Magnetic Stripe Credential Configurations
Before Magnetic cards can be used in the system, you must configure AMS to
accept the card types and settings. Figure 77 shows the Magnetic Stripe Credential
Configurations Window. Default settings will be sufficient for most systems.
Most users will use Track 2 cards and will not need to set up any type of advanced
card parameters. Wi-Q AMS default Expiration Date, Segment Code, and Issue
Number settings to Not Used, and no other changes need to be made.
Stanley Security Solutions currently stocks and provides Track 2 or Track 3
magnetic cards. These cards conform to ISO standards and can be ordered pre-
encoded or blank. The system can be used with either Track 1, Track 2, or 3 cards,
however you can only encode 1 type within the same segment.
