Health Check Responses

The Health Check QR must be shown to the device when it is in commissioning mode (that is, the Device has been installed and is showing a Yellow LED). The device will respond in one of two ways:

Flow diagrams

Commissioning

When first recieving a new XS4 Face Device, it will be in commissioning mode. In this mode, it is waiting to be paired to a door through the XS4 Face Console. Installers can use the health check QR code, provided through the XS4 Face Console, to check that XS4 Face Devices have been installed correctly without the need for a server present.

Decommissioning

When the XS4 Face Device receives the message from the server to unpair from a door, it is decommissioning. This will return the Device from recognition to commissioning mode.

Recognition

Under normal operation, the XS4 Face Device is in recognition mode, during which it is waiting for the proximity sensor to detect a presence and then perform access requests to the XS4 Face Server with pictures taken from its camera.

QR reset

The QR reset mode is a backup reset process in the event that the server is not available to initiate decommissioning. The unique flashing light sequence in conjunction with the QR codes provided by the console prove the resetter's legitimacy and will revert the Device back into commissioning mode when it is completed.
