Paxton PROXIMITY encoding system - Manual (Page 2)

Each enrolment card+ which has a unique number
sequence and therefore each new site will require its
own separate enrolment card+.
Once a valid enrolment card+ is presented to the USB
desktop encoder, its number will appear in the bottom
left hand corner of the window. Click the Login button,
which will have become active.
The PROXIMITY encoding system is now ready to use.
Initialising the door locks
The Enrolment card+ provided with the Desktop encoder must also be presented to each of the door readers
when they are first installed. This process ‘enrols’ the door with the same unique set of codes that have already
been set up in the PC.
If an existing card pack is being used on the site, the original Enrolment card should be presented to the reader,
followed immediately by the Enrolment card+ to add the new code set. Two beeps from the reader at the door
indicate that the enrolment process was successful.
Once a door lock has been enrolled, it is ready to use. All of the user cards that are produced by the Desktop
encoder system will be automatically valid - there is no need to enrol each new card at the door to make it work.
Please note that the Enrolment card+ is an important part of the system. It should be kept in a safe place
and should not be given to unauthorised people. If it is lost or stolen, the security of the site will have been
compromised. To recover from this situation, see the Security section of this document.
Adding a user
1. Click the Users icon from the encoding menu.
2. Double click on New user.
3. Select Yes if you wish to encode a token as you enter each set of user details (In this mode the software will
not allow a user to be entered unless a blank card is presented to the desktop encoder). Select No if you wish to
enter users details and encode their tokens later.
4. Fill in the details of the user, present a token to the desktop encoder (if this option was selected) and click Add
user. The window will remain open to allow further users to be added. If you are programming a card, select its
zone colour (see the explanation of zones in the function card section, or just choose green if you are not sure).
5. To return to the main screen click Close.
