Set Reader Site Parameters
The following section provides a brief summary of all the parameters that need to be
set for the Hand Reader site. Programming instructions are provided following this
summary.
Once in the Command Menu, you can step through and set the parameters for each
command sequentially. You do not have to exit command mode after setting any
individual command.
Set Language – allows the language shown on the Hand Reader’s display to be
“localized” for a variety of countries.
Set Date Format – allows the date format shown on the Hand Reader’s display to be
“localized” for a variety of countries.
Set Time and Date – allows the Hand Reader’s time and date to be set. If the Hand
Reader is networked to a PC, this step is not necessary as the Hand Reader’s time
and date will be set by the host computer.
Stand-alone Hand Readers and Hand Readers on a master/remote Hand Reader
network require adjustment for the daylight savings time changes. Hand Readers
networked to a host PC do not require adjustment as the host PC automatically makes
the adjustment.
Set Address – allows a unique address to be set for each Hand Reader in a network.
For proper operation, each Hand Reader in the network must have a unique
address. Addresses 0 to 254 are available – address 255 is reserved for the master
Hand Reader in a network. The default address is 0. An address does not need to
be set for stand-alone Hand Readers.
Set ID Length – allows you to reduce the number of keystrokes required to enter the
ID number by eliminating the use of the
key to complete an ID
number entry. Once the ID Length is set, when a user enters an ID number the
Hand Reader will automatically accept that number once the correct number of
characters have been entered. Set ID Length does not apply when ID entry is made
from a card reader. Set ID Length cannot be used if a Duress Code has been
assigned.
Set Output Mode – allows either of two output modes to be set. Outputs are pulled to
ground when activated.
•
Lock/Aux for Hand Readers acting as door controllers
•
Card Reader Emulation for Hand Readers outputting to an access control panel
