Credential 2
Now place the cursor into the Credential 2 field and type the Password ‘UserPass’
Since the Credential 2’ checkbox is checked, the field fill-in character is the ‘*’. Deselecting this check
box before filling in the field will allow you to view the actual password. This may be useful if the
Credential field is not a password, but some other non-secure information.
The {ENTER] keystroke will not be added since the user will be completing the password entry, and
providing the ENTER keystroke to complete the logon.
The resulting screen should look exactly like the following:
All that is left to do is to ‘Write’ the Credentials 1 and 2 to the contactless card sitting on the reader.
This is done by pressing the ‘Write Credential’ button.
Card Gone Keystrokes:
The ‘Card Gone’ field holds keystrokes to be delivered when the card is removed from the pcProx
Playback reader.
Note
: This feature should be used with caution since it implies the user is being asked to leave
their card on the reader. Since the contactless card often carries security information, it is dangerous to
ask employees to leave a card on the reader since they are likely to forget the card. It therefore leaves
open a security flaw since another user can easily obtain a card and impersonate the user. Two safer
alternatives are:
1. Auto-Locking on 2nd Card Presentation
You can setup the Playback reader to issue a locking keystroke sequence if the card is presented and
removed quickly, the station will auto-lock. Please see the Playback Advanced Section of this User’s
Manual for additional details.
2. Use RF IDeas pcProx Sonar Presence Detector (see section describes this hands-free low cost
alternative)
