How PROXIMITY and CARDLOCK are different

All system settings and card management are implemented by using cards at the readers using an ingenious method invented by Paxton access. The end user can learn all he needs to know about the system in minutes. PROXIMITY and CARDLOCK are so easy and intuitive to manage that even infrequent users remember how. This has been achieved without compromising a powerful range of features.

How do PROXIMITY and CARDLOCK systems work

System Set up
Once a system is installed, a Function card called the Enrolement card is used once at each reader. This gives the readers a unique site code and only cards that have been issued with the encrypted code for that particular site will ever be valid to work there.

Card issuing
Cards are supplied in wallets. Each pocket in the wallet contains a User card and a Shadow card. To issue a card the administrator removes both cards from the wallet and the user is given their User card. The User card is ready to use and will provide access immediately. The administrator does not have to leave their desk to enable the cards at the readers - they are valid straight out of the wallet.

Voiding a lost card
When a card is not returned, the administrator simply looks for the user's name on the relevant Shadow card in the wallet. This card is taken from the wallet and used at each reader. This voids the lost User card which can no longer be used on the system. This method allows any individual card - even if it is lost - to be removed from the system.

Re-enrolling a found card
The Enrolment card is taken from the wallet and used at each reader followed immediately by the User card. The User card is now valid once more. The system manager always remembers these simple procedures.

Simplicity with powerful features

For the majority of installations the validating and voiding of cards as described above will be the only knowledge required by the system user. the systems are also suitable for multi-door sites due to the unique and simple method of colour zoning. They are also suitable for larger numbers of users because the cards do not have to be enrolled at each door - they are automatically valid when used from the wallet - and because of the ease and speedy method of voiding individuals with the use of the shadow card. For these reasons PROXIMITY AND CARDLOCK are often used for clubs and other larger and multi-door applications where in the past a network solution would have been required.
