Phase 2: Community
Groups
2A: Set Up Communities
With shared users, the 'PIN Mode'
and 'User L ogon Mode' for each
account is se t under "[Management]
ÖCommunity Groups", and will not be
editable under "Account Info rmation".
(This is requi red since the length of
each user's PIN and card number is fixed.)
These are defined as "Com munities" which will
be assigned in step 2B.
Note: If communities are assigned to accounts without
setting up shared users, this will block the same card
numbers from being used across all accounts for each
community (i.e., each card number can only apply to
one account for each specific community).
How to Get Here (Locator)

bar, or
select [Management] in the tree, and

- PIN Mode: Click the small button here, and
select the PIN length (4 or 5 digits);
- User Logon Mode: Click the small button
here, and select the logon mode (ID-only, or
number of digits in the card numbers);
Note: PIN Mode and User Logon Mode pertain to
logging in at LCD keypads, or gaining entry at a
reader that is set for "ID+PIN mode.
2B: Reserve User ID#s
(Shared User-Groups)
"Shared User Groups" allow setting up sh ared
users in blocks based on common authorities,
plus the 'PIN Mode' and 'User Logon Mode' for
the accounts to be associated with these
users. This includes reserving ranges of user
ID#s for groups of shared users.
Tip: This is done in blocks of ten (whether they all will
be defined or not).
Note: For multiple groups of shared users to apply to
the same account
, ensure the ID ranges do not overlap.
