Because Axess media is reloadable, but the media only has a limited number of segments that can be encoded for validation (typically 2 or 3), the Siriusware software must make a determination regarding what segment to encode during the reload process.

The software checks all segments to determine which ones are eligible for encoding. The first eligible segment found is used for the new encoding/information. An “eligible” segment is one that is either no longer valid (expired, cancelled, all days used, etc.) or one that has not been encoded previously. For instance, a Midweek Season Pass is only good at the gates Mon-Fri. Customers are allowed to load this pass with discounted Weekend tickets. Even though the Midweek Season Pass might not be good on a Sat or Sun, because it is a season pass (Ticket Type 15), the expiration date of the pass is used to determine validity. This logic prevents the purchase of a Weekend ticket from overwriting the segment encoded with the Midweek Season Pass information. Please refer to Axess documentation for an explanation of how a Gate determines which segment to encode when a new WTP record is located for a piece of media.
