3.5.3 Issue Access Cards
Suprema manufactures access control devices that support multiple types of
access cards: EM4100, HID proximity, and MIFARE® cards. BioStation and Bio-
Entry Plus devices support EM4100 cards, BioStation Mifare and BioEntry Plus
Mifare devices support MIFARE cards, and BioStation HID devices support HID
proximity cards.
EM4100 and HID cards require only a card ID to complete card registration,
while MIFARE cards support two operation modes: Card Serial Number (CSN)
and Template-on-Card modes. When using the CSN mode, you can read the
serial number just as you would for an EM4100 or HID card. When using
Template-on-Card mode, you must record the user information, including fin-
gerprint templates, directly to the card.
Follow the procedures below to issue the appropriate type of card and then add
it to the user's account.
