MA5800 - It is needed to understand whether the CCU will allow the door control to be remotely managed

Issue Description

Huawei MA5800 - We will need to understand whether the CCU will allow the door control to be remotely managed, meaning that we are able (from a remote location) release the door control of outdoor cabinets to provide access to on-site personnel, as opposed to only using electronic door cards.

We wish to understand if this is supported since we do not see this referenced in the documentation for the CCU.


Handling Process

A cabinet security system mainly includes an electronic door lock, a door status sensor, an infrared sensor, and an audio alarm device. Cabinet security includes electronic door lock management and audio alarm reporting. 

  •  Electronic door lock management 

− Access of at most three electronic compartment door locks 

− Remote unlocking on the NMS and near-end unlocking using a card. 

− Storage of at most 1000 permission records with two permission setting modes (by start/end time and by time period). 

− Support for a temporary access card. During deployment, if several locks to be managed are configured, a temporary access card using a fixed ID can be used to unlock a door. Once permissions are set, the temporary card becomes invalid. − Unlocking record retrieval. Unlocking records can be recorded at a basis of an engineer, site, compartment door, or time. A maximum of 50 unlocking records are supported. A complete unlocking record includes a door opening action and a corresponding door closing action. 

− Door unlocking event (using a card) reporting and lock status change event reporting. These events can be exported from the NMS.

  • Audio alarm reporting 

Audio alarm reporting associates with unlocking information, a door status alarm, or infrared detection of a moving object to deter thefts onsite. 

− Normal door unlocking using a card does not trigger an audio alarm. If a door stays in open state after a specified period, an alarm is reported. This period is configurable and defaults to 30 minutes.  

− There is an association among a door lock, its door status sensor, and its infrared sensor. This association does not take effect on a door lock whose communication is abnormal.  

− To trigger an infrared sensor alarm or door status alarm, enable the related door status sensor and infrared sensor alarms. If they are not enabled, the related sensors are not associated with a door lock. 

 − Multiple locks are associated with one audio alarming device. If any compartment door meets alarm conditions, an audio alarm is reported. If any compartment door is unlocked using a card, the reported audio alarm is immediately ended.  

− Associating an infrared alarm with an audio alarm aims at preventing a compartment door being forcibly damaged. For example, if an unauthorized person attempts to cut a hole on a compartment door for a theft, an infrared sensor detects a moving person and then produces an infrared alarm. At this time point, the door is locked, which meets audio alarm conditions. In this way, a three-dimension anti-theft scenario is constructed.  

− To prevent lasting alarm voice interference when audio alarm conditions are met, the audio alarm duration and muting during can be set so that an audio alarm is reported for a period and then muted for a period.
