An electronic tool designed to compute the specific parameters and structure of identification cards manufactured by HID Global. This tool enables the conversion of card data (facility code, card number, issue number) into a format compatible with various access control systems. For example, one can input a facility code, card number, and card format type to determine the exact encoded bit string that represents the card’s credentials.
This conversion capability is essential for managing security credentials within organizations. It facilitates the seamless integration of newly issued cards into existing access control infrastructure, mitigating compatibility issues and ensuring consistent security protocols. Historically, the manual computation of card formats was a time-consuming and error-prone process, making automated tools invaluable for efficient administration and accurate card data management.
