Chapter 11 User Management
To improve the system security, the administrator should create different account for different user, and assign different permissions to the user. To avoid different people sharing the same user account, we recommend you manage the user accounts periodically.
11.1 Add User
The super user and administrator can add new users, and assign different permissions for different users if needed. Perform this task to add an user account. Steps
Note The user account you registered to log in the software is set as the super user. 1. Enter the User Management module. 2. Click Add User to show user information area. 3. Select the user type from the drop-down list.
Administrator The administrator account has all permissions by default, and can modify the passwords and permissions of all operators and its own.
Operator The operator account has no permission by default and you can assign the permissions manually. An operator can only change the passwords of its own account and the accounts which are added by it.
4. Enter the user name, password, and confirm password as desired.
Caution The password strength of the device can be automatically checked. We highly recommend you change the password of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three kinds of following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you change your password regularly, especially in the high security system, changing the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product. Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user. 5. Check the checkboxes to assign the permissions to the created user. 6. Optional: Click Default Value to restore the default permissions of this user.

Wiegand Data Wiegand Data = Valid Data + Parity Data
Total Length Wiegand data length.
Transportation Rule 4 bytes. Display the combination types of valid data. The example displays the combination of Card ID and Manufacturer Code. The valid data can be single rule, or combination of multiple rules.
Parity Mode Valid parity for Wiegand data. You can select either odd parity or even parity.
Odd Parity Start Bit, and Length If you select Odd Parity, these items are available. If the odd parity start bit is 1, and the length is 12, then the system will start odd parity calculation from bit 1. It will calculate 12 bits. The result will be in bit 0. (Bit 0 is the first bit.)
135
iVMS-4200 AC Client User Manual
Even Parity Start Bit, and Length If you select Even Parity, these items are available. If the even parity start bit is 12, and the length is 12, then the system will start even parity calculation from bit 12. It will calculate 12 bits. The result will be in the last bit. XOR Parity Start Bit, Length per Group, and Total Length If you select XOR Parity, these items are available. Depending on the table displayed above, the start bit is 0, the length per group is 4, and the total length is 40. It means that the system will calculate from bit 0, calculate every 4 bit, and calculate 40 bits in total (10 groups in total). The result will be in the last 4 bits. (The result length is the same as the length per group.) Card ID Start Bit, Length, and Decimal Digit If you use the transformation rule, these items are available. Depending on the table displayed above, the card ID start bit is 0, the length is 32, and the decimal digit is 10. It represents that from bit 0, there are 32 bits represent the card ID. (The length here is calculated by bit.) And the decimal digit length is 10 bits. Site Code Start Bit, Length, and Decimal Digit If you use the transformation rule, these items are available. For detailed information, see the explanation of the card ID. OEM Start Bit, Length, and Decimal Digit If you use the transformation rule, these items are available. For detailed information, see the explanation of the card ID. Manufacturer Code Start Bit, Length, and Decimal Digit If you use the transformation rule, these items are available. Depending on the table displayed above, the manufacturer code start bit is 32, length is 8, and decimal digit is 3. It represents that from bit 32, there are 8 bits are manufacturer code.
