62.5 ConfigurationThe MiCard® device is working without further configuration; however some“advanced” options are available. When using uniFLOW OM v3.1.1 you can see the connected MiCard® readers on theMEAP/miniMIND Status tab of the main menu Connections.By clicking on in the ID Device column a new window opens showing the advancedoptions. When using uniFLOW OM v3.1 you won’t see the connected MiCard®readers in the status overview, but you can open the configuration page using this URL:http://<MFP-IP>:8000/usbidmodule/base.htmThe Configuration page will look like in the screenshot below.
7In the following please find an explanation of the terms used and the possible settingson the configuration site: Connected ID Module shows the ID Module connected, e.g. MiCard® / miniMINDLast Read ID shows the last ID read by a card swipeConversion Resultshows the result of the last read ID when the configured code conversions are applied.This is the ID sent to the server for authentication.Code Remove Firstspecifies the number of characters to be removed from the ID read before the codeconversion takes place. For instance a value of 3 applied to A881C045 will result in1C045.Code Remove Lastspecifies the number of characters to be removed at the end of the ID read before thecode conversion takes place. For instance a value of 3 applied to A881C045 will resultin A881C.Code Length
8specifies the code length applied after the code conversion. For instance a value of 6applied to A881C045 will result in A881C0, whereas a value of 10 applied to A881C045will result in 00A881C045.Code Conversion No. [N] specifies the code conversion that has to be applied to the ID read in a series of codeconversions at step [N]. The result of the code conversions at step [N] is displayed nextto the name of the code conversion in the drop down list. If the result is empty “()”, thiscode conversion can’t be applied in the actual step (cf. screenshot above).
9After a code conversion step [N] is saved by clicking the Save button the configurationpage will allow to specify code conversion step [N+1] as shown in the screenshotabove.
10Next to the name of the Connected ID Module in the configuration page ( MiCard®)you can click on a link (config) which will bring up the page shown below.With uniFLOW Login Manager / MomClient (Secure/Public Printing Applet) v2.1.2 theupdate of the MiCard® Firmware is possible via this configuration page.
