Read a Card (F3)

Read a Card

esigned for Keyboard Use!

This function is used to identify an unknown card and to examine the information

encoded on the card.

To read a card, perform the following steps:

1. From the Reception menu, click Read, press the F3 key, or click on the

Read Card Tool.

2. The screen will prompt you to insert the card. Insert and remove the

card in the encoder.

3. Once the card has been read, the screen will display all of the guest

information encoded on the card, such as the authorizations and the

expiration date and time. In the example in the figure above, the card is

for room 256 and 258, and it is the original card (not a copy). The card

was authorized to operate the guestroom safe, garage, pool, and the

concierge lounge. This card will not override guest privacy or the

blocking card, and it cannot place a door into office mode. The card

will expire at 3:00 p.m. on June 17, 1999 and was encoded by Sally on

June 12 at 3:30 PM.

You may read another card by pressing the READ button located in the

bottom left of the window. When you are finished reading cards, press

the ESCAPE key and select another function, or press the F9 key to log

out of the system.
