How Do I Presentation Enroll Credentials In Doors.NET?
1.0 Introduction
The Doors.NET software offers presentation enrollment functionality from any reader on the system. Presentation enrollment allows you to enroll a card from a card read (simply by presenting the card at the reader). The imprint, facility code (where applicable) and the internal card number are detected automatically. This feature is very useful when you have a random, non-sequential block of cards to enroll or where you don't know what the card facility number is.
