2.5 Terminology
Several key terms that are used often in this manual are defined below.
Computer / PC
These terms refer to all desktop and laptop computers running a Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating system.
Data Carrier
A data carrier is a form of identification media that is used by staff and visitors in a facility for identification. Data
carriers are available in a variety of different forms such as plastic wristbands and chip cards. Data carriers are also
available to suit different RFID technologies (LEGIC, MIFARE
®
, ISO 15693).
System Data Carrier
Several different types of System Data Carriers are used for programming, service and maintenance tasks. These
data carriers have special functions and as they are essential for operation of the GL7p and have security-related
features, they must be kept in a secure place and be protected against unauthorized use. Most of the System Data
Carriers are included in the GAT ECO.Basic Set FD; however, some must be ordered separately as required.
FID (Company ID) and Site Key
LEGIC systems use the FID number and in MIFARE
®
systems the site key is used, which is a combination of the
FID and the read and write keys. The FID and site key are unique for every facility. These numbers are encoded in
every data carrier and device used in the facility thereby ensuring that data carriers from one installation cannot be
used in other installations.
GAT Config Manager
GANTNER developed PC software that is used to configure GANTNER devices such as the GL7p. A separate
manual is available and integrated into the software. While the software is
open, click on the “Help” drop-down
menu and select “How Do I”.
Lock
General term for the GL7p.
Locker
The term "locker" is used to describe all possible locker applications that can be fitted with a GANTNER electronic
lock. Typical applications include a changing room locker, a deposit box, or a private box.
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification)
Identification over a short distance using radio frequency. An RFID data carrier is used to identify users in
GANTNER systems.
Wireless
Identification via a wireless interface in the range 2.402 to 2.48 GHz, over which identification and locker operation
from several meters, e.g., via an app on a smartphone, is possible.
User / Guest / Visitor
These general terms refer to the people in a facility who use the locker system with GANTNER locker locks, data
carriers, and other GANTNER devices on a daily basis.
