Card Options Definition

Use the Miscellaneous tab to specify and view card options.

1 - Select a card number using the Up/down  arrows. The Start date field   indicates the card creation date. You can change this information by selecting another date in the displayed calender. The start date must be the same day or earlier than the current date; else, the Card state field ( Miscellaneous  section) will be set to “Pending”.

2 - Check the Use end date  box if applicable. When this box is checked, the system displays a calender allowing you to select the end date. When the end date is reached, the Card state field is set to “Expired”.

Note: When creating a card with a limited access time of 24 hours of less, for example a Day Pass, the card will expire at midnight. This expiration may take up to one minute to register in the system.

3 - Check the  Delete when expired  option (if applicable). This option can only be used with the Use end date  option. When selected, the card information will automatically be deleted on the expiry date (using the end date specified), otherwise the Card state field will be modified to “Expired”.

Note: A deleted card is a card that is not active in the system database. Even if a card was deleted, previous events generated by this card are still stored in the archive file.

4 - Check the Wait for keypad  option to force users to enter a PIN on keypad to access all doors, then in the Editable PIN  field enter the PIN that users will be required to enter.

5 - Editable PIN number: The operator can enter the number of digits needed by the reader/keypad to grant access (see Default Display Format Selection for more information).

Note: Selecting the Wait for keypad will delay access to a door for this card until the correct PIN has been entered on a keypad. This only affects doors defined with both reader and keypad in the Door Definition menu (Devices > Doors). The keypad schedule must also be valid for this door. For more information on defining a door, see Doors Configuration.

6 - From the Card state drop-down list, assign a state to the selected card. By default, a card is valid. The following s are available:

•   Valid : the card is functional,

•   Invalid : the card is NOT functional,

•   Lost/Stolen : the card is NOT functional,

•   Pending : the card is not yet functional.

•   Expired : the card has reached its expiry date,

Note: You cannot force a card state to Pending  by selecting this state from the Card state drop-down list. To do so, you have to change the Start date.

7 - Check the Disable passback option if you want the card to override the passback option when defined.

Note: If your are issuing a card for a cardholder with disabilities, check the Extended door access delay option. To enable this option in the system, you have to define appropriate delays in the Door definition.

Note: If your are issuing a card for a cardholder with disabilities, check the Extended door access delay option. To enable this option in the system, you have to define appropriate delays in the Door definition. This option is also available when defining visitor cards.

Note: If required check the Privileged operation option to override any security measures regarding doors.

8 - Allow multiple-swipe (KT-400 and KT-1 only): Enable the multi-swipe action (see Card Multi-Swipe for more information).
