How do I use my Enrollment Station?

The Enrollment Station is a device used to enroll HID format proximity cards (up to 40 bits). This device connects to the PC using a USB or serial COM port connection. It allows you to read the raw card data directly from an HID proximity card and store it in the database so you can export it to the door controller. This is helpful if you do not know the exact format of the HID proximity cards you want to assign to a user. The raw data received by the Enrollment Station is the exact data the controller reads from an HID proximity card when presented to a card reader. It then uses this data to determine whether or not a user is allowed access through the door.

Use the following steps to enroll a card into the database using the Enrollment Station:

1. Select Enrollment Station as the Card Format.

2. Specify the Com Port the Enrollment Station is connected to (if not already defined).

3.S elect the "Get Card Data From Enrollment Station" button.

4. Present the card to the proximity antenna of the Enrollment Station. After presenting the card, the Enrollment Station reads the raw data, imports it and displays it in the Raw Data field. In addition, the message Enrollment Successful is displayed. You can now save the user.

Note: The Enrollment Station format can also be used to enter the raw data from a proximity card with an unknown format, even if you don't have an Enrollment Station. To do this, you must get the raw data off the card by enrolling the card into your controller through the card reader, then importing the door settings (refer to the Import Door Settings section). When the data is imported, copy down the raw card data stored in the user location you programmed the card into and enter that exact data into the Raw Data field. This method does not apply to LS2\P or prox.pad plus IR products.
