HID EDGE EVO Solo User Guide - Manual (Page 30)

Before you add a card, you must set up the format for your type of card. When you set up the
format, you assign the format a name, select the correct format template, and enter the code your
installer gave you for each type of card.
Each type of card may use a different format to store information on the card. The format your
cards use is listed on the box of cards. The EDGE EVO Solo accepts the following formats:
• Corporate 1000
• H10301 Standard 26-bit
• H10304 HID Managed 37-bit
• H10302 Open 37-bit
Each type of card has a company ID code or facility code listed on the box. Be sure you have
this code.
Most likely, you have only one type of card, but it is possible to have more than one type for use
with your EDGE EVO Solo.
NOTE: We recommend writing the name you assign to a box of cards on the box. This way, you
will know which cards use the format that you set up.
To set up a card format:
1. Click the Card Formats text link.
• The Card Formats page displays.
2. Click Add Format.
3. From the “Which template do you want to use?” drop-down list, select the format template that
corresponds to the box of cards you are setting up.
• The format the cards use is listed on the box.
4. In the Name Your Custom Format box, enter a name for the format.
• You can enter up to 20 characters, including spaces.
• Be sure you will be able to associate this name with the box of cards you are setting up.
We recommend writing the name on the box of cards and making the name something that
relates to the cards like the color or brand.
5. If needed, enter the company ID or facility code for the card type.
• The appropriate field displays, if needed.
• This code is listed on the box. Some card types have a company ID, and other types have
a facility code.
