Overview
The Linear BluePass Multi-Tech Reader provides a simple and
convenient way to leverage state of the art BLE mobile credentials
for access control. Whether a new site installation or an upgrade
of an existing system, realizing the power of mobile credentials
is a very simple process. In this guide, we will walk you through
setting up and con
fi
guring the necessary to get started.
There are several major components in the Linear BluePass
ecosystem solution illustrated in this guide:
1. The Linear BluePass Portal – This is a web based portal used
by the dealer/installer/facility administrator to manage mobile
credentials.
Portal functionality includes:
a. Redeem your Credential-To-Go™ cards for mobile
credential credits.
b. De
fi
ne top level Organizations in which end-users have
access to via mobile credentials.
c. Issue mobile credentials to end-users for access to an
Organization.
d. Manage existing BLE credentials, their associated
Wiegand IDs, and view reports on the number of
credential credits remaining for issuance.
2. The Linear Wallet Mobile Application – This mobile app is
available for both iOS and Android.
The app serves two purposes:
a. Intended for use by end-users of an organization to
gain entry to a protected area using a BluePass Multi-
Tech Reader. It displays virtual credentials assigned
for use when the app is opened. Under normal
circumstances, the app runs silently in the background
of the user’s mobile device, transmitting the end-user
BLE credential to the reader when the user activates
the reader’s capacitive touch sensor, typically by
touching the reader.
b. The Installer Permission Cred The Linear
Wallet APP – To gain entry to a protected area using
BluePass, as well being designed speci
fi
cally for the
dealer/installer to con
fi
gure and manage BluePass
Multi-Tech Readers installed at the Organizations they
manage. This permission is granted by checking the
installer Permission box located at the bottom of the
“Add User” page.

gurations of individual reader
hardware, such as BLE range requirements for
acceptance of access requests, and the reader
power setting for LED intensity and animations.
ii. In-

3. The Linear BluePass Multi-Tech Reader – This is the physical
reader hardware that supports a standard mullion-style or
U.S. single-gang mounting installation. The reader uses
standard 26 to 37-bit Wiegand formats and supporting legacy
125 KHz prox cards, as well as the Linear BluePass Mobile
Credential. The reader is con
fi
gured using the Linear Dealer/
Installer Mobile Application during installation.
