Transferring your reader configuration to your STid QR code reader

2024-07-29

Before you can use QR codes as a credential in Genetec ClearID™, you must complete your STid QR code reader configuration by configuring an STid OCB smart card so that you can transfer the reader configuration to the STid QR code reader.

Before you begin

Familiarize yourself with the STid SECard documentation:

Install the software for the STid SECard - High security programming kit.
Create your STid QR code reader configuration.

What you should know

This procedure is for system integrators or account administrators who install and configure QR code readers.

Note: Ensure that you have a USB encoder installed and ready to configure your OCB card. For example, the STid Architect® ARC-G desktop reader, enroller, encoder.

Procedure

Launch the STid SECard software to configure your card.
In the navigation sidebar, click SCB / OCB.
Create your STid OCB card.
1. Place the OCB card on your USB encoder (reader).
2. Click Create Card / Virtual Card to create your configuration card.
Take the OCB smart card containing your reader configuration to the new QR code reader location and pass the card in front of the reader.

Note: Your new QR code reader must be online and available to transfer the configuration settings from the smart card to your QR code reader.
Verify that your QR code reader is still active after the OCB has been swiped on the wall reader.

After you finish

Add doors to areas.
