Bank Lobby Function
15.1
Using non-Entro cards for entrance
In SiPass Entro cards of different types, e.g. credit cards or some organization’s
special card can be used for access in dedicated readers. This is possible by
configuring the card’s prefix and then select which readers to use this function.
Remember that if the Bank Lobby Function are to be used at the same time as
“ordinary” cards the security level always have to be Card only.
Example 1 - Cards with exact prefix
The card number is 5760 0096 0029 5679. The four first digits – the prefix – identify
the card as a certain bank’s card and can then be entered as the prefix below.
Example 2 - Cards with some wild card digits
When configuring a prefix, a digit in the prefix can be substituted for a “wild card”.
Any digit may occur in the wild card’s place to make the card valid. The wild card is
represented by an asterisk “*”. If a prefix is configured as 1257*0, cards using the
prefixes 125700, 125710, 125720, 125730, 125740, 125750, 125760, 125770,
125780 and 125790 will be valid.
In SiPass Entro, 15 prefixes can be configured. Each prefix may consist of 7 digits.
The first digit in the prefix may begin at any position on the card. Information about
prefixes on different cards can be obtained from the bank or company supplying
the card. You may also contact Siemens Building Technologies for advice.
Because the function requires that all positions can be read from the card (and
then evaluated by the system) the card reader MUST be of the type Clock & Data
and reading mag stripe card. E g the BC18.
