Each RFID card comes with a unique ID and the terminals will read from the numbers and match it with the card. Enrollment of RFID is easy. Press Menu > User Manage > Enroll User/Admin > Reg RFID > OK > Do you want to do new enrollment? > OK > Insert the user ID > OK > Wave the card to the induction area and the machine will display the card number on the LCD along with the User ID > OK > The terminal will display User ID-C meaning that the ID is enrolled with card > OK(Save) Verification Using RFID Card Only In case you want the terminal to read only RFID card, you can configure this selection by selecting RF on Group VerType under Access Options. Multi-verification Methods Using RFID The terminals allow multi-verification where a user is required to use two or more veri- fication methods before he is allowed access to certain areas. Refer to Chapter 4: User, page 19 under Types of Verification Method for more information about different combinations for the terminals and how to configure them. Basically, in order to select different verification methods, make sure that you have reg- istered or enrolled that method in the terminal for the said User ID before any selection is made.
