1 Mercury controllers are enrolled from Config Tool.

2 Two swipes within 5 seconds by the same card unlocks the door until the same action locks it again.

3 The door behavior settings are overwritten by the individual door settings configured in Security Center.

4 A cardholder must have a card and one PIN credential in order for a PIN to work. A cardholder cannot have more than one PIN credential. Also, when set to Card or PIN, if a cardholder only has a PIN credential, that credential will not be synchronized to the controller and will not work. As a workaround, create and assign the cardholder a dummy card credential.

5 Mercury only supports the 4-bit key burst mode (HID mode-00).

6 By default, maximum PIN length is set to six digits. For PINs under 6 digits, you must enter a '#' after the PIN.

7 By default, PINs that start with zero are not supported. For more information, see Configuring PINs with leading zeros for Mercury integrations
