PERFORMING A TRANSIT WITH CARD AND PIN CODE
Performing a transit with card and PIN code
A card provides identification for the cardholder; a PIN provides authentication.
When a device is configured for both card and PIN verification, it can identify
and authenticate a cardholder.
To perform a transit with card and PIN code:
1
Present your card to the reader. The device identifies your card and performs
the controls on the cardholder archive; if the controls are passed, the device
displays a request for a PIN.
2
Enter the PIN. The device checks the PIN entered against the value stored for
you for the number of retries configured.
Note
: You do not need to press
Enter
to confirm the PIN entered; once the
configured number of digits configured for the PIN is reached, the device
automatically processes it.
When the device verifies that the PIN is correct, access is granted. The device
emits the access granted sound (a gentle chime) and displays the Access Granted
message.
Once you receive this message, open the controlled door, pass through it, and
close it.
If the device doesn’t recognize the PIN value:
•
The transit is denied.
•
The device emits an access denied sound.
•
The device displays an Access Denied message.
•
The door remains locked.
