Configuring PIN Codes
There are three different ways of using PINs to get access at a reader. These ways
are called “PIN Only,” “PIN + Card ID,” and “PIN.” In configurations that require
presenting a card to request access, it is possible to add the mode “PIN + Card ID” as
an alternative for people who have forgotten their card.
PIN Only
In “PIN Only” mode all it takes for the system to identify a person is entering a PIN
at a reader. Given a fixed scramble mode, an algorithm produces a unique PIN for
every card number between 1 and 32767. When a PIN is entered at the keypad, the
algorithm calculates the corresponding card number and the access decision is made
based on that card's access rights. This feature works with 5-digit algorithmic PINs
only.
For “PIN Only” to work, you need to configure the following parameters:
1. The panel’s PI
N Code Type (see page 4-16) must be set to Algorithmic.
2. The panel’s N Digit
Pin Code option (see page 4-16) should be set to 5,
although it is ignored in “PIN Only” mode.
3. The panel’s Scrambl
e Mode (see page 4-17) must be set to the value used to
create the PINs from the card numbers.
4. The terminal’s PIN Only card type (see page 4-32) must be selected in. All
other card types must not be selected.
5. The terminal’s Allow PIN after
Badge (see page 4-25) has no effect.
6. The terminal’s PIN Suppr
ession Timezone (see page 4-26) has no effect.
For obvious reasons you cannot waive the req
uirement to enter a PIN in “PIN
Only” mode.
To use “PIN Only” mode, simply enter your 5-digit algorithmic PIN at th
e keypad
followed by the # key, and the access decision will be made.
PIN + Card ID
In this mode the card does not have to be presented at the reader. The numeric
keypad is used to enter the PIN and the card number. This feature works with 4 or
5-digit algorithmic and with 4 or 9-digit custom PINs.
For “PIN + Card ID” to work, you need to configure the fo
llowing parameters:
1. The terminal’s PIN+
Card ID (see page 4-32) must be selected. All other
card types should not be selected, un
less you want to use the “PIN + Card ID”
mode only as an alternative for people who have forgotten their card, or as an
“Air Crew PIN” to grant access to people that do not have a card at all.
2. The terminal’s Allow PIN after
Badge (see page 4-25) has no effect.
3. The terminal’s PIN Suppr
ession Timezone (see page 4-26) has no effect,
i.e., you cannot use time zones to waive the requiremen
t to enter a PIN in
“PIN + Card ID” mode.
