HikCentral Professional provides multiple modes for reading a card's number: via card enrollment station, via enrollment station, or via the card reader of the access control device. You can connect a card enrollment station to the PC running the Web Client, and place the card on it to read the card number. Or you can specify the IP address, port number, user name and password to access the enrollment station to enroll card number.
