If you are going to limit access to specific time periods or specific readers, set
up Time Zones (see page 61) and Access Profiles (see page 67) before you set
your users up.
If you have already set up users in a stand alone reader: You do not need to
add users; you can upload user information from the reader; see Getting User
Information from a Reader on page 99.
If you have been using one of our MS-DOS HandNet products (HandNet
or HandNet Plus): You do not need to add users; you can import them from
HandNet(+); see page 98.
If you only have one user to add, if you do not assign ID numbers
sequentially, if you are adding users with different access profiles, if you
want to fill in custom entries when adding the users, or if users choose
their own ID numbers: Add a single new user; see page 76.
If a user needs access without hand recognition: Add a single new user and
choose the Special Enrollment option. Before you do this, read Adding a User
Who Has Access Without Hand Recognition below.
If you have many new users with the same access profile and you want
automatically assigned ID numbers: Add multiple new users; see page 81.
If a user has severe arthritis, missing fingers, or other hand deformities that
keep the user's hand from being recognized, you can give the user access
without hand recognition (if you choose this, the reader still asks the user
to place a hand on the reader so it will not be apparent to others that hand
recognition is not required, but the reader does not check the image of the hand;
it gives access regardless of whose hand is placed there). Since bypassing
hand recognition gives you reduced security, only use this as a last resort.
Try these options first:
If the user only has a problem with the right hand: Enroll the user using
the left hand (the user will place the hand palm up on the reader).
If the user has all of his/her fingers and is just having trouble with
placing the hand consistently: On the Security screen in User
Properties, check Override the reader's reject threshold, and drag the
pointer to the far right (the Less Sensitive side). This causes the reader
to be more tolerant of what it considers a match for that user's hand.
If these options are not possible, or if you try them and they do not work, then
you will have to set the user up so that hand recognition is not required. To do
this, follow the steps below.
1. If you have already added this user, open the User window, click the user
once, press the DEL key (or pick Delete from the User menu), and confirm
that you want to delete the user.
2. Click the User menu and then click Add New.... This takes you to the first
screen of the New User Wizard.
3. Check the Special Enrollment box. Since this option does give lower
