REMOTE CARD ENCODING SYSTEM

Customers have long recognized the benefit of offline and wireless locks as an attractive price alternative to a fully hardwired and monitored online access control system. Universities and military housing areas have embraced offline locks for guest room applications, where the quantity of doors makes an online product cost-prohibitive. Even with the benefits offered by offline and wireless locks, many customers still wrestle with the manpower challenges of issuing cards in a timely fashion to users. The issuance of new cards and replacement of lost cards can be a cumbersome task during normal business hours, but quickly become a serious hassle after hours or during a time of increased demand, such as the move in date of new residents. With the Stanley ID Express Station™ system, these problems are greatly reduced or possibly eliminated altogether. The Stanley ID Express Station system provides the ability for cardholders to conduct self-managed transactions via a simple and user friendly interface at a kiosk station. The ability to service cardholders is no longer limited by the availability of administrative staff.

 

FEATURES/BENEFITS

• Reduces the workload of security staff by allowing cardholders to conduct self-managed transactions via a touch screen interface and a simple, easy-touse application.
• Existing cards can have the room assignment updated.
• Temporary cards can be issued for use until a permanent ID card can be issued or replaced.
• For security reporting needs, a photo is captured at the start of each transaction, and stored in the server's transaction log.
• No cardholder data resides on the Stanley ID Express. All data securely resides on a central server, with a simple browser application running at the kiosk station.
• Communication between the Stanley ID Express Station and the B.A.S.l.S.® or Stanley Wi-Q™ server occurs via the Local Area Network, utilizing the existing infrastructure and ensuring that all transactions are secure and utilize only the
  most current data.
• During times of increased activity, such as the arrival of new residents, temporary desktop stations can be set up to handle the increased traffic at a lower cost than a full kiosk station. NOTE: Stanley ID Express Station desktop kiosks
  have the same operational functionality as the full Kiosk units, but in a reduced size enclosure.
• Heavy-duty construction of kiosk cabinet and desktop enclosures, utilizing commercial grade components to withstand high traffic areas in general, and a residence/guest housing environment specifically. NOTE: The Stanley ID Express Station encoding system products are not designed for outdoor use, and must be located such that it will not be subject to rain, humidity, or extreme temperatures.
• The Stanley ID Express Station Configuration Utility allows the customer to tailor the behavior and appearance of the Touch Screen and application to suit their needs. Items that can be customized include:
  • Header graphic, user prompts, and background
  • Retry count, Retry Lockout time, and Idle Timeout
  • Temporary card expiration, and whether temporary cards are allowed
  • Database fields how they appear on the screen.
  • Configurable e-mail alerts for activity
  • Real-time monitoring of transactions and status
  • Web page interfaces to link to existing housing systems
  • LDAP linkage for identification and authentication

 

HOW IT WORKS

• Cardholder initiates transaction by inserting an existing card, or by touching the screen to issue a temporary card.
  
• A photo is captured and stored in the transaction log.
  
• Cardholder enters identification information using touch screen (e.g. first and last name).
  
• Cardholder enters verification information using touch screen (e.g. SSN or other unique ID).
  
• Inserted card or temporary card is encoded and ejected from encoder.
  
• Transaction summary screen is displayed with room assignment and if configured, PIN number.
  
• The Stanley ID Express™ software communicates directly with the B.A.S.I.S.® software to validate all information. Once the card has been encoded by the Stanley ID Express™, the issue code is incremented in the B.A.S.I.S. software, ensuring that only one valid card is active at all times.
