Before you can import cardholder and visitor information in Security Desk by scanning identification documents, you must install the ID Scanner plugin as part of your Security Center system.

Before you begin

  • Read the release notes to learn about known issues, limitations, supported firmware, and other information about this release.
  • Install Security Center 5.9 or later on the server.
  • Check that your Security Center license has a valid certificate to run the ID Scanner plugin.
    NOTE: Your license information is included in the license update email that we sent you. This email includes links to the download package and other license information.
  • Close Config Tool and Security Desk.

What you should know

The external device drivers are included in the ID Scanner plugin installation package.

The ID Scanner plugin should only be installed on workstations with physical ID Scanners connected and being used. Each Security Desk workstation where ID Scanner is installed will consume an ID Scanner license when Security Desk is connected to the Directory, regardless of whether a physical scanner is connected. This may prevent other workstations from using ID Scanner until those workstations disconnect from the Directory.

Procedure

  1. Download the ID Scanner plugin installation package from the GTAP Product Downloads page.
  2. Double-click the setup.exe file and follow the installation instructions.
  3. On the Installation Wizard Completed page, click Finish.
