Set Wiegand Output Mode
By default, tSec Readers are configured to output Wiegand data. However, if the reader is ever connected to a
reader expander configured to use RS-485, the reader will switch into RS-485 communication mode. If you want
to use the reader's Wiegand output again, you need to change its configuration.

Enable CSN Reading Mode
By default, tSec Readers will read ICT secured formats from high frequency cards. However, for lower security
sites using third-party cards it can be useful to read and send the Card Serial Number (CSN) instead.
WARNING: The CSN of your MIFARE card can be read and duplicated by anyone with access to the card. It is
not recommended to use CSN reading on high security sites.
