FEATURE PROGRAMMING -- KEY IN AND STORE THE DESIRED VALUES
The feature values can be set and stored into the system one by one with the desired Programming Locations.
Programming can be made continuously and it is not necessary to be in sequence order. Just go to the desired
programming location and key in the value for the desired feature.
IMPORTANT NOTE --- Programming Criteria for Codes:
a) The Prime Codes:
All the Private User PINs, Master Code, Duress Codes, Super User PIN, Common User Code and the Visitor User Codes
belong to Prime Codes in the system. They have the priority to be read and they MUST be unique and can not be
repeated in the programming. A Prime code also can NOT be duplicated for a Secondary code to work with the EM Card
or vice versa.
b) The Prime Cards:
All the EM Cards used in this system are Prime Cards. The cards MUST be unique and can not be repeated use. The
Card always has the priority to be read when working with an User PIN in “EM Card + Secondary PIN” or EM Card +
Common User PIN”.
c)Warning for A Repeated Use of Prime Code or Card:
One long beep is given if a Code/PIN is keyed in or a Card is read. It means that a Prime Code or a Prime Card is
repeated. The Code/PIN or Card was already in one of the PIN or Card Locations or IDs. The programming is invalid.
Change a new Code/PIN or Card and program it again.
d)Secondary User PINs:
The Secondary User PINs are prepared to enhance security. It is put after a Card in “EM Card + Secondary User PIN”
programming. They can be a repeated code within the Secondary PINs but it is NOT allowed a duplicate of the Prime
Codes. The system will reject a duplicated Prime Code for Secondary User PIN or vice versa.
e)Getting Advantages from The Secondary User PINs:
The repeated Secondary PINs can be used as a Group Common User Code or called Department User Code for a group
of EM Cards, which simplifies the programming of using large number of different User PINs. EM Card with Department
Code prevents a lost card used by people of other department. Also, it will be easier to trace out the department of the
lost card belongs to. Of cause, the owner can use a proprietary Secondary User PIN for each EM Card in the “EM Card
+ Secondary User PIN” programming to further increase the security if it is the main concern.
f) Security Level Comparison of The Secondary User PIN/Code following Card Reading:
i) EM Card + Common User Code --- All EM Cards use the same User Code. Security level is better than just Card
only. A lost Card picked up by any people can be used if he knows the Common User Code.
ii) EM Card + Department User Code --- The EM Cards are divided into groups with a Department User Code. A lost
Card can be used only by the people in the same group who know the Department Code.
iii) EM Card + Secondary User PIN --- Each EM Card has its own proprietary User PIN. A lost Card can not be used
by other people.
g) Make A List Recording of The User Names VS User Codes:
Suggest the owner to make a list recording of the User Names corresponding to the Codes/PINs/Cards that are going to
store in the Locations and the IDs before the programming. It will be a useful tool for the owner to easily program them
smoothly and also to trace them from this multi-users system in the future.
