Update – Encode Master Cards With New Data
The Update function is a simple way to bring existing cards up-to-date with any
attribute changes or a new expiration date. The following steps explain how the
update function operates.
1. Click the Update button.
2. Press any key to begin.
3. Insert and remove the card. If you are using smart cards, insert the card and
leave it in. This step reads the information on the card to see if there are any
changes.
4. If you require a PIN, you must enter the correct PIN when prompted.
5. If the card is not up-to-date, insert the card again to re-encode the card with the
new data.
6. If there is a message for the user, it is displayed along with a list of the new data.
View – Show Master User Data
It may be useful for some operators to be able to see the attributes given to a master
user, but not be able to make changes. For example, anyone could answer "When
does my card expire?", but only a few operators could actually change that attribute.
The View screen allows operators to see everything about a master user, but no
changes can be made.
Disable/Enable – Deny/Allow Card Updates
If you disable a master user, that user will not be allowed to revalidate the card.
Disabling a master user does not prevent you from encoding cards or making
privilege modifications.
You may want to disable a user if you want the user to see a manager before he is
able to revalidate.
Delete - Remove a User from the List
To remove unneeded users from the list, highlight the canceled user and click on the
Delete icon. This will remove the user from the view. If necessary, you can recover
a deleted user. First select ‘View Deleted Users’ from the View menu. Highlight the
user to be undeleted and click the Delete icon to reinstate the user.
Note: Deleted users are not actually removed from the database. This is done to
keep the integrity of the lock audit reports. If you reach the limit of users allowed in
the system (5,000) you will be prompted to overwrite a deleted user the next time a
new user is added.
Master Canceling Card
This function is used to cancel a lost master card in the locks. When a master is lost,
cancel the master user in the Master Users List (F11) and then encode a master
canceling card for that type of master. Insert the master canceling card into each
lock that can be accessed by the lost master. Once the master card is canceled in the
locks, you must modify the master user that was canceled to reinstate the master
