Systemprefs, changing checkdigit from katipo to none should work.
the "katipo" default ensures the cardnumber is HLT compatible.
none does no checking.
If you want to do your own check : C4/Input.pm, sub checkdigit.
Then change updater/updatedatabese :
in :
       {
            uniquefieldrequired => 'variable',
            variable            => 'checkdigit',
            value               => 'katipo',
            explanation         =>
            'none= no check on member cardnumber. katipo= katipo' <== 
add whatever possibility you added in Input.pm
        },
this modif is only for convenience, but, pls, do it too. Documenting is 
very important...
