Readers Overview 
Reference Topics: 
 
Readers Form 
Readers are the devices that interpret the encoded numbers on badges. Readers are usually located 
near doors or gates that the system controls. Badges are presented to the readers in order to gain 
access through a door.  
When a micro record is created, reader records are also created. The number of records depends on the 
micro you configure and the reader boards that the micro contains. The reader is automatically enabled 
as Online and Active, and configured to accept badge transactions when a reader record is created. The 
number of active readers counts against your reader limit. For example, if your license key allows the use 
of 128 readers, you may have only 128 readers marked as active.  
 When the total of all reader records equals the maximum number of active readers allowed by your 
license, you will receive a warning message. 
The reader record controls both the physical reader and how the door locks and unlocks. See your micro 
and reader installation manual for information on how to connect readers to a micro. Use the Reader 
Form to modify the reader configuration. 
 For a shortcut menu to related forms, move the mouse pointer below any of the tabs and click the 
right mouse button. If you are using this shortcut menu to get to the Schedules Form or Events Form, all 
schedule or event records will display. 
ADDING OR MODIFYING A RECORD:  
Click Search to display a list of previously created reader records. You can either click Add on the 
Secure Perfect toolbar to add a new record OR modify an existing record.  
Description 
When reader records are created, the default description is in the format: 
mmmm-b-pp
 where 
mmmm
 
represents the micro number to which this reader is associated, 
b
 represents the board number, and 
pp
 
represents the reader number.  
Example
0001-1-01 Reader
  
This reader is on micro 1, board 1, reader 1. To change or add to this description, select and enter text 
over the existing text and save the record. It is recommended that you keep the 
mmmm-b-pp
 prefix in 
each reader displayed to aid in locating the reader points on the physical hardware. This field accepts a 
maximum of 64 characters. 
Facility  
 option can be assigned for your new Reader record from the drop-down list of available facilities 
for assignment by this operator.
