Installing / Upgrading CardAccess 3000 Software
1. Verify your computer has FULL LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR

Rom drive. The installation should start automatically. If the instal-
lation does not auto-start, click Start, Run, and then type D:

select "Install CardAccess Server with Database". If you are in-
stalling a CardAccess 3000 workstation, select "Install CardAccess
Workstation". All CardAccess 3000 systems must have one Car-
dAccess host. Workstations are optional. On a new system, you

nications, it is recommended to use Comport 5 or higher.
● Click "Configuration/Panels". Click New and configure a panel.
Select the correct Panel type, Com Port and Panel Address. The
Com Port setting is the comport configured in the previous step.
● Click "Administration/Schedules". Click "New". Enter a
"Description" (ex. 24 x 7). Click in the "Start Day" box. A "24 x
7" schedule fills in automatically (Start Day = MON, End Day =
HOL, Start Time = 12:00 AM and End Time = 12:00 AM). Click
Save.

panel, which this reader is attached to. Click Save.
● Click "Access/Access Groups". Click "New". Enter a
"Description" (ex. "All Access"). Click "+" next to Panels/
Readers at the bottom of the screen. Configure a Time Schedule
for each reader. Select the "24 x 7" schedule previously created.

download is complete, verify the badge is working correctly. A
"Badge Valid" alert should display when the badge is presented to
