The mode is assigned to the sensor in the device properties in the HW structure. The direction switching mode determines how passage through the reader is recorded at a given time—for example, when one turnstile is used for arrivals in the morning and departures in the afternoon. The mode is assigned to the reader in the device properties in the HW structure. ## Creating a mode The procedure is the same as for other modes (see Time modes – schedule editor). The new mode is entirely in the **Terminal-dependent** state.

Mode	Meaning
According to terminal	The direction of passage is determined by the sensor setting.
Arrival	The passage is recorded as an arrival.
Departure	The passage is recorded as a departure.

Example: in the **Mon–Fri** row, set the **Entry** interval in the morning and **Exit** in the afternoon; for the rest of the day, **As per terminal** will remain. ![“Edit direction switching mode” dialog for the reception turnstile showing shift settings and a timeline; the Entry mode is selected and outlined in green.
