A second method for controlling access to the command menus is through the use of
Authority Levels. Authority Levels control which command menus a user is allowed to
access; the higher the authority level a user is granted, the greater the number of menus
the user may access. Assign Authority Levels to users according to the types of tasks to
which they are assigned.
• Level 0 is for a user who does not need access to any of the command menus.
• Level 1 provides access to the Service command menu.
• Level 2 adds access to the Setup command menu to all previous access levels.
• Level 3 adds access to the Management command menu to all previous access levels.
• Level 4 adds access to the Enrollment command menu to all previous access levels.
• Level 5 adds access to the Security command menu to all previous access levels.
The HandReader automatically assigns Authority Level 0 to each ID number enrolled.
Until a user has been assigned to Authority Level 5, every user with Authority Level 0 can
access every menu. This is done to ensure that the first person enrolled is able to access
all the menus to perform all the programming required to support the HandReader. Once
a user has been assigned to Authority Level 5, all other user authority levels are applied
as per the list above.
The first person enrolled should be designated the System Administrator and should
change his/her Authority Level to 5. This protects the integrity of the system by enacting
the Authority Level rules described in the list above. Schlage Biometrics strongly
recommends assigning at least two users to Authority Level 5 to ensure that more than
one person has the authority to access all menus and all commands.
When setting up HandReader operations there is a general programming/operations
order that should be followed.
1. Design an ID Numbering System
Define the format for user ID assignments. A properly designed ID numbering system
makes the HandReader easier and faster to use.
2. Enter a Command Menu
Enter a Command Menu and begin HandReader programming per the commands in
that menu.
3. Enroll all Supervisory Staff
Enroll yourself and the supervisors who will have responsibility for HandReader
management. This is done through the Enrollment Menu.
4. Set Supervisory Staff Authority Levels
Assign Authority Levels to the supervisors with specific HandReader management
responsibilities. This is done through the Security Menu.
5. Set Reader Site Parameters
Set the reader's Operating Parameters to meet site specific needs and usage. This is
done through the Setup Menu.
6. Train and Enroll Users
Train each user regarding HandReader usage and then Enroll each user. This is done
through the Enrollment Menu.
