Use identification media in multiple locking systems

In certain cases, it a good idea to use several locking systems (see Locking systems).

In such a case, it is practical if selected users can use the same identification medium in multiple locking systems.

Example: A caretaker needs to be granted access to doors in different locking systems.

He does not need to carry multiple identification media around. Instead, you can add the caretaker’s identification medium to each locking system, but then synchronise the same transponder.

• G2 transponders can store up to four locking systems.
• Cards can also store several locking systems, depending on the available memory and card configuration (see Card templates). You no longer make card configurations in AXM Classic across projects, but across different locking systems instead (see Enable cards or transponders). This has two advantages:
• Multiple locking systems on a single card are not a problem – treat an existing locking system as an external application and select free sectors or app IDs for the additional locking system (MIFARE Classic (card already used) or MIFARE DESFire (card already in use)).
• You can even use different card configurations in your locking systems provided you use the same card type (Classic/DESFire).

Transponders are easier to operate than cards in multiple locking systems since you do not need to take sectors or app IDs into account in this case.

There are two ways to reuse an identification medium:

• Reuse identification medium in the same project
• Reusing identification medium in other projects/databases
