Configuring Card Formats4. Click OK to save the format and any changes you made. The Card Formatdialog box reappears with the new card format displayed in the Field listbox.Table 4-12: Add/Update Format Field Dialog Box FieldsBox Field DescriptionEdit Card Field Type Select the type of data field you are defining from this drop down list box.See Table 4-13 on page 4-33 which lists Card Formats.Start PositionLengthComplementParity StartParity LengthStart Position indicates the starting position within the encoded information for thisdata field type. Enter a starting position greater than one within the encodedinformation for this data field type.Enter the length of the data on this card. For Wiegand or proximity cards, this isthe number of bits; for magnetic cards, it is the number of digits.For Wiegand cards only. Check this box if the field you are configuring requirescomplementing— that all 1s be changed to 0s and all 0s be changed to 1s.Specify complement for facility, site card number, and issue code field types only.For Wiegand/proximity cards only. This field displays the start of the data to beparity checked. This field applies only if Even Parity or Odd Parity is selected asthe field type on the Type drop-down list.Parity Start indicates the start position (in bits) of the data that should be paritychecked.For example, if the even parity bits are bits 2 through 13, enter 2 in this field forEven Parity. If the odd parity bits are bits 14 through 25, enter 14 in this field forOdd Parity.For Wiegand/proximity cards only. This field applies only if Even Parity or OddParity is selected as the field type on the Type drop-down list.It indicates the number of bits that are to be parity-checked. For example, if bits 2through 13 are the even parity bits, enter 12 in this field for Even Parity. If bits 14through 25 are the odd parity bits, enter 12 in this field for Odd Parity.C•CURE 800/8000 Hardware Configuration Guide 4–31
