If you need many card credentials in your access control system, you can enroll
multiple credentials simultaneously by entering the card format and data manually.
Before you begin
You must know the exact range of values represented in the card data. Because those
cards are not presented by a reader, the application cannot validate them.
Make sure that
this is the correct enrollment
method you require.
What you should know
All credentials you enroll must be new to your Security
Center system. Any previously enrolled
credential is discarded, because the same credential cannot be enrolled twice in Security
Center. Only a maximum of 5000 credentials can
be created at once.
To enroll multiple credentials manually:
-
In the Credential management task, click Batch enrollment.
-
Click the
Manual entry
tab.
-
From the Card format drop-down list,
set the card format used by the credentials you want to enroll.
This option determines the data fields you must enter, and the range of values
that they can have.
-
In the Facility code and Card number fields, enter the starting and ending
values for the card numbers.
The
Card number field is used as a
sequence generator.
NOTE: If the specified Card number range contains more than 5000
values, the end value is automatically adjusted to be the start value plus
5000.
-
In the Credential prefix section, type
the pattern for the enrolled credential names.
-
In the
Credential status
section, set the status, activation date, and expiration date for the
credentials.
Status:
All possible values are accepted.
Activation:
Can be Never, or a specific date.
Expiration:
Set an expiration for the credential:
Never:
The credential never expires.
Specific date:
The credential expires on a specific date and time.
Set expiration on first use:
The credential expires after a specified number of days after the first
use.
When not used:
The credential expires when it has not been used for a specified number of
days.
-
In the
Security
section, select the partition the enrolled credentials belong to.
This field determines which users can view and modify the credentials.
- To add a partition, click Add
(
).
- To remove a partition, select the partition, and then click Remove (
).
-
From the Badge template drop-down list,
select the default badge template used to represent the credential.
-
In the
Custom fields
section, set the default values for the custom fields.
Custom fields are only available if they have been created for credentials.
-
Click Enroll.
The credentials you are going to create are listed in the
Generated
credentials section.
If some of the credentials are already enrolled, they are discarded, and marked as
rejected in the list with a red button.
-
To remove a discarded credential from the list, select it, and then click .
-
Click Enroll.
