Introduction
The KWA Keyboard Wedge is a read-only device that rapidly and accurately
captures a badge identification (BID) number from either an ISO14443A or
ISO15693 physical security credential.
.
The KWA Keyboard Wedge is a data entry convenience device. It is not an
access control reader. The KWA does not communicate with microcontrollers,
or contribute to the determination of access privileges.
.
Connections
The keyboard and system PC connections are made through PS/2-style 6-pin
mini-DIN connectors, keyed for correct installation. The KWA 12VDC power
plug is keyed so as to require proper ± conductor orientation. The power cable
is permanently terminated at the AC power supply.
