pcProx Writer for Swipe Cards Tab
While this Tab is labeled ‘pcProx Writer for Swipe Cards’, it is really for generic data usage. As in the
previous Tab, you can freely enter keystrokes, or RS-232 characters for those using Playback 232, and
user data into any of the 3 fields. All data will be written to the Page, Application Area, and Block
location described above the fields.
If you choose a 16k/2 appl area (BDG-2001) card, you can easily store the log-on credential in one
part of the card; hold the contents from a mag-stripe or bar code card in another area, and other user
data in additional areas.
If you select the ‘Initialize Keys’, the Card manager will write the secure the location of the card
specified.
If you do not select this checkbox, the Card Manager will assume you have already secured this
location of the card and there will be no attempt to write keys to this location. An error will result if
the keys were not written previously.
As in the Log-On Tab, you can modify the card location (Page, Appl Area, Blocks) – refer to the
section labeled ‘Memory Map’. Once you have the data inserted into the fields, you are ready to press
the ‘Write to Credential’ button.
If you choose MIFARE cards, the screen will appear as below:
