Card Type Information
The AX200 supports up to 4,000 different card formats and facility codes. The format and facility code combined is called a card type.
Format is the number of bits programmed in a card and the location of parity checks.
E.g. 26 bits
O F F F F F F F F C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C E
odd parity | facility code | card number | even parity | |
1 to 13 | 14 to 26 | |||
|
|
The first and last bit check that the data received is correct.
8 x F indicates facility code
16 x C indicates card number location
The card type information tab under Formats and Statistics gives a total system overview of the number of cards and records in the system.
Details are provided per card format/facility code on:
Total Cardholders in the database
Total active cards
Total lost cards
Total stolen cards
Total suspended cards
Total destroyed cards
Total inactive cards
Total records of card 0 (cardholder details with no card issued)
Facility Code
Is a number allocated to a specific customer to avoid that card 1 would have access also on another system which uses card 1. A 26 bit format is not recommended since it allows only 256 different facility codes worldwide.
