MIFARE Config Card
A MIFARE config card provides a quick and secure method for programming a tSec Reader, by simply placing
and holding the card close to the reader.
To use a config card to program a tSec Reader, the reader must meet the following requirements:
⦁
Firmware version 1.04.229 or higher
Using a config card to program a tSec Reader requires a suitably configured MIFARE card. These can be
ordered from the ICT customer services team (Ordering code: PRX-ISO-CONFIG).
For details on available programming configurations, refer to
AN-283: Programming tSec Reader Functions
.
Alternatively, config cards can be configured using the ICT Encoder Client. This provides a flexible and
convenient method for programming readers as and when needed. For information on the encoding process
and requirements, refer to the
PRX-ENC ICT Encoder Client User Manual
, available on the ICT Website.
Programming Summary
To program a tSec Reader using a config card:
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
tSec 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
tSec Reader.
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
Programming Summary
To encode a config card that will be used to program tSec Readers:
1.
Log in to the Encoder Client using your secure operator login.
2.
Select the required
Customer
(this will typically be the site).
3.
Create a
Reader Configuration
(config) comprising the required TLV settings.
4.
Place the blank MIFARE card on the desktop encoder and click
Write Config
to write the config to the card.
