Pick-List (bottom of the 
form) 
-Panel (optional): If the tree is not set to 
show items on a panel-by-panel basis, 
you will be able to select a panel here 
(for systems that have more than one). 
A "Panel Group" reference may also be 
shown here, or
 you can set the 'tree' to list 
configuration topics separately for each 
panel. For more information, refer to "Other 
Desktop Choices". 
 Standard  and  
Alternate  
(for 1
st
 & 2
nd
 card formats to be used at the 
same time)
Two card types can be set up, allowing either 
Wiegand / Prox and Magstripe/barcode, or two types of 
Wiegand / Prox cards to be used with each specific 
panel. 
All length values refer to number of characters for 
magnetic stripe cards (MS), or number of bits for 
Wiegand technology (W). 
- Token Format: This allows defining 
parameters for the basic card/token types (as 
selected for each specific reader). 
"Wiegand" pertains to cards/tokens for readers with 
Wiegand data-format (Wiegand, Proximity, etc.). 
Similarly, "Magstripe" pertains to cards for readers 
with magstripe output (magstripe, bar-code, etc.). 
------------------------- 
- [Wiegand 26]: This automatically sets the card-
format values for the standard 26-bit Type-A 
Wiegand format. 
- [Wiegand 36]: This automatically sets the card-
format values for the proprietary 36-bit Wiegand 
format. 
Card Site (Site/System Code) 
- Site Required: This enables/disables site code 
checking. If selected, cards without one of the 
specified site codes will be denied access. 
- Site Code 1, 2, 3: If site-code checking is 
enabled, only cards encoded with one of these 
site codes will be allowed access at this site 
(e.g., 0004, 1234, 9999). 
- Position: The start position of the site code 
(1-40); 
- Length: The length of the site code (MS: 1-4; 
W: 1-16). 
Card Version (Version-Number) 
This feature requires  V3.2 panel firmware and  V1.5 
door/elevator controller module firmware. For an 
additional setting, refer to "AutoUpdate Card Version", 
under  Special  (to follow). 
- Version Required: This enables/disables 
version number checking (allows fixed-ID cards 
to be re-issued if lost or stolen). 
- Position: The starting position of the version 
number (1-40). 
- Length: The length of the version number (MS: 
1-2; W: 1-8). 
Card ID 
- Position: The starting position of card ID 
number (1-40); 
- Length: The length of card ID number (MS: 4-9; 
W: 1-32). 
32-Bit Cards: Supported with panel firmware  V3.2, 
and door/elevator controller module firmware 
 V1.5 
(prev. 20 bit / 6 digits). 
V3.2 panels: MaxID=999999999; V3.31 Panels: 
MaxID=4
 294 967 295. 
- Bits per Card: The length of the card data in 
bits (Wiegand), or characters (magnetic stripe). 
This can be up to 40. 
- Bits per Character
 (magstripe only): The number 
of bits used to identify each character of data on 
a magstripe card (future use; fixed as 4). 
Odd Parity 
These settings pertain to odd-parity checking, which 
helps to identify card 'misreads'. 
Configuration System Access 
Note: For a system set for intrusion-only (under Account Information), 
the "Access" tab will appear as "Token Format".
