SALTO credentials are managed by Security Center. To import and store the credentials, you must first select a card format.

What you should know

SALTO Virtual Network uses a custom SALTO credential format, which can be larger than what conventional readers can read. This selector determines how these SALTO Virtual Network credentials are represented in Security Center. You can choose to represent them as a custom SALTO format or as a 32-bit CSN.
  • Due to limitations in the CSN format, credentials received from SALTO that are larger than 32 bits will not be imported when the 32-bit CSN format is selected
  • If you want to change the card format after synchronization, you must delete and recreate the plugin role.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Plugins task.
  2. In the Plugins task, select the plugin role from the entity browser, and click the Properties tab.
  3. Select a card format from the Create Salto credentials as list:
    Custom Salto format
    (Default) This card format represents SALTO credentials for use by the SALTO ProAccess SPACE-based system.
    CSN
    Card Serial Number (CSN) is a standard Security Center card format used by SALTO credentials in a system that has readers from multiple manufacturers.
    Salto Properties window with default card format listed.
  4. Click Apply.

Results

During the next synchronization with the SALTO system, the card format you selected here will be applied to newly-imported credentials.
NOTE: If you want to change the card format after synchronization, you must delete and recreate the plugin role.
