Chapter 3: First-Time NT500 Offline System Installation & Setup
3 – 12
Notes
The look ahead feature lets you program a magnetic stripe
reader to accept an access card whose encoded issue code is
higher than the current issue code recorded for the card in the
lock’s database. The setting for the look ahead feature deter-
mines how many numbers higher the access card’s encoded
issue code can be than the issue code on record for the card.
For example, if you enter 2 as the look ahead setting in a
device’s configuration, the device will accept an access card
whose encoded issue code is one or two numbers higher
than the issue code on record for the card (as long as the
issue code is within the acceptable issue code range). The
device would accept an access card whose encoded issue
code is 3, even if the current issue code on record for the card
is 1.
When the device accepts an access card with an encoded
issue code different from the current issue code on record for
the card, the device automatically updates its records to
reflect the encoded issue code.
7 Enter an offset value.
This value will be added to the issue code when the New
Issue button on the Cards tab of Cardholder window is
selected.
8 Enter a range value.
The range represents the highest-numbered issue code
that the devices should accept. The devices will reject any
card with issue codes higher than this number.
For example, if the devices should reject any card with an
issue number higher than 8 and the issue code for the
selected card format has one digit, type 8.
9 If the card format includes an even number parity bit, click
the Number Even Parity checkbox.
10 If the card format includes an odd number parity bit, click
the Number Odd Parity checkbox.
11 Click OK.
The new card format is included in the Card Format list on
the left side of the window.
After defining card format(s) the system access must be
defined.
