Cloud Nodes

Introduction

Cloud nodes acts as gateways to the PDK cloud platform. One or more cloud nodes can be synced with a system, and each cloud node usually represents a distinct geographic location. You can learn more about the PDK topology here. Note that the API sometimes refers to cloud nodes as panels.

Property	Type	Description
`id`	String	The cloud node ID.
`name`	String	The cloud node name.
`description`	String	The cloud node description.
`created`	String	An ISO 8601 timestamp representing the time at which the cloud node was registered.
`serialNumber`	String	The cloud node serial number.
`ecards`	Integer[]	An array of emergency card (e-card) numbers.
`offlinePolicy`	Integer	How the cloud node behaves if it's offline and unable to acquire the current time. `0` means only users with e-cards will be allowed, `1` means only users with 24×7 access will be allowed, and `2` means all users with credentials will be allowed, regardless of the time (i.e. schedules will be ignored).
`killTimer`	Integer	The amount of time (in seconds) the cloud node is allowed to remain offline before reverting to emergency card (e-card) access only.
`timezone`	String	The cloud node time zone in TZ notation.
`locale`	String	An ISO 639-1 language code representing the preferred language for the cloud node.
`cardFormat`	Object[]	An array of allowed card formats.
`cardFormat.id`	String	The card format ID.
`cardFormat.description`	String	The card format description.
`cardFormat.min_input_bits`	Integer	The minimum number of bits allowed in the data packet transmitted by the reader.
`cardFormat.max_input_bits`	Integer	The maximum number of bits allowed in the data packet transmitted by the reader.
`cardFormat.facility_code`	String	How facility codes are enforced. `ENFORCED` means facility codes are enforced on a per-credential basis, `FILTER_LIST` means only the facility codes specified in the `allowed_facility_codes` parameter are allowed, and `NOT_ENFORCED` means facility codes are ignored.
`cardFormat.allowed_facility_codes`	Integer[]	An array of allowed facility codes. This only applies if `facility_code` is set to `FILTER_LIST`.
`cardFormat.enforce_parity`	Boolean	Whether credential scans are denied if their parity doesn't match.
`syncStatus.synced`	Boolean	Whether or not the cloud node is synced with the system.
`syncStatus.details.timestamp`	String	An ISO 8601 timestamp representing the last time the cloud node synced with the system.
`syncStatus.details.dataFlowStatus`	String	A description of the sync status. This only applies if `synced` is `false`. Possible values include `Pending`, `Started`, `BlockedByOfflineNode`, and `BlockedByFailure`.
`connectionStatus.connected`	Boolean	Whether or not the cloud node is connected.
`connectionStatus.details.timestamp`	String	An ISO 8601 timestamp representing the last time the connection status was updated.

info

If a cloud node is offline but no changes have been made to the system since the last sync, then syncStatus.synced will still be true even if connectionStatus.connected is false.
