MASTER CARD ENROLLMENT TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WHAT IS A MASTER CARD
The master card is the one card used to access the programming mode of the 950. Once enrolled, it
can be used in place of the master code at time of programming. Although the card is the same
physical type of card as a user card, the 950 treats it in a different way. When you enroll a card as the
master card, the 950 not only reads the serial number of the card (like it does when it enrolls a user card)
but also programs a special code into a memory chip located on the card itself. When the card is
presented to the 950, both the serial number and the special code are read for validation.
MASTER CARD ENROLLMENT PROBLEMS
If programmed, the program card will no longer function as a user card or as a master card for another
unit without first erasing the card's internal memory chip.They usually come from the manufacturer fully
erased and ready to enroll as either a master or user card. Occasionally a card may need to be erased
again before it will be accepted as a master card at time of enrollment. This is the procedure:
RESET THE 950 TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
Disconnect Power.
While depressing both the & # keys, apply power. The LED will flash
green
and then after a few
seconds will turn
red
. This resets the master code to the default '000000'. To erase all user cards and
settings as well as the master code, continue depressing the & # keys until the
red
LED goes out.
Remove power.
Release the & # keys.
Wait 5 seconds.
Reapply power.
ERASE THE CARD
Apply Power.
Enter 000000 (the unit is now in programming mode).
Enter 7 (LED flashes
green
).
Present the card to be erased and remove (1 beep).
Enter
#
(6 beeps and the unit is now out of programming mode again).
The card is now erased and ready to be enrolled as a master card.
