This is a secondary site code that may be used to allow cards from a different
installation to be used on this system. Entering 00-0000-00 disables the
secondary site code.
Offset
If a secondary site code is being used, conflict may arise between identically
numbered cards on the two systems. To resolve the conflict, an offset may be
specified. This is a number that is added to the card number of any card bearing
the second site code. For example, an offset of 1000 would mean that card
number 1 on the other system is treated as card 1001 on this system. Using a
negative value may be used to lower the card number. The offset may be any
number from -32768 to 32767 but is usually zero.
Format
If the site-coded cards being used have not been supplied by ACT, then it may
be necessary to configure the system with their format before they can be used.
This is achieved by pressing the Format button, which displays the Card Format
Dialog.
Issue
This is the system issue level for cards on this system. If issue numbered cards
are being used, then only cards with an issue number equal to or greater than
the system issue level will be accepted. If issue numbering is not being used, this
field should be zero.
Batch Cards
Batch cards are sequentially coded groups of cards that may be used on the
system. The user number is not directly encoded on the cards, so batches must
first be configured in the card manager so that they can be linked to specific
users. Once a batch has been configured on the system, the use of site-coded
cards is no longer possible.
Adding a Batch
Batches of cards are added to the system by pressing the Add button, which
displays the Add Batch dialog. Note that cards in a batch must be contiguous; if a
gap exists then the cards may need to be split into two or more batches.
Removing a Batch
Batches of cards are removed from the system by selecting a batch in the Batch
List and pressing the Remove button.
AUX Card Memory
Some controllers have limited memory, and cannot support some combinations
of features. Typically, (in addition to site-coded or batch coded cards) it is only
