Once a HandReader network is in operation the following commands are used to manage
and maintain the HandReader network.
1. Set Reader Operating Thresholds – Set the Reject and Number-of-Tries HandReader
operating thresholds to meet the site's security requirements. This is done through
the Security Menu.
2. System Management – Backup or Restore HandReader data and List the Users
authorized to use a HandReader. This is done through the Management Menu.
3. System Maintenance – Calibrate the HandReader, display HandReader Status, and
display Network Status. This is done through the Service Menu.
For documentation clarity, instructions for operating each of the menu commands are
presented in menu order, which is not necessarily programming order. Please keep this
in mind as you review the commands for all of the menu options.
The ID numbering system helps identify the user about to use the HandReader. ID
numbers are used when enrolling users. A properly designed ID numbering system
allows for quicker user recognition (through the use of the Set ID Length command) and
allows the assigning of a Duress code. A Duress code sends a silent alarm to a pre-
defined location when entered by a user. Use the following guidelines when designing an
ID numbering system.
Designing an ID numbering system is not necessary when using an external card reader
to enter the ID number. All ID information is provided by the card.
• Each user must have a unique ID number.
• ID numbers can be up to 10 digits long.
• For ease of memorization, make each number as short as possible. Generally
speaking, 4 digit or fewer ID numbers are easy to remember.
• Make all ID numbers the same length. This allows the Set ID Length command to be
used, automatically reading an ID number when the proper number of digits have
been entered. If different ID number lengths are used, a user must press the
identify when the complete ID number has been entered.
• To use the Duress feature, ID numbers must begin with one specific digit that has
been identified as the Duress code and this digit cannot be used as the first digit in
any of the user ID numbers. This means that in normal use a user enters his/her ID
number followed by the
code, the user's ID number, and the
used if the Duress feature is used.
