Card Setup
The card setup menu is used to inform the controller which cards should be recognized by the
system. Usually all that is required is to set the primary site code for the system. The site code is
supplied along with any cards ordered, or can be obtained directly from ACT. In addition, a site
code from another installation may be entered allowing shared access to the building. Where non-
standard cards are being used, possibly from a previous access control or time & attendance
system, the card format may be altered to accept these.
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.
