Magnetic Stripe Credential Configurations
Before Magnetic cards can be used in the system, you must configure AMS to accept the card types and settings. Figure 77 shows the Magnetic Stripe Credential Configurations Window. Default settings will be sufficient for most systems.
Most users will use Track 2 cards and will not need to set up any type of advanced card parameters. Wi-Q AMS default Expiration Date, Segment Code, and Issue Number settings to Not Used, and no other changes need to be made.
Stanley Security Solutions currently stocks and provides Track 2 or Track 3 magnetic cards. These cards conform to ISO standards and can be ordered pre­encoded or blank. The system can be used with either Track 1, Track 2, or 3 cards, however you can only encode 1 type within the same segment.
108
Figure 77 Magnetic Stripe Credential Configurations
If you must make changes to the default settings, click Add to create a new Magnetic Stripe card configuration, and give a name to your configuration in the Configuration name field.
109
Credential Settings
Wi-Q AMS can be configured to accept coding from existing Track 1(210 BPI), Track 2 (75 BPI) or Track 3 (210 BPI) cards as long as the code does not exceed the maximum number of characters for that track and/or controller. Magnetic cards are configured as Track 2 by default. Perform the following steps to change to change the segment track setting for encoding cards:
1 In the Magnetic Stripe Credential Configurations window, click the Card Track
Information link at the bottom of the window.
2 The Define Magnetic Stripe Card Track Information window opens. Specify the
desired track from the dropdown menu. Then click Finish.
3 Click OK to exit the Magnetic Stripe Credential Configurations window.
4 In the Segment tab, click Update at the bottom right to update your segment.
Card Track Limits
Wi-Q AMS is flexible and may accept coding from existing Track 2 or Track 3 cards as long as they do not exceed the maximum number of characters for that track and/or controller. These characters include any digits and field separators, however they exclude the starting and ending sentinels. Refer to the Stanley Security Knowledge Base or contact Technical Support for controller hardware track limits.
110
Character codes and counts
;
The software recognizes data on a magnetic card stripe using ANSI standard codes formatted to either a field separator or character count. Following is a brief description of each type.
Field Separator — Field Separator (FS) character, generally represented as an equal sign (=) to separate two independent data fields. A card using this method might have the owner’s individual ID encoded at the beginning of the stripe fol­lowed by the FS character then the global segment ID. The fields can be in either order, or there can be more than two fields, which could be required for compat­ibility with pre-existing systems, and any one of them can be set up as User ID, Segment ID, Card Issue ID, or Expiration Date.
Following is an example of encoded data using field separators on Track 2.
Figure 78 Data Fields
1576=3492657182=0=060113
FIELD 3: Card Issue ID 0 = First Issue
FIELD 2: User ID Number (Max 19 digits) ID Number = 3492657182
FIELD 1: Facility Code = 1576
FIELD 4: Card Expiration Date
060113 = MMDDYY = June 1, 2013
111
Character Count — You can set up a character count from the beginning of each
;
Facility Code = 1576
ID. For example, the Segment ID could start at the beginning of the data stripe, digit count of 1. If the Segment ID has eight digits, the User ID would be set to start at digit count of 9. This method requires all data groups with exception of the last one, to have a fixed number of digits. Following is an example of encoded data using character counts on Track 2.
Figure 79 Character count fields
157634926571820060113
Card Expiration Date Starts at Character 16 060113 = MMDDYY = June 1, 2013
Card Issue ID Starts at Character 15 0 = First Issue
User ID Number Starts at Character 5 ID Number = 3492657182
Facility Code Starts at Character 1
Note If you are not using the default settings for Magnetic Stripe Credential
Configurations, make sure that Expiration Date Position Type, Facility Code Position Type, Issue Number Position Type and User ID Position Type are all set to either must be set to “Field” (Field Separator) or “Character” (Character Count); you cannot mix types.

Users Tab Overview
Figure 85 User s Tab
In the Users Tab, all users currently in the system display in the list on the left. If you have a large number of users, you can use the alphabet buttons on the far left to quickly sort through the list. Users Categories display on the right. By default, these categories display as shown; however you can click the A-Z sort button to display categories alphabetically. Here you can add or remove users from the sys­tem, set their credentials, and include any personal information needed to identify that person in the system.
If an ellipsis button displays when you select a field, additional parameters are available for selection. From here you will define user name and address informa­tion and access parameters such as readers, user groups, credentials, PIN, and so on.
Note If you see a need for additional fields to define for your Users, contact your System
Administrator. They can add more fields to the Users Tab, or create additional User Fields unique to your organization.
122
The following sections describe each category in the Users Tab, and present steps
for adding and configuring users in the system.
ID — When you add a user, the system automatically assigns them a unique ID and displays the number in the User ID field.
Name — Provides entry fields for Users’ first and last name and middle initial.
Adding a User Name
1 In the Users Tab, select the Add User button. In the ID category, the system will
display a new unique User ID.
2 In the First Name line, highlight and replace the default text (example: User1)
with a first name.
3 In the Last Name field, highlight and replace the default text
(“_New”) with a last name. Add a Middle Initial if needed.
Note The Update button will flash to remind you to update your settings. You can update
each time you add a user, or wait until all user information is added. The software will automatically update your settings when you exit the Users tab.
User Defined Categories and Fields— If your segment has been configured with user defined categories and fields, such as Address, City, Zip Code, enter the information as configured.
Associations — In this category, you associate Users with Readers and User Groups. This task defines which readers will recognize the User’s requests for entry and exit. If User Groups have been created for your organization, these will also be available for selection from the Associations category.
To associate a user with readers
1 In the Associations category, click inside the Readers field, and select the el-
lipsis button at the far right.
2 The Readers of User dialog box opens and displays a list of readers available to
the User.
Figure 86 Readers of User

3 Select the reader(s) from Readers in Segment.
4 Select Add <<. The selected readers are moved from the Readers in Segment
list to the Readers Associated with User list on the left. You can associate a user with any number of readers.
Figure 87 Selecting a reader to associate with a user
5 Select OK to save your settings and return to the Users Tab.
User Groups
If User Groups have been created for your segment, these will already be as­sociated with readers. For example, a User Group may have been defined for Laboratory Building 1. Laboratory Building1 might have six readers. By assigning the User to the Laboratory Building 1 Users Group, they will automatically be as­sociated with all the readers in that group.
A User Group may also be defined as a Timezone Group. Timezone User Groups further define access levels for the Master Timezone. You can restrict access of certain groups of employees to a specific time period. For example, you may have a housekeeping group designated as a Timezone Group with restricted access to dormitories from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., weekdays only. You would then assign Users from the housekeeping department to this group. Steps to add users to User Groups are presented in the following section. For more information about creat­ing Timezone Groups, see “Timezone User Group Collections” on page 142.
124
Perform the following steps to add a user to a User Group.
To add a user to a User Group
1 When adding or editing a User, in the Associations Category, click in the User
Groups field and click the ellipsis button. The User Groups of User dialog box opens.
Figure 88 User Groups of User
2 Select the group(s) to associate with this user and click the Add << button. The
groups are added to the User of Groups list.
3 Select OK to save your selections and return to the Users Tab. You can add or
change User Groups for a user any time by returning to this list.
Credential Settings
Wi-Q AMS tracks individual requests for access or exit from the segment by their unique credentials, and each request is recorded as a transaction in the database for reference. Whether your organization uses keypad Controllers or card readers, each user will be assigned a unique credential number. Under Credential Set­tings, you will enter the credential ID and number, select a credential type, and set additional parameters related to the credential type. You can add another level of security by combining an individual’s credential with a personal ID number (PIN). If your organization requires a PIN, you will enter them here. Credential setup is a two-step process: First you will select the credential type to be used, then you
125
will register the credential.
Keypad Type — The default credential type in AMS is Keypad. When you add a user to the system, the software assigns them a unique keypad credential num­ber, then automatically registers it with the system. If your segment uses only keypads, once you add the new user name, you can skip to Adding PINs and Expirations Dates.
Card Type — If your segment uses card type credentials, you must select the card type, enter the appropriate settings, and then register the credential number with the system.
To select the card type
1 In the Users Tab, Credentials line, select the ellipsis button. The User Creden-
tials Setup dialog box opens. The credential types are listed on the left and the categories available for each type are listed on the right.

you may type in the user’s credential number. Click Finish. You can change the credential number at a later date if needed.
5 Now you are ready to register the credential.
Note If the credential type you need is not in the list of card types on the left, you can
add one. See “Adding a Credential Type” on page 131.
Credentials Deactivation Date — You can define whether a user’s credentials can be automatically de-activated based on an expiration date. This is useful, for example, when entering credentials for a temporary employee or contractor. If the credential can expire, select True from the drop-down list next to the Credentials have Deactivation Date field, and then enter the de-activation date in the Creden-
127
tials Deactivation Date field. If the credential cannot be de-activated, select False from the drop-down list. The default deactivation date is 26 years to ensure a user’s credential is not inadvertently deactivated.
Registering the Credential
When you click on the Number field below the Credential category and select the ellipsis button, the Specify the Credential Number dialog box opens. From here, you can enter the credential number manually, scan the user’s card with a scan­ning device connected to your computer, or specify a reader where the user will scan their card. Steps to register each type of card are presented in the next few sections.
Note If you use the reader scan method, the card used must be unassigned.
