Read Setup Card:
The Read Setup Card menu item is used to read the setup card that comes with each InSpec 9000
reader. Every time an InSpec reader is connected to a PC for the first time, the setup card must
be read.
Security:
The Security menu item gives the user access to the security features of the InSpec 9000
software. The default password is “password”. To change the password, enter the current
password, then enter the new password. Passwords must be 4 to 12 characters long, using only 0-
9, a-z, and A-Z. Retype the new password and click “Change Password” button. Forgotten
passwords can NOT be retrieved. There are eight different features that can be restricted. Hide
Card Data ensures that the operator can not see or print the data encoded on the cards being
tested. Disable Save Card ensures that the operator can not create save files of the cards tested.
Disable Profile Charts keeps the operator from viewing the profile charts. Hide LRC Character
strips off the LRC character from the end of the decoded data display. The LRC is still checked
for accuracy. Hide Card Data will hide all card data. This supersedes the Hide LRC Character.
Hide Numerical Display keeps the operator from seeing the numerical results. Hide Performance
Charts will keep the operator from using the performance charts. Disable Printing will not allow
any printouts from the InSpec software. Disable Editing will not allow the operator to edit the
limits or setup values. Allow Override will allow a supervisor with the password to temporarily
disable the security setting for the purpose of troubleshooting a failed read. The security level is
reset by clicking the reset security button or menu item or by shutting down the software. While
the override is active, the reset security button icon will show an open safe.
Clean Unit
The Clean Unit menu item starts the cleaning process. For more information on cleaning the
InSpec 9000 reader, see Section 2, Cleaning.
Eject Card:
The Eject Card menu item will send an eject command to the InSpec reader. If the reader detects
any of its sensors to be block, it will attempt to eject the card. If the sensors are not blocked or
the eject failed to remove the card, the card extraction tool will have to be used. See Section 5,
Card Extraction.
Encode Card:
