MIFARE Config Card
A MIFARE config card provides a quick and secure method for programming a card reader, by simply placing and
holding the card close to the reader.
To use a config card to program a card reader, the reader must meet the following requirements:
⦁
Firmware version 1.04.229 or higher
Using a config card to program a card reader requires a suitably configured MIFARE card. These can be ordered
from the ICT customer services team (Ordering code: PRX-ISO-CONFIG).
Alternatively, config cards can be configured using the ICT Encoder Client (see below).
For details on available programming configurations, see the
ICT Card Reader Configuration Guide
, available from
the ICT website.

1.
Power cycle the reader you want to program.
2.
Within two minutes, place and hold the config card close to the reader.
When programming is successful, the reader will beep 5 times quickly then restart.
ICT Encoder Client
The ICT Encoder Client is a software application that allows users to encode credentials for use with their ICT card
readers, Protege access control system, and optionally other third-party systems.
It also provides the ability to create customized config cards that can be used to program the functions of a card
reader. This provides a flexible and convenient method for programming readers as and when needed.
To use the Encoder Client to program a config card you will need:
⦁
A secure operator login
⦁
A correctly configured desktop encoder: PRX-ENC-DT - Desktop USB ISO14443-A and B Proximity Card
Encoder
⦁
A blank MIFARE Classic card to encode (Ordering code: PRX-ISO-MF-BLANK)
⦁
Sufficient encoding credits
