I have a bosch readykey pro access controll system. We are using 26bit wiegand prox cards. I got a steal on a new box of cards with a different facility code. I was under the impression that I could create a new card format in system administration, set it to the correct format, name it, and enter my new facility code and it would work. I did this, assigned a badge number to myself and in alarm monitoring I show access denied for wrong facility code. Anyone know what I am missing? I will happily answer questions and/or post screen shots. Thanks! Carl edit for more info: I get the feeling I need to figure out some way to specify facility code with my badge number... I could be way off base here, my experience is limited.

I wasn't assigning them to the readers. You are a saint. Just for your info, readykey must be ignoring the first bit. My working settings are Facility code 1-8 Card Number 9-16. Thanks Again, you have no idea how much that helped me. Carl

Chris, In my readykey software, facility code is asked for in the card setup. I can find nothing for clearances in the software. the help says my system can support up to 8 weigand formats. I have 3. My two and the system template I copy from. The template and my working format have bits 1-8 as facility code. In my software I have CardHolders Visits Badge Types (employee, temp, visitor,ect) Card Formats Users system options Cardholder options List Builder a ton of pos/fire/alarms stuff we dont use access levels timezones readers access panels Any ideas? If you like I can pm you my contact info.

A little more info... I have this badge number assigned to me. When I look in alarm monitoring, it shows invalid facility code. If I right click on it and go to badge information, it shows the badge as not being assigned to anyone, so it definitely thinks that the badge number I assigned to me is with the other facility code.
