Renaming a
Reader
There are two parts to setting up readers: 1) physically setting the readers up
and connecting them to each other and to the computer; and 2) adding the site
and readers in HandNet. This manual only explains adding the site and readers
in HandNet. For help setting up and wiring readers, see the manual that came
with the readers.
Before you add readers, you must set up the site they are connected to; see
page 34.
If you have been using readers without HandNet and you want to get users from
the reader(s), follow these steps BEFORE enabling the site and reader:
1. Pick Settings from the View menu.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. Check the box by Do not delete unauthorized enrollments (see page 23 for
more about what this option does; after you have gotten your users from
the reader, you may want to check this box again).
If you enable the site and the reader without changing this setting, HandNet
regards all users in the reader as unauthorized (because they are not in
HandNet yet) and deletes them. Once it deletes them, there is no way to get
them back without adding and enrolling the users again.
Most options on the Reader menu are disabled until you select a reader.
To select a single reader: Click that reader in the list.
To select multiple readers that are together on the list: Click the first reader
in the group, hold the SHIFT key down, and click the last reader that you
want to select.
To select multiple readers that are not together on the list: Click the first
reader to select, hold the CTRL key down, and click each other reader that
you want to select.
You might rename a reader if you discovered that the original name was not
clear or if you changed the purpose of the areas the reader gave access to.
Renaming the reader does not change any of its properties and does not
require you to set anything up again; it only changes the name that appears in
the lists on the screen and in reports that you generate.
To rename a reader:
1. If the Network window is not open, pick Network from the View menu (or
press CTRL-N).
2. Click the reader in the right pane of the Network window.
3. Pick Rename from the Reader menu (you could also right click and pick
Rename, or you could double-click the reader and change the name in
the Reader Properties).
