5.1 Photo Badge Management Requirements
For proper operation of Doors in a badging application, the following requirements
must be met. These requirements supersede the standard PC/Doors requirements listed
above.
• The SVGA graphics card must be capable of displaying 65K colors to ensure
photo images are properly displayed.
• Between 100 MB and 1 GB of hard disk space must be available, depending upon
the number of card holders for which you will be providing photo badges.
• Either Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows NT
4.0 operating systems.
Proper USB support is not provided in Windows 95. In Windows 95, the digital

1. The larger the number of cards being enrolled, the larger the system RAM should be to
efficiently handle the card database.
2. Communication between the access control network and the Doors software is done through
either the host computer’s COM port (COM 1, 2, 3, or 4), or a LAN/WAN Ethernet. Doors
cannot operate if the host computer’s COM port is not operating correctly, or the LAN/WAN is
not set up properly. Keri Systems cannot be held responsible for host computer COM port,
hardware, or network problems.
