The PROXIMITY encoding system allows users of Paxton PROXIMITY systems to generate user cards quickly and
easily. The card details for each user are held on the PC in a database and are managed by the encoding system
software. The system is ideal for sites of 50 people or more where it is more practical and economical to use than
to purchase pre-encoded packs of cards.
In the event that a user’s PROXIMITY token needs to be barred from having access to a door, the encoding
system software has the facility to produce a shadow token for that user. This token is then presented to the
door(s) reader and the lost or stolen user card is then made invalid.
As well as shadow cards and user cards, the encoding system software can program a variety of other function
cards for use at the reader.
System installation
The encoder must first be connected to the PC using the USB lead provided.
Insert the CDROM into the PC. If the machine does not Autorun, double-click Setup.exe in the root drive of the
CDROM.
When the set up process is complete, you will find a new program group in the start menu called “Proximity
encoding system”. You can start the program by selecting the “Proximity encoding system” icon in this program
group.
Software installation
Once the desktop encoder and program are installed, the system must be initialised before it can be used. Start
the program by clicking on the Proximity encoding system icon.
On start-up the program will display the site creation window. A site must be created before any cards can be
encoded. Simply enter the name of the site and click Add.
If the red icon and “No encoder is present” appears in the bottom left hand corner of the window, there is a
problem with the communications to the USB desktop encoder.
