Dorset DG ENC Hotel Card Encoder (USB, Mifare)

Overview

The Dorset DG ENC is the front desk card encoder of the Dorset hotel lock system. It connects to the reception PC over Universal Serial Bus (USB) and, with the DG SW01 lodging software, writes room access onto Mifare cards at check-in, so a guest’s card opens their room for their stay. It suits any hotel, resort, serviced apartment, guest house or hostel running Dorset DG hotel locks.

Is it right for you?

• Needed at every front desk that issues cards for Dorset DG 100 HL, DG 110 HL or DG 111 HL locks.
• One encoder is usually enough per front desk; a property with several desks may need more.
• It is not for Dorset home and office locks, which use the DG Card enrolled at the lock.

Key features

• Encodes Mifare cards at 13.56 MHz, the card type used by Dorset hotel locks.
• USB connection to the front desk PC.
• Works with the DG SW01 lodging software, so management can oversee room access and card programming from one place together with the data retriever.

What else you need

A front desk PC, the DG SW01 software flash drive, Dorset hotel locks such as the DG 100 HL, DG 110 HL or DG 111 HL, and DG MI Mifare guest cards. A DG MI S7 authorisation card is the administrator credential for the system.

Installation

The hotel lock installer or system integrator sets up the encoder with the lodging software when the locks are commissioned. After that, reception staff plug it into the PC by USB and issue cards from the software.

Software and licences

The DG SW01 lodging software runs on the front desk PC and drives the encoder.
