Reader Config property has five options. This table lists the options and describes how they may be used, depending on whether the reader
is assigned to an intrusion zone or to an access device, such as a door, elevator, or floor.
| Option: | Assigned to: | What you do: | What the system does: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reader Only | Access Point | Enter Credential by card swipe for badge validation. | Checks credential number to authorize or deny access. |
| Intrusion Zone | Enter Credential by card swipe for badge validation. | Checks credential number to authorize or deny arm or disarm of intrusion zone. | |
| Reader Plus Keypad | Access Point | Enter Credential by card swipe and PIN by keypad for badge and PIN validation. | Checks both the credential number and the Person PIN to authorize or deny access. |
| Intrusion Zone | Enter Credential by card swipe AND Person PIN by keypad for badge and PIN validation. | Checks both the credential number and the Person PIN to authorize or deny arm or disarm of the intrusion zone. | |
| Reader or Keypad | Access Point | Enter Credential by card swipe or by keypad entry. Complete credential number is required, including any leading zeros. You may create a custom format to use a shorter, more user-friendly credential here. | Checks credential number to authorize or deny access.

If you use a 16-bit Wiegand format, and want to allow access using only an entry (not intrusion) keypad, assign a more convenient credential number. You can then create a badge with this format and assign the badge to the person. You can assign more than one badge to a person.
