   The Card number field is used as a sequence generator.

   NOTE: If the specified Card number range contains more than 5000 values, the end value is automatically adjusted to be the start value plus 5000.
5. In the Credential prefix section, enter the pattern for the enrolled credential names.

   All possible values are accepted.
