EntryProx User Manual, 4045-905, Rev. C.4
6.2 LED Indication during Program Mode
A slow blinking yellow LED indicates that the unit is in program mode.
When the yellow LED stops blinking and is OFF completely, the unit is no longer in program mode.
A steady yellow LED indicates an error condition where:
1. You are trying to enter a card or PIN which is already stored in another User Location
2. You have pressed the wrong key in a command sequence
Press * to clear the error condition, then enter a new code or PIN, or re-enter the command
sequence as required.
Note: If the unit does not go into program mode, contact your dealer or HID Technical
Support.
6.3 Changing the Master Code
The EntryProx cannot be programmed before you change the master code. This feature prevents
users from leaving the default code in the unit; thereby preventing unauthorized programming and
tampering. The steps are:
1. Enter programming mode using the default master code in User Location 1:
Press: 99 # 1234 *
2. Enter a new master code into User Location 0:
Press: 50 # 1 # 0000 # new master code * new master code *
Note: Code can be 1 – 6 digits. This PIN is mirrored to User Location 1.
3. Enter a new code into User Location 1. See Section 7: Card/PIN Programming Sequences.
4. Press * to exit program mode.
You can now program any user type into User Location 1, or you can simply delete it. User Location
0 is not an access code – it is only used to enter programming mode. Although it is not
recommended, you can also program the same PIN used in User Location 0 as an access code in
another location – it is the only code not checked for duplication.
It is also possible to change the master code and leave the master code in user location 1, however,
this is not recommended, because the master code can be accidentally overwritten.
6.4 Preparing to Program Card
Before programming cards, determine the answers to the following questions:
Question: How many cards do I have to enroll?
Answer: If you have more than 50-75, you may want to batch enroll them. If you have fewer, you
may want to program one at a time.
Question: How are the cards encoded: What is the bit format, ID numbers and Facility Code?
Answer: If you have sequentially numbered cards with 26-bit format and the same Facility Code,
you can batch-enroll them from the keypad. Otherwise you must program them individually or
batch-enroll by sequentially placing the cards in front of the reader.
Note: If you add new 26-bit cards manually (via the keypad), the Facility Code must be entered into
the unit first. For the programming sequence used to enter the 3-digit Facility Code. See Section 10:
Programming Commands, item 32.
