About the Rack Access System dialog
The main tab of the Rack Access System dialog contains three panes, the Registered Cards pane, the
Assigned Doors pane, and the All Available Doors (or Unassigned Doors) pane. The Registered
Cards pane list all cards that have been registered with the current appliance. The Assigned Doors pane
lists all of the doors that have been assigned to the currently selected card in the card list.
The All Available Doors pane lists all of the doors known to the appliance. If the All Available Doors
title is clicked, it can be changed to the Unassigned Doors title, which only shows doors that have not
been assigned to the currently selected card. The Unregistered Cards tab contains a list of all known
cards that have not been registered for use with the Rack Access System.
Note: No changes to the Rack Access System will be saved to the appliance until the user
clicks OK or Apply.
Selecting a card format
The Rack Access System uses HID proximity cards in four formats. All cards registered to an appliance
must use the same format, and this format must be chosen before the first card is registered. If you have
not selected a card format, you will not be able to access the Rack Access System dialog. Select a card
format in the Rack Access Settings appliance setting.
For more information on the available formats, see “Rack Access Settings” on page 95
Registering cards
To register a card:
1. Hold the card near a card reader. Three beeps will sound, and the card ID will appear in the
Unregistered Cards tab, along with a timestamp of when the card was swiped. If the card reader
does not beep, the card ID is already listed, or the card is an invalid type.
2. Click the card ID in the Unregistered Cards list and click Register....
3. Fill in the User Name and Description for the new card.
4. Decide whether the card requires an authorization card swipe and click OK.
Authorization card swipes. There are two levels of authorization for cards in the Rack Access
System. A Level One card does not require authorization from another card to access assigned doors. A
Level Two card has the “Requires authorization card swipe” checkbox selected. When a Level Two card
is swiped, it must be followed by a swipe from a Level One card before the Auto-Lock timer expires in
order to access the door. Both cards must have valid access to the door in order for access to be granted.
If the Auto Lock timer expires without the Level One swipe, the Level Two card must be swiped again
before the authorization swipe can occur.
If a door is “assigned” to a card, it means that the card is authorized to access that door. As part of the
assigning process, a schedule is created that controls when the card is authorized to access the door.
