Handling defective identification media - AXM Classic

Identification media with undefined software status.

• Identification media with external damage (e.g. scratched).
• Identification media which needs to be replaced as a precaution (e.g. wet).

Identification media with permanent damage (e.g. burnt) for which a replacement is required.

Employee’s transponder has fallen into the pool.

Consequence: transponder works but at risk of failure due to exposure to water.

Employee’s transponder has fallen into a camp fire.

Consequence: transponder melted and permanently damaged.

Repairing a card/transponder (resynchronising)

1. Reset (= TID available in database again)
2. Resynchronise (= TID is immediately written back onto the same identification medium)

The identification medium functions as before after it is repaired.

Resetting and replacing a card/transponder

1. Reset (= TID flagged as defective in database and removed from original identification medium)
2. Synchronise replacement identification medium with new TID

After the reset, the TID is no longer contained in the identification medium. The identification medium can therefore no longer be used. However, it can be re-synchronised. A new TID is written onto the identification medium.

Deleting and replacing a card/transponder

1. Delete (= TID flagged as defective in database) and removed from project
2. Synchronise replacement identification medium with the new TID

It is obviously not possible to reset a permanently damaged identification medium because it is no longer accessible. This means the TID remains in the identification medium.

Deleting allows you to “clean up” your project. The TID marked as "defective" will remain permanently stored in the database regardless and will not be reassigned.

You can also hide defective or disabled identification media as an alternative to deletion (see Hiding deactivated and defective identification media).

Permanently damaged identification media (e.g. burnt) for which no replacement is required (e.g. employee left company)

Take card/transponder out of use and leave in project

1. Flag as taken out of operation (= TID flagged as defective in database)

The permanently damaged identification medium retains its TID but the TID is flagged as “defective”. New identification media cannot be created with this TID.

This means that the same TID cannot brought into circulation twice.

Taking a card/transponder out of use and deleting it from project

1. Delete (= TID flagged as defective in database) and removed from project

Deleting allows you to “clean up” your project. The TID marked as "defective" will remain permanently stored in the database regardless and will not be reassigned.

You can also hide defective or disabled identification media as an alternative to deletion (see Hiding deactivated and defective identification media).
