Understanding Gateway Credential Templates

Gateway Credential Templates specify the card data format for a reader connected to a gateway, and are used to configure reader device templates associated with that reader.

Note   The gateway credential template is used for gateway credentials only. If this template is for both gateway and controller use, use the Virtual Credential Template instead.

The data specification include the following:

·         Card data fields and data range

·         Parity bits and their bit position for data validation

·         Marker bits and their bit positions/range using sentinels

Each credential template has primary and secondary data fields to determine how the card data is extracted.

See Creating a Gateway Credential Template for more information.
