Chapter 3: First-Time NT500 Offline System Installation & Setup
3 – 7
Notes
Defining the system
Overview
It is best to take time to plan what doors, time profiles, and
individuals need to be included in your access management
scheme.
To define an NT500 system, you need to configure:
Organization options
Time and mode profiles
Hardware
Access groups
Cardholders
Operators
Setting up organization options
Card format
After successful software installation, the first task in setting
up your access control scheme is to define the card formats
used at your site. The term card is used in this guide to refer
to cards, tokens, or fobs, all of which can be presented to a
reader to unlock the door. The card must be valid (known to
the system, allow access to the area and not presented out-
side a permitted time profile).
The card format you use is determined by the type of readers
in your access system (proximity, magnetic stripe, or dual
validation).
To define the card formats for your system
1 From the Welcome Screen, select Set Organization
Options or Tools > Options on the Main menu.
The Organization Options window appears.
2 From the left side of the Organization Options window,
highlight Card Format.
3 Click Add
A warning message may appear notifying you that chang-
ing the card format order affects the way cards are inter-
preted and will require a database download to all control
panels.
