How can I manually program a card on a ProxPad, LS2P or Max3 panel?

1. User number  = the number of the user in the list of users held internally by the controller. Controllers in the 212 and 232 series have the capacity to hold 120 users.  Users are "numbered" from 1 to120 in the case of a 212/232 keypad.  Other keypads and controllers may have higher or lower user capacity.  For example, the ProxPad can hold 2000 users and they will be numbered from 1 to 2000.
2. On all keypads and controllers, user number 1 is reserved for the Master User.  This user has complete control over programming of the keypad and this code should be kept secure and not used as a general entry code.
3. Some keypads may also have user number 2 reserved for a Supervisor User.  This user has the ability to add, change or delete users.  This user code should be kept secure and not be used as a general entry code.
4. The Master User cannot be a card only user.
5. Start adding users beginning at user number 3 or the next user number after the last user already programmed into the keypad or controller.  For example, if there are already 10 users, then start adding users at user number 13.  The Master User, Supervisor User and 10 users already in the system equals 12 users.  The next user number to add would be user 13.

# = the pound sign key to the right of the zero.

User type = the type of user being programmed.  A standard user will be a user type 1.  See the product documentation for a list of the different types of users available.

Code = up to a 6-digit number code to be assigned to the user.

Card pin = Usually a 5-digit number printed on the card or fob.

* = the star key to the left of the zero.

Present card = placing the access card against the reader to register the card.

Scenario 1 – Programming cards by presentation method

Cards can be programmed easily by presentation in the ProxPad, Max3 and the LS Locksets.   On the Max3, programming is done at the Door Control Module.  The information required is:

Card number

Desired user type

Existing user list

The following commands allow you to add cards by presentation.

Programming a card and code user by presentation.

     50 # user type # user number # code * code * * present card *.

Programming a card only user by presentation.

     50 # user type # user number # * * present card *.

Programming a code or card user by presentation.

     52 # user type # user number #  code * code * present card *.

Programming consecutive, card only users by presentation.

     53 # user type # starting user number # * * present card, present card,… *

Scenario 2 – Programming cards from the controller keypad manually.

Cards can be programmed manually on the ProxPad, Max3 and the LS2P Locksets.   On the Max3, programming is done at the Door Control Module.  The information required is:

First card number of a group of consecutively numbered cards.

Desired user type.

Existing user list.

Site code for the cards being programmed into the controller.

When programming cards or fobs manually, the site code must be entered into the controller before the users can be added.  To enter the site code use the following command.  This must be done whenever card users are added manually.

     32 # parameter # site code # **.

         Parameter to use with each type of controller.

            Proxpad = 2

            ProxpadPlus = 4

            ProxPadPlusIR = 4

            Max3 = 4

            LS2P Locksets = 4

The following commands will allow you to add cards manually after you have entered the command above to set the site code.

Programming a card only user manually.

     51 # user type # user number # *card pin  * card pin **.

Programming a batch of cards manually.  The card pin is the lowest card number of the group.

     ProxPad

          56 # total number of cards # starting user number #  card pin * card pin **.

     ProxPadPlus

          57 # total number of cards # starting user number #  card pin * card pin **.

     ProxPadPlusIR

          57 # total number of cards # starting user number #  card pin * card pin **.

     Max3

          57 # total number of cards # starting user number #  card pin * card pin **.

     LS2P

          57 # total number of cards # starting user number #  card pin * card pin **.
