Enable cards or transponders

When you created your locking system, you decided in the Type drop-down menu which type of identification media should be used in your locking system:

Circumstances may have changed in the meantime and you would now like to use cards in your locking system, for example. You thus switch your locking system from active (= transponder only) to hybrid (= transponder + cards). This is not a problem with AXM Classic as you can simply activate additional cards or transponders here.

Please note that you can only address a limited number of locking devices with cards when cards are enabled at a later date (see Cards and locking device IDs).

You will not have this problem with transponders enabled at a later date.

Enabling cards

The following example describes how you can also use cards in an exclusively transponder-based locking system. When we say cards, we are also referring to other RFID identification media, such as smart tags or RFID inlays. The MC1000L_AV template is used in the example.

  1. AXM Classic open.
  2. At least one locking system created (see Create locking system).
  1. Click on the orange AXM icon .
  2. AXM bar opens.
  4. Select the Locking Systems entry in the SETTINGS group.
  6. The Locking Systems tab with a list of all locking systems in the database will open.
  8. Use to sort/filter the displayed entries if required (see Sorting and filtering).

  10. The Locking system window will open.
  12. Select your locking system type from the Type drop-down menu: Transponder only, Transponders & cards or Cards only.
