Add special card window
The ID code can be entered manually (12 decimal digits) or read via the reader being actually
connected to the USB port (click on
Read button).
Setting date and time
PATROL II LCD reader is equipped with internal real time clock (RTC) with own power supply
source in case reader’s batteries are not available or discharged. Reader’s RTC accuracy is in
practice sufficient to let using it for many months without any correction. It is of course possible to
set RTC each time reader is connected to
Patrol Master software. Setting readers time and date can
be done in
Configure reader window (Fig.2).
Sending configuration to a reader
In order to fully configure a reader it is essential to upload to it a list of checkpoints, guards, special
cards and assign it a tour. All this can be done in
Configure reader window (Fig.2). On the right
hand side of the window there are lists of settings actually stored in the reader’s memory while on
the left hand side lists of all parameters defined in PATROL system. By means of arrows between
left and right list we can configure data to be upload to the reader. Window
tour displays list of
checkpoints and times of visit of currently chosen tour. After making desired list of parameters for a
certain reader, we send them to it using button
Upload configuration to reader. Reader can store in
total up to 1000 checkpoints, guard ID cards and special cards.
