Access Card Procedure

Access Cards

Members can receive cards when approved by a majority vote of members at an operations meeting ("Hack your Hackerspace" night.)
Login to hsl-access via SSH
Run minicom
- If you haven't set your settings yet, it must be /dev/ttyUSB0 57600 8N1.
Type e #### where # is the enable password.
Type a for a list of all users.
Find the first entry with a usermask of 255 after user #10 (users 0-9 are for testing.)
Check the Access Control System Card Database.txt file in Dropbox.
- Log which user# you're going to use, in this format:
  - UserNumber UserMask TagNumber FirstName LastName
  - I.e.: 9 1 a1b2c3d4 John Smith
  - Usermask 1 is "full access", 255 is "no access."
Type m followed by the user#, usermask, and tagnumber.
- Make sure you're not overwriting an existing user# and copy-paste to avoid typos because a typo can easily overwrite an unexpected user#.
- I.e. m 9 1 a1b2c3d4
Exit minicom by typing ctrl+a,x and double-check the status of the doors as they may have re-locked themselves.

Members cards are deactivated / reactivated upon notice of nonpayment or other issues from the Treasurer.
Check the Access Control System Card Database.txt file in Dropbox.
- Find the user's entry in the list, and update their UserMask to be 255 ("no access") instead of 1 ("full access") or vice versa.
  - I.e.: 9 255 a1b2c3d4 John Smith
