Credential Settings
WAMS tracks individual requests for access or exit from the facility by their unique credentials, and
each request is recorded as a transaction in the WAMS database for reference. Whether your
organization uses keypad readers or card readers, each user will be assigned a unique
credential number. Under Credential Settings, you will enter the credential ID and number, select a
credential type, and set additional parameters related to the credential type. You can add
another level of security by combining an individual’s credential with a personal ID number (PIN). If
your organization requires a PIN, you will enter them here.
Credential setup is a two-step process: First you will select the credential type to be used, then
you will register the credential
Keypad Type
The default credential type in WAMS is Keypad. When you add a user to the system, WAMS
assigns them a unique keypad credential number, then automatically registers it with the system. If
your facility uses only keypads, once you add the new user name, you can skip to Adding PINs and
Expirations Dates.
Card Types
If your facility uses card type credentials, you must select the card type, enter the appropriate
settings, and then register the credential number with the system.
