Firmware update
When the NVITE configuration software is connected to a reader, it automatically checks the firmware version of the
reader. If necessary the software recommends to perform a firmware update. Recent reader firmware versions are
included within the software.
The firmware update can also be used to change from STANDARD to OSDP firmware (or vice versa).
Firmware update procedure;
•
Start NVITE configuration software.
•
Connect with NVITE reader.
•
Go to FIRMWARE UPDATE.
•
Select the firmware (e.g. NVITE STANDARD firmware v1.55).
•
Click Update and wait until completed.
When the firmware update is completed, the software will reconnect. Upon reconnect, make sure to select the correct
protocol and baud rate setting. This might have been changed due to different firmware.
4.6.2
Key update
The key update function updates the BLE and NFC authentication masterkeys for the Mobile ID protocol in the NVITE
reader.
The Mobile ID authentication keys are diversified to ensure a unique security key per credential. The diversification is
done using a shared masterkey. The key update function updates the masterkey in the NVITE reader.
Key update procedure:
1.
Generate a new masterkey.
2.
Update masterkey in NVITE reader(s).
3.
Update the mobile credentials with new diversified keys.
See the separate Mobile ID documentation for more details about the masterkey generation procedure.
To update the masterkey in the reader, select the encrypted key update file (*.nkey) and click Send.
Note
Make sure to synchronize the update for readers and credentials (steps 2 and 3).
After the key update the NVITE reader will only read updated mobile credentials.
Authentication will fail upon Mobile ID credentials that have not been updated.
