Configuring access cards allows you to set the required number and format of user access cards (see Assigning an access card to a user).

Access cards are configured as follows:

  1. Go to the Access cards tab of the Access Manager object settings panel (1).
  2. In the Cards limits group from the Minimum drop-down list (2), select the minimum number of access cards that should be assigned to the user.

    • from 1 to 5 - if the specified number of access cards is not assigned to the user, then this user cannot be saved in the Access Manager interface object.

    • Unlimited - an unlimited number of access cards can be assigned to the user.

    • Prohibited - the user cannot be assigned access cards. Buttons and functional menu for assigning access cards will be inactive in the Access Manager interface object.

  3. In the Cards limits group from the Maximum drop-down list (3), select the maximum number of access cards that should be assigned to the user.

    • from 1 to 5 - if the user is assigned more than the specified number of access cards, then this user cannot be saved in the Access Manager interface object.

    • Unlimited - an unlimited number of access cards can be assigned to the user.

    • Prohibited - the user cannot be assigned access cards. Buttons and functional menu for assigning access cards will be inactive in the Access Manager interface object.

      Note

      • If at least one Minimum or Maximum parameter has the Prohibited value, the buttons and the functional menu for assigning access cards in the Access Manager interface object will be inactive.
      • If the Prohibited value is set, and the user is assigned an access card without using the Access Manager interface window (see Appendix 2. Configuring a visitor management system without the Access Manager interface window), then this user cannot be saved in the Access Manager interface object until the card is removed from them.
  4. In the Formatting group from the Common format drop-down list (4) select the access cards format:

    Attention!

    If the following access cards restrictions are violated, the user cannot be saved in the Access Manager interface object.

    • Default - allows setting an arbitrary value for the facility code and card code. Any letters, numbers and symbols are allowed except: <| >.

    • Wiegand26 - allows entering a 1-byte facility code (from 0 to 255), and a 2-byte card code (from 0 to 65535).

    • Wiegand32 - allows entering a 2-byte facility code (from 0 to 65535), and a 2-byte card code  (from 0 to 65535).

    • Wiegand26 (code only) - the facility code cannot be set, only a 3-byte card code is set (from 0 to 16777215).

    • Wiegand32 (code only) - the facility code cannot be set, only a 4-byte card code is set (from 0 to 4294967295).

    • TouchMemory - the facility code cannot be set, only the 8-byte card code is set. The format is hexadecimal, characters A, B, C, D, E, F are allowed. The code should be 8 characters or longer. If the entered card code is less than 8 characters long, the the higher order digits are filled with zeros.

    • Hikvision - the Hikvision ACS format. It always has a fixed H character in the facility code. The card code is specified by a string with a maximum length of 32 characters.

    • Configurable - allows setting the parameters of the facility code (5) and card code (6).

      • Fixed character - the specified single character will always be hard-coded, which cannot be changed in the Access Manager interface object.

      • String - allows entering a string of 0 to 255 characters.

      • Numeric - allows entering only numbers from 0 to 4294967295.

      • Hexadecimal - allows entering numbers in HEX format (numbers and symbols A, B, C, D, E, F) from 0 to 8 bytes long.

      • Fixed number - similar to Fixed character, but instead of a character, a number between 0 and 4294967295 is used.

      • Regular template - allows defining an access card template with specified restrictions, lengths and value ranges.

        Note

        An example of some service characters for regular expressions:

        • ^ is the beginning of the regular expression. A line opening.
        • $ is the end of the regular expression. A line closing.
        • . is any single character.

        On the site https://regex101.com you can find a complete list of service characters for regular expressions, as well as to check the accuracy of a regular expression.

        Example 1:
        For the facility code, it is necessary to limit the range of entered numbers from 1 to 3. The amount of numbers should be not more than 4. Other characters and numbers are not allowed.
        Template:

        ^[1-3]{4}$

        Example 2:
        For a card code, it is necessary to limit the code length to 8 characters, at least 1 character for input. In this case, it is allowed to enter uppercase Latin letters A, B, C, D, E, F.
        Template:

        ^[(A-F),(0-9)]{1,8}$
  5. Click the Apply button (7) to save the settings.
