Configuring the Convexs/Invexs
Functionality and output protocol of the Convexs/Invexs reader is determined by the
configuration
that is loaded
in the reader. This configuration is defined using the program
AEreco
, and deployed by the
configuration card
or
via
AEmon
(the specific configuration file is uploaded to the Convexs/Invexs, identical as AEpack firmware).
With AEreco a
Configuration file
or
Configuration card
can be generated. These contain all settings for the
Convexs/Invexs:
•
Configuration file:
The configuration card contains the configuration for a Convexs/Invexs and can be handled as follows:
o
With AEmon this file can be loaded into the (or all) Convexs/Invexs
o
Can be used to generate a configuration card
o
With AEreco this file can be loaded directly into the connected Convexs/Invexs
•
Configuration card
By presenting this card to a Convexs/Invexs the configuration in this card is transferred to the
Convexs/Invexs.
•
DEScount card
For situations where existing Convexs/Invexs MN or Convexs/Invexs M must be made suitable to read
DESFire cards this special DEScount card is used. On this card the amount of Convexs/Invexs readers
that must be made suitable to read DESFire is programmed. For each converted Convexs/Invexs to
DESFire the amount on the DEScount card is decreased.
DESFire available / enabled:
If DESFire is enabled (and this reader is suitable
using DESFire) can be checked with AEmon at the
View Hardware
: (only with the rs485NR protocols):
Select the Nedap reader and check with options are
available (
OptionsAvailable
) and which are enabled
(
OptionsEnabled
):
A configuration of a Convexs/Invexs
can not
be read back from the Convexs/Invexs, so when making changes to
a configuration you always need to use AEreco with the (original) configuration settings for this specific
customer.
After loading the configuration the beeper is used to indicate if the loaded configuration is correct or not:
•
High sound:
Configuration is loaded, a second High sound indicates that this configuration can
be used at this reader.
•
Low sound:
Configuration is not loaded, error has occurred.

Nedap reader Configuration file
The Configuration file can be uploading to the Nedap reader by:
•
Using AEmon, the Convexs/Invexs is connected to the AEOS reader AEpack (APx003rs485NR, the
Convexs/Invexs must have the
RS485NR
output protocol)
At AEmon in the
Hardware view
the connected Convexs/Invexs reader(s) are available. Selecting now
these Convexs/Invexs reader(s) gives the opertunity to load a new configuration file.
Using AEmon all connected Convexs/Invexs readers can easily be updated to a new configuration file.
At the
Hardware view
the correct Configuration file can
be checked (beside other important settings of the Nedap
reader, e.g. Options, Firmware, Kernel versions, etc)
•
Connect the Convexs/Invexs directly to AEreco and load the configuration file direct to this
Convexs/Invexs
