Wiegand Parameters Settings
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminals can communicate with distant systems, using Wiegand
interface. The protocol used for communicating on Wiegand channel is called Wiegand protocol.
It is required to configure Wiegand input and output string format that is understood by
terminal and distant system.
Several Wiegand formats are preloaded on MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminals and are
designated as a Standard type in the table below. They contain an ID of 32 bits or less. All
MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminals support these formats. Using Webserver, an
administrator can configure the desired Wiegand format for both input and output. “Standard
26-bits” is the default format. Besides Webserver, these configurations are possible via distant
commands also
.
