40 BC615 Installation and User Manual
Card reading parameters
NOTE: Card-reading parameters can only be changed if using a
magnetic strip card reader.
Magnetic strip card reader
When BC615 is delivered, the card reader reads positions 9 to 16 on the
card’s magnetic strip, or the last 8 positions if they are fewer than 16. If
you want to use your own cards and they should be read differently,
enter from which position on the magnetic strip the reader should start
reading and how many digits should be read (max. 8).
Note! Previously logged on cards will not work if you change the card
parameters.
1 Set the card reader to programming mode.
2 Press A97. zz
3 Enter from which digit in the card number (01-40) the digits
should be read.
To reset this function to the default setting, press A at this point.
4 Enter the number of digits to be read (1-8).
5 Press B to leave programming mode.
Note! If less than 8 digits are used in the card number, add as many 0
digits as necessary to make up an eight-digit card number when using
the A03, A04 and A16 commands.
Example: If the card number is 5432, enter 00005432 when using the
A03, A04 and A16 commands.
Proximity reader
When using proximity readers the co-operation between the reader and
the cards are stated at the factory and cannot be changed. The digits
used for logging on a card – or cancelling a card – will be the eight
digits seen on the card. E g 00226225.
