10 TS0870x-series Installation & Programming Guide 4.0
Method B — Using a reader configuration card
This method is required for programming readers for use in secured mode. This is the only means of transferring the
security password to the reader.
Reader configuration cards may be used in two ways:
• A reader configuration card may be programmed for the individual reader (including the LAN address). See
Single-address programming below.
• A reader configuration card may be programmed generically (without a LAN address). The reader address is
then set using the built-in beeper to select the required address. See
Multi-address programming on page 11.
Single-address programming
You can create a reader configuration card to program a single reader. The reader configuration card is used only
for a reader at the address programmed into the reader configuration card.
The reader configuration card is programmed using appropriate software (e.g. TITAN, Alliance, etc.) in conjunction
with a TS0870P Smart Card Programmer. Refer to the management software on-line help for details of how to
program the reader configuration card.
Refer to
Reader programming on page 12 for details about the programming options that apply to the TS0870x-
series Smart Card Readers.
Use the following steps to program the reader.
Step Action
1 Program the reader configuration card with the options required for the reader, including the required address.
2 Connect the reader to the LAN or sub-LAN or a 12 VDC supply as described in the Installation Guide.
3 Enable polling for RAS address 16, and enable polling for the required address (if not address 16).
4 Badge the reader configuration card once. The reader will beep either one or two times:
• A single beep indicates that the details programmed into the reader configuration card are identical to the
details programmed into the reader.
• Two beeps indicates that the details programmed into the reader configuration card are different from the
details programmed into the reader (this is the expected result).
After a few seconds, the reader will begin three sets of coded beeps to indicate its current address. Refer to
Beep
codes for LAN addresses
on page 11 to interpret the coded beeps.
5 The reader will respond to polling at its new address after the next four coded address beeps.
6 When finished adding readers, de-poll address 16 (if not needed for a reader).
