Creating an identification medium

Your users can use identification media to engage and disengage locking devices (also see Identification media, locking devices and the locking plan).

NOTE

Activating the PIN code keypad

AXM Lite also supports the PIN code keypad but it is not displayed for your locking system by default.

  1. Activate the PIN code keypad for your locking system manually if required (see Enabling PIN code keypads).

In the interests of best practice (see Best practice: setting up the locking system), SimonsVoss recommends that you configure authorisation groups and schedules/time groups:

  1. AXM Lite open.
  1. Click on the New transponder button.
  2. The window for creating an identification medium will open.
  4. Enter a description if required.
  5. If the identification medium needs time-controlled authorisations: Activate the Time group check box.
  6. Select the time group from the Time group drop-down list (e.g. Time group).
  7. Enter the surname and first name of the person who will receive the identification medium in the Last name and First name fields.
  8. The surname and first name will be displayed in the matrix at a later point in time.
  9. The personnel number is generated automatically.

    Personnel number formula or manual entry

    The AXM Lite generates personnel numbers based on the following formula: PN-1, PN-2, PN-X. The abbreviation PN can be changed if required (see Changing automatic numbering).

    Alternatively, you can enter personnel numbers manually:

    1. Activate the Auto check box.
    2. The Personnel number field is activated.
    3. Enter the personnel number in the Personnel number field.
  12. Use the Next > button to switch to the next tab or complete the entries with the Finish button.
  14. If locking devices need to open twice as long for this identification medium (doubling to max. 25 s): Activate the Long opening check box.
  15. If locking devices should not beep for this identification medium: Activate the No acoustic opening signal check box.
  16. If the locking devices on which the identification medium was used need to be saved on the identification medium: Activate the Audit trail check box.
  17. If the transponder is not to be used immediately: Activate the as of now check box. Then enter an activation date.
  18. If the transponder is only to be used for a limited period: Activate the Without expiration date check box. Then enter an expiration date.
  20. Use the Next > button to switch to the next tab or complete the entries with the Finish button.
  22. Use to sort/filter the displayed entries if required (see Sorting and filtering).
  23. Select the required authorisation groups in the right column (Ctrl+click for single groups or Shift+click for multiple groups).
  24. Use to move the selected authorisation groups only or to move all displayed authorisation groups.
  25. The identification medium is assigned to the highlighted authorisation groups.
