10. Under Action on Access, you have two options:

• Unlock door: If you use a conventional request-to-exit button that directly controls power to the lock, select this option. When triggered, the request-to-exit button will unlock the door immediately.
• Enable unlock: If your request-to-exit device signals the Kisi Controller to control power to the lock (e.g., a motion sensor), select this option. This setting suppresses any "forced open" events for the selected duration. The actual unlock will be controlled by the Kisi Controller, not the request-to-exit device itself.

11. Under End of Line Type section, specify the desired end-of-line status that you want Kisi to detect:

• Cut detect: Detects if the wiring is cut.
• Short detect: Detects if the wiring is shorted.
• Cut and short detect: Detects both cut and shorted wiring scenarios.

12. Enable the toggle
13. Click Save

Cut/short detections will be displayed as Controller tampered events under Event history.

You can anytime disable your request-to-exit devices using the same Hardware tab.
