Encode Diagnostic Card

This function is used to encode a Diagnostic Card. The diagnostic card is a card that

is used to check the batteries and read head of a lock. The card is encoded with a low

magnetic level and a special code that the locks will recognize. The lock will respond

with a quick green light if it is functioning normally, a solid green light and flashing

red light if the batteries are low, or a delayed red light if the read head is inoperative.

The diagnostic card will not open any doors.

To encode a diagnostic card, perform the following steps:

1. Select Encode Blocking Card from the Special Cards menu.

2. You will be prompted to insert a card into the encoder. When you have

finished encoding the card, your diagnostic card is ready to use.

Encode Spare Cards

emember that when you

need the Spare Cards or a

rogramming Card urgently,

ou will not be able to

encode them.

This function is used to encode Spare Cards. Spare Cards are used in conjunction

with the programming cards to allow new guests to check in to a room in the event

that the front desk card issuing system is completely down. The spare cards must be

pre-encoded and stored in a safe place that is accessible to the front desk staff in the

event of an emergency, such as a power outage. Spare cards are not assigned to a

room until the programming card is used. Continue reading for further operating

instructions.

Remember that when you need the Spare Cards or a Programming Card urgently,

you will not be able to encode them.

Encoding Programming and Spare Cards

The programming card is used to enable the spare cards in the locks in the event that

the front desk card issuing system is completely down. It is very important to keep

the programming cards and spare cards together in a safe place that is accessible to

the front desk staff in the event of an emergency, such as an extended power failure

in the hotel.

To encode programming and spare cards, perform the following steps:

1. Select Encode Spare Cards from the Special Cards menu.

2. You must decide if you need to encode new programming cards or if

you only need spare cards. To encode programming cards, click on the

check box and enter the number of cards in the appropriate field. Make

as many copies as you think you will need because making new

programming cards invalidates any existing programming cards.

3. Then enter the number of spare cards you want to encode and press the

ENTER key or click the OK button.

4. You will be prompted to encode programming cards first. When you

have encoded all the programming cards you selected, you will be

prompted to encode the spare cards.
