Site Code 1
This function allows the 8-digit site primary code for the system to be entered. The controller
will recognize only cards with a matching site code. This code should also be quoted
whenever additional cards or tags are being ordered for this installation. The factory default
site-code is 10-2770-09, which allows the use of the test card supplied with the controller.
Site Code 2
This function allows an 8-digit site secondary code for the system to be entered. In addition
to the cards containing the primary site code, the controller will also recognize cards with this
site code. In this case, an offset may also be specified – this is a value that is added to the
card number of cards bearing the secondary site code, to prevent conflicts. If the secondary
site code is not being used, it should be set to 00-0000-00.
Card Format
• When “Active” is set to YES, the controller will recognize cards with a non-standard
(custom) format. The card information must be encoded using ISO/ABA Track 2 format
and may contain from 2 to 37 digits.
• When “Check All” is set to YES, the controller will also allow cards encoded with one
of its standard built-in formats. This could be used (for example) in a transitional period
while older legacy cards are being phased out.
• The Length field contains the total number of digits on the custom card. If this value is
non-zero, then any card with a different number of digits will be rejected.
• The Site field allows the entry of the location of the starting digit of the site code field on
the card. The length specifies how many digits are in the site code (1-5).
• The Card field allows the entry of the location of the starting digit of the card number
field on the card. The length specifies how many digits are in the card number (1-5).
• The Issue field allows the entry of the location of the starting digit of the issue number
field on the card. The length specifies how many digits are in the issue number (1-3). If
issue numbering is not being used, then the start digit and length should be set to zero.
Change PIN
The Change PIN function allows a different PIN to be configured for the installer. The user
will be prompted to enter a new six-digit code (it will not be displayed). The PIN must then
be re-entered for verification. The PIN will be accepted as long as it does not conflict with
any existing code (or duress code).
Factory Default
This function overwrites the controller’s non-volatile memory with the factory default
settings. All user names, timezones, card enables, log information etc. are completely deleted
so this function should be used with care.
It is always a good idea to factory default a new controller prior to initial configuration, or
if the controller software has been changed or upgraded.
