Access Control mode logs the entries of visitors into the event or a seminar session.

If it is not convenient to power and situate an Check-in computer at your gate or entrance, you can use wireless Opticon barcode scanners. These store the data of the barcodes captured in the device, and transmit the information back to Visit Create when you place them in their cradle, connected to Check-in.

Getting Ready

• You need to use Check-in to initialize the Datapens, and to retrieve the data from them. You do not need a dedicated Check-in for this purpose.

• Connect your Opticon cradle to Check-in with it’s USB cable, and connect its power cable.

• From the settings menu select mode Access Control.

• Select whether this is for the event, or for an individual seminar.

• When you click Save you will be prompted to scan barcodes, and you will have buttons at the bottom of the screen. Choose Opticons / Touchpoints.

Initialize a Datapen

• Place an uninitialized Datapen in the cradle. If you are using a multi-charger cradle, you should usually use the right-most slot.

• Select an entrance or seminar room, and click Assign Scanner.

The Datapen should now show the name of the entrance, and show that 0 visitors have been scanned. You can now take the Datapen to the location, and scan badges.

Reviewing Assigned Datapens

• Click on Assigned Scanners in Check-in to see a list of how many devices are currently issued for each location.

Retrieving Data from a Datapen

• In Check-in, choose Opticons / Touchpoints and place your Opticon Datapen in the cradle.

• Click Unassign Scanner.

• Scans will be downloaded, and the scanner will be uninitialized again, ready to re-issue.
