| The Access Card system is used to control
access to many Temple buildings. Card readers are installed at building
entrances and some interior doors. An authorized cardholder can
unlock a door by swiping their Temple ID card through the card reader.
The card readers are controlled by the Access Card server and building
access privileges are assigned using the Access Card system software.

| |
| Procedure to Purchase and Install of
New Card Readers. |
| |
|
1.
|
Requester contacts ACS or Facilities
Management to specify their needs. |
|
2.
|
Requestor submits a Facilities Management service
request to provide a site survey for power, door hardware and mounting
needs for the security reader. |
|
3.
|
ACS obtains a price quote from Blackboard
and forwards to the requestor or Facilities. |
|
4.
|
Requestor submits a Telecom service request
for the network connection. ACS assists and determines the correct
loop and address for the reader connection. Network connection cannot
be completed until the reader is installed by facilities, however,
a request for telecom should be submitted as soon as possible. |
|
5.
|
Requestor or Facilities submits a purchase
order to Blackboard. |
|
6.
|
ACS or Facilities receives readers from
Blackboard and contacts installer. |
|
7.
|
ACS configures reader in the Access Card
system by working with requester to identify door access requirements
and identification of card users and access plans for the reader. |
|
8.
|
Once Telecom completes the network connection to
the reader, ACS notifies requester when the reader is available
for use. Keys can still be used for access when the card reader
goes into service. |
| |
| Things you should know about the card
readers |
|
|
|
|
|
· All card readers will unlock
the door for 5 seconds or until the door is opened, whichever comes
first, before a card needs to be swiped again. |
|
|
· Temple Police are available at 1-1234 to
suspend lost cards after the Diamond Dollars Office is closed. |
| |
· In the event of a card reader malfunctioning,
contact Temple Police for them to investigate and notify the proper
people for repairs. |
| |
· Cardholders that can access buildings after
normal hours are assigned an access privilege and plan by Administrative
Computer Services (ACS). If you require different hours for access,
ACS can create additional access plans to match your needs. |
| |
· Most exterior handicap door entrances require
a card swipe to activate the door. Please note that some doors have
a motion sensor above the door to prevent the door from hitting
you when it opens. An example of this can be found on Wachman Hall
Beasley Walk entrance. Please stand to the side of the door when
swiping your card at doors with sensors. |
| |
· PIN pad use is only in operation
at the Student Activity Center where a PIN and swipe is required
after hours. All other buildings require a card swipe only. |
