Number Of Users To Add And Starting Id - Schlage PIB300 User Manual

Adding and Maintaining Users
Number of
Users to Add
and Starting ID
82
After you choose to add multiple users at once on the first screen of the New
User Wizard, you see this screen.
Number of users to create: Enter the number of users you want to add.
User ID to start with: Enter the starting user ID number. Use the number of
digits that you would like for the final ID. For example, if you always want
a five-digit ID number and you want to start with 1, enter 00001 rather
than just 1. If you enter 00001, HandNet will use 00002 next, then 00003,
and so on. If HandNet finds that a number is already used, if will skip that
number and use the next available number. For example, if you enter 1000
as the starting number and 1000 through 1020 are all used, HandNet will
automatically skip these numbers and start at 1021. When the program
adds the numbers at the end of the process, it lets you know if it had to
skip any existing ID numbers.
However, do not begin an ID with zero (0) if you are going to enroll
the user with the command menus on the reader. HandNet lets you
enroll a user by either picking Enroll from the Reader menu, or by using
the Command menus on the reader. If you are going to use the Command
menus on the reader, the ID number should not begin with zero (0). While
HandNet distinguishes between 5 and 0005, the process of adding a user
from the reader command menu does not. This means that if you create
a user with an ID of 0005 in HandNet and try to enroll that user with the
command menus on the reader, when you type 0005, the reader thinks you
are enrolling User Five, and this will not correspond with 0005 in HandNet.
If you are going to use Enroll on the Reader menu, you can begin an ID
with zero (if you are never going to begin an ID with zero, this might be a
good choice for a duress code if you use one; see page 47 for more about
duress codes).
