of mobile credentials is a very simple process. In this guide, we
will walk you through setting up and confi guring the necessary to
get started.
There are several major components in the Linear BluePass
ecosystem solution illustrated in this guide:
1. The Linear BluePass Cloud – This is a web-based portal used
by the dealer/installer/facility administrator to manage mobile
credentials.
Portal functionality includes the following for issuing and
managing electronic credentials:
a. Redeem store, and distribute your Credential-To-Go™
cards for mobile credential credits.
b. Defi ne top level Organizations in which end-users have
access to via mobile credentials.
c. Issue mobile credentials to end-users for access to an
Organization.
d. Manage existing BLE credentials, their associated
Wiegand IDs, and view reports on the number of credential
credits remaining for issuance.

Mounting the Reader
Mounting Location
If the unit is used to control a door or pedestrian gate, locate the
unit as near as practical to the entry point. If the unit is mounted
on or in a wall adjacent to the entry point, ensure the wall is
sturdy. The repeated shock and vibration from a slamming door
or spring-loaded pedestrian gate must be isolated from the unit.
Note: Placing a unit directly on a moving door or gate will
damage the reader's sensitive functionality.
Choose a well-lit location near the controlled opening. Wiring
access for power, network, and earth ground must be available
to the mounting location. This reader supports both single-gang
and mullion-mount applications and is intended for both indoor
and outdoor installations.
The installation and wiring of this reader must be done in
accordance with the National Electric Code and ANSI/NFPA 70.
