Issuing cards using the “Batch Load” feature

The Batch Load feature allows operators to issue cards by presenting cards to a door reader. The card number is displayed on an “unknown card” or “access denied” event messages. During a Batch Load operation, the operator can create new cards or modify existing ones.

  1. From the Card window, click the Batch Load button.
  2. From the Door drop-down list, select the door that is used to read the cards.
  3. Check the following options:
    • Refresh an access granted: if this option is checked, each time an access is granted the information displayed is refreshed with data relative to the card.
    • Save on new card: if this option is checked, new cards is saved in the card database on an “unknown card” event message. If this box is not checked, the operator must save the card manually each time a card is read.
      Note: When this option is selected, the first card presented to the door reader is only saved when presenting a second card or by pressing the save button.
    • Find: allows operators to search for an existing card in order to create a new card based on the existing card data.
      Note: If an operator clicks the Close button without saving (when the Save button is still enabled), a system prompt asks to save the last information.
