Add a Badge

The Badges module allows operators to manage all badges. Generally, the Personnel module is the preferred module for editing badge data. The Badges module is intended for specialized purposes, such as viewing or assigning unassigned badges. To open the module, go to Management > Badges.

1. Go to Management > Badges.

2. Select Add.

3. Select a badge template, then press OK. Complete the following required fields:

   • Card #

   • Assigned to: Browse personnel and assign the badge.

   • User Code

Note: If the same badge is used for an XR550 and TMSentry system, and the user code is five or more digits, only the first four numbers are sent to the TMSentry panel. If the code is less than four digits, zeroes are automatically added to the beginning of the code to make it four digits. Entré checks for duplicate codes.

4. For TMSentry panels, you can select the following user authority level permissions:

   • Master: The highest authority level. The user is granted all system permissions.

   • Arm Only: The user can only arm the system.

   • Temp Code: Codes set up remotely can stay active for up to 7 days, then automatically expire. Codes active for more than 7 days can only be set up using the keypad. Any authority level except Master can be defined as a temporary code.

Note: If no authority level is selected, the user is set to Standard.

8. Ensure that the validity is Active. A validity of Active ensures that the badge is functional in the Access Control system.

9. Effective Time: Initiates at 00:00.

10. Expires Time: Terminates at 23:59.

Note: To configure an activate/deactivate schedule for the badge, enter a date and time in the Effective and Expires fields. The badge will activate/deactivate accordingly.

4. To assign a user code profile to the badge, check the box next to the user code profiles in the Privileges section.

5. Select Save and Close to save the badge configuration.

Note: Multiple badges can be added to each personnel record.
