Managing Credentials
Every person who needs to enter a facility will need a credential (i.e., an ID badge with an encoded
number that is recognized by the System). Before assigning a credential, add the person to the
database. See
Note:
Whenever credentials are changed or deleted, the local cache on IPSDCs is cleared to
prevent unauthorized access in case IPSDCU Fallback Mode is being used. See
Using an Enrollment Reader
The optional enrollment reader (TP-RDR-LRN) can be connected with a local client workstation and
then used to read credentials. The credential data will be automatically inserted into the Credential
ID field on the Access Management > Persons page. This device can save time if numerous
credentials are being added.
Install and configure the reader on the local client workstation according to the manufacturer’s
instructions, which are available online at
wnload the pcProx Configuration
Utility, which includes documentation for the pcProx Plus reader (i.e., the TP-RDR-LRN).
Note the following details about configuring the enrollment reader:
•
If using credentials with a facility code, configure the reader to separate the facility code from the
credential code on the badge.
•
The pcProx Configuration Utility uses .hwg files to configure the enrollment reader. Use the
Casi_card.hwg configuration file to recognize CASI Prox badges.
