PhilH Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi I've just installed a Scantronic 9751 with associated keypads, expanders, bells and whistles. All working nicely. Programmed it all no problems. Very proud of myself ;-) The problem I have is with user codes... it took me a while to understand the Users guide on how to set up user codes, but I cracked it in the end, and it all seemed straightforward enough... but when I wanted to change a users' code, I found that I needed the old code to set a new one. Picture this scenario. You have 25 key-holders, each has their own code, which is known only to them (nothing out of the ordinary there, is there?). An employee leaves. You want to disable their code. Based on what I've tried, you need to know the code to change the code. What if the employee won't tell you their code, because it's the same as their bank PIN number? The programming manual explains how to reset ALL codes back to the default values, but you don't want to do that every time a key-holder leaves!!! So, is there a way of deleting a users' code without knowing their code? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barsnake Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I believe its 50 users angus 9751 EN / 9751 UK may be 16 Think you may have the EN Phil you can remove a user code with out there code on the 9851 not 100% sure on the 9751UK Or 9751EN 9851 is U1, 4, U1, TICK, X down to the user in question, TICK, 0000 With the great of respect angus what the scanny book says and does are sometimes two entirely different thing as I'm sure you'll know Regards BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil User Code 01 is the only access code that can change other access codes, User Manual page 17, second paragraph under Access Codes If you have not kept a list as - 01 PhilH, 02 Fred, 03 Jim, 04 Mary etc etc you might have a problem, good luck Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

PhilH Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Evening all I'm not sure why I got revision 1 of the user manual with a panel purchased from a major disti only last week but the rev. 3 user manual, as barsnake refers, does include instructions on how to change the code without the code... SUPER!!! It is indeed a 9751EN panel, supporting 50 standard user codes, a duress code, and several other sorts of code... so here's hoping my firmware will support Method 1, as described in the PDF. Magpie, I think you have yet another revision of the manual, as user codes are on pages 24-26 of my user manual Nice of them Scanny chaps to keep everyone on their toes ) Fingers crossed! Thanks all for your help, and so quickly ! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
