Smartcard-Booster LEGIC © Nedap AVI, P.O. Box 103, NL-7140 AC GROENLO Page 3 of 16 1 INTRODUCTION The Smartcard-Booster LEGIC is an active dual ID tag enabling simultaneous identification of the inserted LEGIC smart card and the embedded vehicle ID resulting in rapid driver and vehicle monitoring. A LEGIC smart card can be placed in the device (representing driver ID). Additionally a separate ID is programmed in the Smartcard-Booster (representing vehicle ID). Once configured, the Smartcard-Booster allows a driver ID badge together with it's embedded vehicle ID to be read from a distance up to 10 meters (33 feet) in combination with NEDAP TRANSIT readers. This solution substantially enhances the level of security when controlling activities of vehicles that are regularly used by different drivers. Additionally a fully integrated vehicle and personnel access solution can be implemented. For more details about the NEDAP TRANSIT reader refer to the TRANSIT installation guide. The combined vehicle and driver identification is a unique NEDAP patented feature. Optionally the vehicle-ID can be sacrificed if more information from the LEGIC card is required. The Smartcard-Booster LEGIC supports LEGIC Advant and Prime cards. NEDAP can also supply Booster devices that are able to read NEDAP, EM410x, HID prox or Mifare cards. The Booster was developed based upon the unique patent of the Nedap dual band technology. This technology enables reading of the low frequency credit card sized tag by the TRANSIT microwave reader. The microwave technology in the 2.45GHz band allows identification at a distance up to 10 meters, even at high speeding passage. Key features: • Combined vehicle and driver identification • Easy interior mounting • Push button activation • Expected lifetime up to 5 years. • Replaceable batteries (2 x AAA) FCC ID: CGDBOOSTER6 and IC: 1444A-BOOSTER6 Compliance statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and to RSS210 of Industry Canada.

Smartcard-Booster LEGIC © Nedap AVI, P.O. Box 103, NL-7140 AC GROENLO Page 5 of 16 2.2 TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS The Smartcard-Booster is designed to operate within the extreme temperature ranges, which often occur behind a vehicle’s windshield during the winter or summer seasons (-20°C to 85°C). However the LEGIC card inserted in the Booster may not be designed to withstand such temperatures and could suffer damage as a result. Nedap advises to remove the LEGIC card when not in use. CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE CARD IN ACCESS DEVICE WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE, AS THIS PRESENTS A SECURITY RISK. CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE CARD IN ACCESS DEVICE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME IN EXTREME HEAT, AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE CARD. 2.3 SOLAR CONTROL WINDSHIELDS From 1997 onwards several car manufacturers introduced vehicles with solar control windshields. The solar control windshields are equipped with a metalized coating, which can block the TRANSIT signal from the Booster mounted on the inside of the windshield of the vehicle. Most of these windshields have a metal free zone where transponders can be mounted. The metal free zone of metalized windshields is most often found in the middle of the windshield behind and slightly below the rear view mirror. In vehicles manufactured after 1998 the metal free zone should be indicated on the window. We advise the owner to contact the local car dealer if it is not clear where the aperture is exactly positioned in a certain vehicle and where the transponder should be mounted.
Smartcard-Booster LEGIC © Nedap AVI, P.O. Box 103, NL-7140 AC GROENLO Page 6 of 16 3 CONFIGURATION The Smartcard-Booster LEGIC is configured by means of configuration cards. This configuration card is a LEGIC Advant transponder that contains all the information that is required to find the user's segment and read the data. The Smartcard-Booster LEGIC only accepts a configuration card after configuration is enabled with a master token card. A newly purchased booster will accept any master token card. Once a master token has been inserted, the booster will only accept that specific master token and cannot be reconfigured with other master tokens. 3.1 CONFIGURATION CARD SET The configuration card set contains 3 cards that have the exact same stamp. • The master token IAM n/31 enables the programmer to write the configuration card. • The master token SAM n/31 enables the booster to accept the configuration card. • The configuration card. Note: Previously the set contained only 2 cards. The IAM n/31 card was accepted on the Booster aswell as on the programmer. A special master token SAM n/32 or IAM n/32 can be purchased to perform a 'master token withdraw'. This will reset the booster so that it accepts any master token (just like a maiden booster). The 'withdraw' master token should have the exact same stamp as the original master token. 3.2 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE Follow the procedure below to configure the Smartcard-Booster LEGIC for your application. 1. Insert the master token card in the Booster and push the button. The Booster sounds the buzzer with an increasing frequency (♪♪♪). The Booster will now accept your configuration data card. 2. Insert the configuration data card in the Booster and push the button. The Booster sounds the buzzer with a decreasing frequency (♪♪♪) to indicate that the configuration is accepted. Now your booster will read the LEGIC smart cards that meet the conditions defined in your configuration.

Smartcard-Booster LEGIC © Nedap AVI, P.O. Box 103, NL-7140 AC GROENLO Page 13 of 16 4 USAGE INFORMATION 4.1 USING THE SMARTCARD-BOOSTER LEGIC Place the Smartcard-Booster behind the windscreen of your vehicle as described in chapter 2. The driver inserts his card and pushes the button on the Booster. A beep should indicate that the card was successfully read. The TRANSIT reader can identify your LEGIC card up to a distance of 10 meters now. After 5 seconds the Booster returns into standby mode. The driver should remove the LEGIC card from the Booster when leaving the vehicle. 4.2 READING THE SMARTCARD-BOOSTER LEGIC The Smartcard-Booster is battery operated passive tag. The information from the tag is sent to the reader by a method called modulated backscatter. This means that the reader's transmitted signal is modified in such way that it can be recognized by the reader. The examples below assume that a TRANSIT PS270 reader with P81 firmware is used and show the messages transmitted on the RS-232 interface to a host system (TXD). Refer to the reader firmware manual for more details about the reader communication protocol. Dual-ID mode The Smartcard-Booster cannot be identified until the driver inserts his card and pushes the button. Once the button is pushed the booster reads the inserted card and sounds the buzzer upon a successful read. Both vehicle-ID and driver-ID are transmitted to the reader. After 5 seconds the Smartcard-Booster automatically deactivates. Example: vehicle-id = 123, driver-id = 7100944, TXD = U00000001230007100944CRL F If 'Extended Driver-ID length' is enabled, the following message is transmitted to the host. Example: vehicle-id = 123, driver-id = 7100944, TXD = Y00000001230000000000000007100944CRL F Single-ID mode The Smartcard-Booster is 'sleeping' until the driver inserts his card and pushes the button. The LEGIC smart card is read and the data is transmitted to the host system. After 5 seconds the Smartcard-Booster automatically deactivates again. Example: driver-id = 871111111117100944, TXD = U00871111111117100944CRL F If 'Extended Driver-ID length' is enabled, the following message is transmitted to the host. Example: driver-id = 871111111117100944, TXD = Z00000000000000871111111117100944CRL F
