Assign PINs
The Assign PINs function allows a different PIN to be assigned to each of the first
1000/2000 users. Initially, the PIN will be unset. Pressing the ✔
✔✔
✔ key will prompt for the PIN
for the displayed user to be entered (it will not be displayed). The PIN must then be re-
entered for verification. The PIN will be accepted as long as it does not conflict with any
existing PIN (or duress PIN). Entering all zeros will delete the PIN. The actual PIN is never
shown on the display.
In PIN Only operation, this is the PIN that that user must enter to gain access. In this case, the
PIN must be unique. In PIN & Card operation, this is the PIN that must be entered after the
user has presented a card to the reader. If a PIN for a user is not set, then the relevant group
PIN may be used instead (PIN & Card only).
Note that if learned cards are being used on the system, then individual user PINs are not
permitted. In this case the relevant group PIN should be used instead.
Learn
In Learn Mode, any or all of the first 1000/2000 users may be allocated a randomly coded
card in place of the usual site coded card. Any card with valid data on ISO Track 2 may be
used. Certain types of wiegand cards may also be used.
Initially the display will show Not Assigned for the selected user indicating that the normal
site-coded card should be used. Pressing the ✔
✔✔
✔ key prompts the user to select a door to learn
from. After selecting a door, the user presents a card to the reader at that door. When the user
presents the card to the reader, a unique 10-digit number generated from the data on the card
is displayed. This card may then be used to gain access, and will replace any previously
learned card.
Instead of presenting the card, the 10-digit number may be directly entered on the keyboard,
if it is known in advance. Entering all zeros for the card number will revert to using the
standard site-coded card for that user.
Learning cards is particularly useful for visitors who could, for example, use their
personal bankcards to gain access for the duration of their visit.
Batch Cards
The Batch Cards function allows a sequential batch of cards to be assigned to a sequential
range of users (e.g. card numbers 1001 to 1200 assigned from user 1 to user 200, where user
1 has card 1001). 50/100 batches may be programmed, each with a unique range of cards.
Users may be assigned different cards in different batches if desired.
Initially, the display will show the batch as Not Assigned. Pressing the ✔
✔✔
✔ key prompts the
user to select a door to read the cards from. The user must then present the first card in the
batch to the reader at the selected door. When the user presents the first card to the reader,
the card number is displayed. The user is then prompted to enter the last card in the batch.
Instead of presenting the card, the 10-digit number may be directly entered on the keyboard,
if it is known in advance. If the cards entered are already assigned to another batch, then the
user is prompted to try again. The display will then request the user number to be assigned to
the first card in the batch. Ensure that the user selected does not already have a card assigned.
The usual site coded cards are disabled if any batch cards are assigned on the system.
However, site coded cards may be entered as a batch. Learned cards operate as normal.
