The reader LED behavior can be adjusted in .1 second increments to accommodate virtually any desired display sequence.
It is recommended to create a new reader type so that only the readers which require the custom LED function can be individually configured.
If the desired outcome is to effect all the readers for the system, simply make the changes for the existing in-use reader types rather than creating new reader types.
Implementing Custom Reader LED Functionality
The steps below outline the process of creating Custom Reader LED Functions.
- Edit the SCP the reader is attached to (Go | Hardware | SPCs)
- Select the Reader Display tab
- Select the Event you would like to change from the Reader Mode column
- Select a color for the On Color
- Select a color for the Off Color
- Adjust the On Time (seconds) to the duration the LED should be the On Color
- Adjust the Off Time (seconds) to the duration the LED should be the Off Color
- Change the Repeat Count to the number of times the On Time, Off Time, and Beep should occur
- Adjust the Beep Count to the desired number of beeps.
- Click Save
