To configure the text reader, do the following:

1. Go to the settings panel of the Text reader object, which is created on the basis of the Computer object.
   
2. From the Input format drop-down list (1) select the input card format:
   • Default − standard format for readers.
   • Honeywell − format of the Honeywell two-dimensional code reader (8 characters, where the first 3 characters are the decimal value of the facility code, and the last 5 characters are the decimal value of the card code).
3. In the COM-port field (2) enter the number of the COM port that is used for connecting the control reader.
4. From the drop-down list (3) select the operation mode of the control reader:
   • Standard settings − the reader will receive the facility and card codes as they are.
   • Custom settings − custom setting for parsing facility and card codes.
5. Set the Output parse details checkbox (4), if it is necessary to display the parsing of the facility code and the card code in the Event viewer.
6. Click the Apply button (5).

If the custom setting for parsing facility and card codes was selected:

1. Set the Full hexadecimal mode checkbox (1) if it is necessary to use the entire card number in hexadecimal notation.
   
2. Set the Full decimal mode checkbox (2) if it is necessary to use the entire card number in decimal notation.
3. In the Get bit range from card data group, set the settings for the received card data:
   1. Set the length in bits of the card data (3).
   2. Set the offset in bits of the card data (4).
   3. Set the Invert byte order checkbox (5), if it is necessary to invert the byte order of the card data.
   4. Set the Invert bit values checkbox (6) if it is necessary to invert the bits of the card data.
   5. Set the Add high bit checkbox (7) if it is necessary to add the high-order bit to the received data, and select the type of the high-order bit to be added from the drop-down list.
   6. Set the Add low bit checkbox (8) if it is necessary to add the low-order bit to the received data, and select the type of the low-order bit to be added from the drop-down list.
4. In the Get card code from range group, set the settings for the received card code:
   1. Set the length in bits of the card code (9).
   2. Set the offset in bits of the card code (10).
   3. Set the Invert byte order checkbox on (11) if it is necessary to invert the byte order of the card code.
   4. Set the Invert bit order checkbox (12) if it is necessary to invert the bit order of the card code.
5. In the Get facility code from range group, set the settings for the received facility code of the card:
   1. Set the length of the facility code in bits (13).
   2. Set the offset of the facility code in bits (14).
   3. Set the Invert byte order checkbox (15) if it is necessary to invert the byte order in the facility code.
   4. Set the Invert bit order checkbox (16) if it is necessary to invert the bit order of the facility code.
6. In the Facility code field (17), if necessary, enter the facility code, which will be automatically assigned to all access cards.
7. Click Apply (18).

The configuration of the text reader is now complete.
