Hey all,
The Omni Door card-swipe system seems to be working at the moment. However,
be aware there might be an issue that resurfaces.
I came upon the front door system and it was not working. This was strange
because Marc was granting access to a gaggle of folks maybe an hour before.
The laptop was off, the switch was off, and all the cords were a tangled
mess. I re-built a new little shelf for the laptop/server, power strips,
switch, etc that are in the southeast corner of the front room of …

building. Everything is neatly organized, let's keep it that way!
The magnetic stripe card reader was giving me such guff! It really didn't
want to work, and I tested every single component to try to figure it out.
I swapped to a new USB hub with a power supply several times, but on my
last try it miraculously went from non-working to working. I have no idea
why.
I did, however, build a theory for the color code of the magnetic stripe
card reader:
- Red LED - power is on, problem with connection
- Yellow LED - power is on, no connection
- Green LED - power is on, connected
- UNLESS the green LED turns off after just one swipe, in which case:
- No light from LED - no power, possibly low power, or something else is
happening I can't explain.
