Figure 25: Dip-switch locations
The switches SW1 are used to select various options within the actual loaded firmware. For example to select the serial
baud rate, wiegand output options, etc. Refer to the specific firmware manual for details.
The next chapters will describe the function of the switches SW2 and SW3.

Ultimate mode
The TRANSIT Ultimate can operate in the ULTIMATE-mode or in the NORMAL-mode.
In the ULTIMATE-mode the TRANSIT will perform a secure mutual authentication on the tags. This only works in
combination with Ultimate-tags.
In the NORMAL-mode the reader will skip the secure authentication (the TAB board is bypassed). In this mode the
reader is backwards compatible with the TRANSIT Standard and can read original tags, such as the Compact-Tag,
Window-Button, Heavy-Duty-Tag and Boosters. Also the Ultimate-tags will work, but no authentication is performed.
