The feature setup varies slightly depending on the hardware type being used - so the following setup instructions are covered for each hardware type:

3.0 Using PXL-500W Controllers 

The following steps explain how to setup Card + PIN Verification when using the PXL-500W controller type (to configure a connected keypad to operate in Card + PIN mode).

1. From within Doors.NET, Open the hardware tree via Setup >> Hardware Setup >> All.
2. Locate and double-click the controller that has the keypad connected to it.
3. Ensure Advanced View is enabled for the controller properties. (To enable Advanced View go to View >> Advanced View and then enter Keri10 as the password).
4. In the reader (keypad) properties verify that the correct Manufacturer Model has been selected. For example; 'P-640H'.
   
   
   
   
5. Set a Dual Verification Schedule, for example Always - if you want the reader to always require Card + PIN.
6. Save the reader properties.
7. Right-click the reader in the hardware tree, select Mode >> Card + PIN.
   
   
   
   
8. The cardholder will now have to present their card and then enter their PIN.

4.0 Using NXT 2D/4D Controllers

 

The following steps explain how to setup Dual Verification when using the NXT controller type (to configure a connected keypad to operate in Card + PIN mode).

1. From within Doors.NET go to Setup >> Hardware Setup >> All.
   
   
   
2. Highlight the controller.
3. Ensure Advanced View is enabled for the controller properties. (To enable Advanced View go to View >> Advanced View and then enter Keri10 as the password).

4. Scroll down the controller properties until you find Memory Options. Set the PIN Digits to how many digits the cardholder needs to enter for their PIN.
   
   
   
   

5. Save the controller properties .

6. Next, highlight the reader and verify the correct Manufacturer Model has been selected.
   
   
   
   
7. Select a Dual Verification Schedule (such as Always if you always want Card + PIN to be used for access).
   
   
   
   

8. Save the reader properties Save icon.

9. The cardholder will now have to present their card and then enter their PIN.

Note: When using standard NXT there is a setting called Second Credential Timeout. By default this is set to 10 seconds. This is the amount of time between a valid card read and the required PIN. If the valid PIN is not entered within this time then an Access Denied - PIN Timeout message is generated and displayed in live events.

5.0  Using NXT-MSC 2D/4D Controllers 

The following steps explain how to setup Dual Verification when using the NXT-MSC controller type (to configure a connected keypad to operate in Card + PIN mode).

1. From within Doors.NET, Open the hardware tree via Setup >> Hardware Setup >> All.
2. Locate and double-click the controller that has the keypad connected to it.
3. Ensure Advanced View is enabled for the controller properties. (To enable Advanced View go to View >> Advanced View and then enter Keri10 as the password).
4. Scroll down the controller properties until you find Memory Options.
5. Set the PIN digits value to the number of digits that will be used for the PINs.
6. Save the controller properties .
7. You will be prompted to perform a reset so click Yes to proceed with the reset.
8. Highlight the reader and verify the correct Manufacture Model has been selected, for example 'P640H'.
9. Select a Dual Verification Schedule (such as Always if you always want Card + PIN to be used for access). If you set this to Always then the keypad will always require a valid card read followed by a valid PIN.
   
   
   
   
10. Save the reader properties .
11. The cardholder will now have to present their card and then enter their PIN.

6.0  Configure a Cardholder with a PIN

1. From within Doors.NET go to Home >> Cardholders to display the cardholder list.
   
   
   
   
2. Open a cardholder record (a record that already has an active Wiegand credential assigned to it).
3. Locate the PIN field and enter a PIN for the cardholder to use.
   
   
   
   
4. Save the cardholder settings.
5. The cardholder can now gain access if they present their card and then input their associated PIN.
   
   

 7.0 Dual Verification Advanced Settings 

There are various advanced settings available for Card + PIN when using NXT-MSC controllers. To locate these settings select the keypad from the hardware tree and view the reader properties on the right.

• Wrong PIN Violation Counting - This option will lockout usage of the card for a specified amount of time if the PIN is entered incorrectly a certain number of times.
  
  
• Access Denied Counters - Instructs the controller to count the number of access denied events. Additional events will be generated once the threshold limit has been reached.
  
  
• Enable Counting Wrong PIN violations (While in Card + PIN Mode) - Counts the number of invalid PIN entries at the keypad when the keypad is set to Card + PIN.
  
  
• De-activate PIN if wrong PIN Entered - Instructs the controller to automatically de-activate a card if an invalid PIN is entered while in Card + PIN mode. To re-activate the card again you have to highlight the controller in the hardware tree and click Update Network. The card will NOT re-activate when the reset counter time has passed.
  
  
• Threshold Limit - Determines how many wrong PINs can be entered before a PIN violation event is generated. For example set this to 3.
  
  
• Reset Counter After - Determines how many seconds will pass before resetting the access denied counters.
