commas.
• ACCESS: This is the base access setting for this button only. This is the same as the door's access settings, except it affects the button only. (If you put "Group" here, the button's group will be able to use the button to use the bollard, but not the bollard directly by clicking it or the sensor.)
• WHITELIST: This is the same as the bollard's whitelist, but again, only affects the button.
• BLACKLIST: This is the same as the bollard's blacklist, but again, only affects the button.
• GSS: This is the same as the bollard's GSS name, but only affects the button.

Sensor Config Values

• SHOW: Set this to "No" once you are done positioning the sensor. When set to "Yes", the sensor will be made visible and will show instructions on how to set it up.
• ID: Put the bollard's ID here. Use only one sensor per bollard (or group of bollards under the same ID), and one bollard/group per sensor.

Resetting Bollards

You can reset a bollard by editing it and going to Tools -> Reset Scripts in Selection. MAKE SURE the bollard is raised before resetting it.

Builder Kit Instructions

ATTENTION USERS OF THE BUILDER KIT VERSIONS: THIS IS IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ
Your use of transfer-enabled products is bound by our Full Permissions Agreement. If you haven't read it, it's important you do so.
Most importantly, we keep track of who has purchased the Builder Kit. If someone has a transferable IntelliDoor but has not bought the Builder Kit, that door will not function, and their use of it will be recorded. If you are found to be giving out transferable IntelliDoors, you will be backtraced by the cyber police, and consequences will never be the same.

Therefore, make sure you set the door object to NO TRANSFER and the script inside it to NO TRANSFER before distributing it. However, leave the notecard FULL PERMISSIONS or it will break the script. Otherwise, you are risking both your license to use our products and your reputation with your customers, who will be left with prefabs that have their doors break when rezzed.
Please note in your product description that the bollards will conflict if multiple copies of the same prefab are rezzed in the same region. If more than one are rezzed, they will have to be manually reconfigured.
