Notes
Setting up kiosk and desktop station characteristics
There are several graphic and functional characteristics of
kiosk and desktop stations that need to be defined. The Con-
figuration Utility will allow you to set these up. Use these to
customize your stations for clearer communication and better
control in automatically issuing key cards.
In making these decisions, make sure to think about how
these decisions will affect all stations on the network. These
graphic and functional characteristics will apply to all sta-
tions; a single station cannot behave differently than another
station on the same network.
Once these characteristics are set up, they can always be
changed or adjusted later.
The types of characteristics that need to be defined include:
■ Customize the graphics that display in the header and
body area of the station screen. Doing this associates the
Stanley ID Express Station™ System with your university
or business.
■ Define the number of attempts that a person is allowed to
to validate their identity in getting a key card before the
user is locked out.
■ Define the amount of time that a person will be locked out.
■ Define the number of days that transaction history is kept
before it is automatically purged.
■ Decide whether you want to show the transaction photo in
the transaction history.
■ Decide whether to issue temporary cards.
■ Decide how long temporary cards will be valid.
■ Customize error or information messages that display on
station screens.

If the Stanley Security Solutions graphic is acceptable, you
can skip the following procedure; it has no effect on how the
system behaves. Remember you can change the appearance
at any time in the future.
