• Purpose: ID Badge redesign incorporates a computer chip now referred to as the Vanderbilt Card.

• The Vanderbilt Card maintains all functions of the previous ID badge and also allows :

• Fast access to a computer workstation (CWS) with Tap On and Tap off technology!

• Saves overall time to log on to the Virtual Clinical Workstation (VCWS) with less opportunity to misspell VUNetID or e-password

4 Digit PIN

VUNet ID

Tapping In Process• The first CWS tap on of the day requires e-Password for

authentication-applies to each computer you use

Instant Access• Instant access within the same workstation:

If a user taps off and returns to the same CWS within ten minutes, the user can tap on for instant access to the CWS without entering a PIN number

If you return to the same CWS in> ten minutes you will be asked for your PIN

If another user logs on to the CWS you’re working with, your instant access is terminated

Vanderbilt Card Troubleshooting Tips: Things to consider:

• Make sure the PIN number is set up correctly. The PIN number cannot be three or four sequential or similar numbers• Unacceptable examples: 1234, 5678, 1111, 2222, 1333, etc.

• Do not puncture the Vanderbilt Card for any reason • Other HID-type cards may interfere with the card reader• Make sure that *only* the VU ID badge is being tapped onto

the card reader• If another ID card also has the chip/code it may interfere with

the card reader

Reminder of Timeouts and Timeframes

• With no activity the CWS will:• After 10 min – CWS will lock with VCWS session intact, the user is

required to tap on and enter the PIN number to regain VCWS access

• After 110 min - The CWS physical connection is ended, VCWS session remains intact. After 3hrs of no activity, the VCWS session is terminated.

• 24h after initial log-on with VUNetID and password the user will be required to enter their e-password with next log-on

• Other issues: loss of wireless will cause a dropped virtual and HED session – move your computer closer to antennae for better access should this happen
