    Article summary

    This is a custom setting that will minimize the possibility that bad badge reads will cause unwanted outcomes in your environment.

    Parity stripping is turned OFF by default. The default setting ( 0 ) allows your system to collect data regarding the parity bits contained in your proximity badge identification data. Leave this setting as is if you are installing XA Client in your environment for the first time. It will allow for advanced troubleshooting and quicker resolution to proximity badge issues if they occur.

    Changing this setting will strip the desired number of bits from your proximity badge identification data. This changes the number of bits that is stored in the ProxCard Server database to reflect the identification data minus the number designated to be stripped.

    UPGRADE

    Change this setting if you are upgrading and have a ProxCard Server database that is already populated with user data from workstations that had this setting ON (1).

    Users will need to re-enroll their badges when this setting is changed.
