How to set up a GateKeeper token using the free version of the GateKeeper Client software.

Set up your GateKeeper Token for Free Users.

If you have a GateKeeper™ Halberd token from work, you can use the same token at home for your personal computer. Download the free version of the GateKeeper Client software from the GateKeeper website onto your personal computer; you wish to use your GateKeeper token. Remember, the token is a key, so you can have more locks that the key opens at home.

Once you've received the GateKeeper equipment, please follow the steps below to set up using the single-user version of the software with your token. Please click here to learn the differences between the multi-user mode and single-user versions.

1. Insert the GateKeeper USB proximity Bluetooth sensors(s) in the front ports of the computer / in line of sight to your key (we recommend using USB extension cables and wire managers to position your sensors).

2. Insert the battery in the key fob (token) with the ‘+’ side facing up. If you want to use your Android phone as your token, download the GateKeeper Trident app for free.

3. Touch your token to the USB Bluetooth proximity sensor (receiver) and leave it there for registration.

4. Download and install the GateKeeper Client software v3.11.35 on your computer; click here for the MSI file. Or, Use the knowledge base article "Software for GateKeeper proximity login - Download." to choose the right software to download.

After installing the software, open the GateKeeper Client desktop application and go to the New User tab.

5. Click Scan Token. 

6. Confirm the serial number of the GateKeeper Proximity token you are registering.

The serial number will be located either on the back of the token (rechargeable versions) or inside the GateKeeper Halberd token battery cover (battery-powered versions).

If you are using your phone as the token, the serial number will be in the Trident app on your phone.
To find the serial number, click the SERIAL NUMBER button in the app, and a pop-up window will appear displaying the serial number.

7. A pop-up will appear with the nearby tokens detected by the sensor. Locate your token's serial number and select it by clicking the icon.  If your token does not appear, click the  button as it may not have been picked up by the sensor yet.

8. The Token Address and Serial Number fields will auto-populate. Click Next to continue.

9. Select the Credential Type: DOMAIN or LOCAL.

If you are using the DOMAIN option: 

• Fill in all the information fields: Choose a Display Name, Windows Username, Domain Name, and Windows Password.

• If you do not know the username or domain of your computer, please follow the instructions on this link.

If you are using the LOCAL option:

• Fill in all fields except for the Domain/Computer Name (This field will be grayed out): Choose a Display Name, Windows Username, and Windows Password

• If you do not know the Windows Username of your computer, please follow the instructions on this link.

10. Click Next to continue.

11. Create your own PIN, or you can click  . Select an alpha-numeric PIN with 4-8 digit PIN. We recommend a minimum PIN of 6 digits.

Once you are satisfied with your token's PIN, click Next. Remember, the PIN is associated with the token - just like a PIN for a debit card. (If you want to make any changes, you can return to the previous steps.)

12. Once all the information is filled, click  to finish the registration process.

 

13. A notification will pop up stating, "The user was successfully registered." The Connect User pop-up window will appear. Type in your PIN, click the button, and you can use GateKeeper Proximity for faster unlocking and secure locking!
