© Nedap N.V. Nedap Readers Installation Guide Page 4 of 21 1. Nedap Readers General Information The Nedap readers (e.g. Convexs or Invexs readers) enables smooth migration to Mifare card technology in both existing Nedap XS and Nedap AEOS Enterprise systems. It is capable of reading both Nedap and Mifare cards. The cards that are read are converted (and optionally filtered) to the selected output format. The readers output (the data the Convexs or Invexs reader sends) can be set to either Wiegand, XS RF modulation or RS485 protocol (encrypted for connection to AEOS or plain output). Installation aspects and technical data of the Nedap readers can be found in their corresponding Installation sheets (e.g. Convexs_InstallSheet_E) With Mifare also the Mifare Ultralight card is included, DESFire included EV1 card (check firmware version). 1.1.

Functionality Functionality and output format of the Convexs or Invexs reader is determined by the configuration of the Convexs reader. This configuration is defined using the program AEreco, and deployed by the Convexs configuration card or via AEmon (the configuration file is then uploaded to the Convexs as connected to the APx003). Depending of the used configuration the cards read by the Convexs (XS and/or Mifare) can be sent to the output using different communication principles: RS485NR, all data read by the Convexs is transparently sent to AEOS. To be connected to o AEOS reader interface AEpacks (e.g. AP1003, AP4003), use firmware: APx003rs485NR2 Data read from card is transferred (encrypted) directly to AEpack. LED’s and Beeper are controlled by the communication over RS485. (No separate cables for the LED’s are used.). Beeper also can be controlled by hardware or configuration. Power must be supplied additionally to the Convexs/Invexs. Not all Nedap AEpacks have RS485 on board. Check the used AEpacks. Use the AX1012 to convert RS232 to RS485. RF output To be connected to o AEOS Nedap reader AEpacks (e.g. AP1001, AP4001) using AX1014. All data (Nedap RF data) or the (converted) badge (Nedap RF badge) is sent over the existing RF cable. Check firmware in AEpack: - New updated firmware (± 03-2008) transfers all data read from the card transparently to AEpack (‘no’ limitions to card number) - Not advisable using the older firmware: the Mifare cards must be converted to XS code, max label number 999.999 o Nedap XS readers (AB350 on Accessor, SimpleXS, AC3/2TR), to be connected to AP1003 and AX1011 for integration with AEOS. All data (Nedap RF data) or the (converted) badge (Nedap RF badge) is sent over the existing RF cable. - New updated firmware (± 03-2008) transfers all data read from the card transparently to AEpack (‘no’ limitions to card number) - Not advisable using the older firmware: the Mifare cards must be converted to XS code, max label number 999.999 o Nedap XS readers (AB350 on Accessor, SimpleXS, AC3/2TR), to be connected to WinXS systems. The (converted) badge (Nedap RF badge) is send over the existing RF cable.

Attention: At the XS readers only one customer code for each type can be used! LED’s controlled by separate connections between Convexs/Invexs and AX1014/AB350 (use existing cabling). Beeper controlled by hardware or configuration. Power at Convexs/Invexs is retrieved from RF line (no additional power cables needed, existing cabling is used). Convexs/Invexs readers cannot be connected parallel to a RF reader. (Despite using antennas, where in some situations it was possible to connected the antennas parallel, e.g. for In/Out usage at a single door). Wiegand To be used for connection to third party systems, using different Wiegand protocols. The card data can be transferred using different Wiegand protocols. LED’s are controlled by the two separate connections between Convexs/Invexs and the third party system. Beeper controlled by hardware or configuration. Power must be supplied additionally to the Convexs/Invexs. Serial RS485 (RS485 Ascii) To be used for connection to third party systems, using a serial connection. Requires special configuration in Convexs/Invexs: NR9002.cfg LED’s can be controlled by the two separate connections between Convexs/Invexs and the third party system. Beeper controlled by hardware or configuration. Power must be supplied additionally to the Convexs/Invexs. USB Desktop reader Inside the USB Desktop reader the Convexs is used, with special configuration NR9004.cfg in Convexs: Check the installation manual of the USB Desktop reader for more details Power can be supplied by USB (check power requirements). Remark: Depending of the used output the cable distances differ!

The letter stands for the card credentials: M : Mifare MD : Mifare and DESFire MN : Mifare and Nedap MND : Mifare and Nedap and DESFire Depending of the configuration of the Convexs/Invexs the user itself can determine how the cards that are read must be sent to the output. The Convexs/Invexs MN and Convexs/Invexs M can be made suitable for reading DESFire cards at the customer using a special card (DEScount card); contact Nedap for more details. (Or order the Convexs/Invexs MD at Nedap.) 2.1. Nedap cards All Nedap cards can be read: CF, DF and GF codes, C, D and G codes, A and B codes At the ‘Direct transmission mode’ (all data read is sent unchanged to the output, defined with AEreco as Nedap RF data or RS485NR), no additional configurations have to be made. If needed a check at the customer code is possible. If this is configured, only cards with one of the defined customer codes are read and sent to the output. If the data read is been translated to another code (e.g. Wiegand) you can state for each Nedap customer code a specific Wiegand customer code (or another Wiegand code). (Keep in mind if this makes any sense!) 2.2. Mifare cards For Mifare the common used types can be read (Mifare, Mifare Ultralight and DESFire, including EV1): Card Serial Number (CSN, 7 bytes or 4 bytes) Data direct from one of the sectors / files Data from one of the sectors, using MAD (Mifare Application Directory) All necessary settings (MAD or sector number, used security keys, location of data, interpretation of the data, etc) have to be made using AEreco. If desired this can be done by the customer itself so the customer keeps the control over the Mifare security keys. At the ‘Direct transmission mode’ (all data read is sent unchanged to the output, defined with AEreco as Nedap RF data or RS485NR), no additional configurations have to be made. The interpretion of the card data is now done at AEOS, not at the Convexs/Invexs. The Mifare cards can also be transferred to the output as Nedap cards (pay attention of the maximum card number and the chosen customer code, this is depending of the Nedap device that is connected to the Convexs/Invexs). Remark: This last option can only at special request be programmed at Nedap, so not with the standard AEreco program. At the Mifare part it is possible to determine a part of the Mifare data as customer code. This customer code of the Mifare part can be used to expand the data read to different codes to the output. Attention: For programming the correct settings at AEreco for the reading and handling the Mifare cards, knowledge of Mifare cards must be available. E.g. for retrieving the data from the Mifare card it must be know where the data is located, which principle is used, what the keys are, etc, etc.

RS485NR (including RS485NR2) RS485 enables the possibility to have bi-directional encrypted communication. If possible use this protocol. The RS485 is used for connecting the Convexs/Invexs to the Nedap AEOS AEpacks APx003 These AEpacks must have the correct firmware (APx003rs485NR/APx003rs485NR2) for handling the Convexs/Invexs. The APx003rs485NR2 is the successor of the APx003rs485NR, having more features and less limitations (see chapter 10, Available reader firmware) Using RS485 enables the option that the Nedap reader configuration file and firmware can be downloaded using AEmon. The Convexs/Invexs configuration file still is generated by AEreco. With RS485 the data from the cards read at the Convexs/Invexs is transmitted transparently (‘Direct transmission mode’) and encrypted to the AEpack. If both Nedap and Mifare cards must be read use at the Access Point the Primarily- and Secondarily Identifier type can be defined. (Check is your AEOS version is capable of handling this.) Cabling distance: Max 1000 meters LED control: LED’s are controlled over the RS485 communication line (by software) Beeper control: By hardware connection or software (configuration depending) PIN code: For corresponding Invexs readers PIN code can be used over RS485 communication. At AEreco the output format must be configured as: RS485NR. 3.2. RF output Using Convexs converters (AX1014 / AB350) enables re-use of existing cabling (both for antenna and LED’s) The RF output is to be used if the Convexs/Invexs have to be connected to the former Nedap XS readers (Accessor/SimpleXS) or the Nedap AEpacks. Depending of the possibilities and firmware of the used Nedap readers following options are available: Cabling distance: Max 50 meters LED control: LED’s are controlled by existing cabling (hardware connection) Beeper control: By hardware connection or software (configuration depending) PIN code: Not possible For RF output following options are available Nedap RF data All data read is transparently sent the the AEpack (‘Direct transmission mode’) Most preferable, but can not be used in combination with a WinXS system Nedap RF badge Mifare badges: data read is converted towards another customer code XS badges: sent directly or converted towards another customer code. Use this only in case the Convexs/Invexs is used towards a WinXS system. 3.2.1. RF output to AX1014 on AEpacks Can be used if e.g. the existing Nedap RF antenna connected to an AEpack is replaced with the Convexs/Invexs, thus enabling that both Nedap and Mifare cards or Mifare cards replacing Nedap cards can be read. For each AEpack (or AEpack reader channel) one AX1014 (Convexs adapter) must be placed on the AEpack, on which the Convexs/Invexs is connected. If e.g. a AP4001 with 4 Nedap antennas is converted to Convexs/Invexs readers 4 AX1014 are needed. Depending on the type of firmware in the AEpack following options are possible: With new updated firmware at the AEpacks: AX1014 AX1014 AX1014 AX1014 AX1014 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 C 0 E 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 C 0 E
© Nedap N.V. Nedap Readers Installation Guide Page 9 of 21 Accessor III / SimpleXS AC3/2TR AB350 AX1011 The data from the cards read at the Convexs/Invexs is transparently sent (‘Direct transmission mode’) to the AEpack. If both Nedap and Mifare cards must be read, use at the Access Point the Primarly and Secondarly Identifier type (check your AEOS version if this is available). At AEreco the output format must be configured as: Nedap RF data. Not advisable, but with older firmware at the AEpack the Mifare cards must be converted to XS code, The maximum label number 999.999 (in combination with a GF code). At the Access Point in AEOS the XS Identifier is choosen. So now both Mifare (GF) and the Nedap XS cards can be identified. XS cards will be transparently transmitted. The chosen XS code may not be used already with existing XS cards. At AEreco the output format must be configured as: Nedap RF badge. Remark: This option can at special request only be programmed at Nedap, so not with the standard AEreco programm. 3.2.2. RF output to Nedap XS readers for AEOS integration Same as 3.2.1, but now for Nedap XS readers (AB350 on Accessor, SimpleXS). Connected using the MD300 to an AX1001 on the AP1003 for integration with AEOS. This option can be used if e.g. the existing Nedap RF antenna on the XS reader is replaced with the Convexs/Invexs, thus enabling that both Nedap and Mifare cards or Mifare cards replacing Nedap cards can be read. For each XS reader one AB350 (Convexs adapter) must be placed on the XS reader antenna connector, on which the Convexs/Invexs is connected. Possibilities and settings are identical as at 3.2.1. Preferable is to use the Nedap RF data output. 3.2.3. RF output to Nedap XS readers at a WinXS system Same as 3.2.1, but now for Nedap XS readers (AB350 on Accessor, SimpleXS), to be connected to the WinXS system (using e.g. LanBoXS or InterVisor, or directly to the WinXS PC) . This option can be used if e.g. the existing Nedap RF antenna on the XS reader is replaced with the Convexs/Invexs, thus enabling that both Nedap and Mifare cards or Mifare cards replacing Nedap cards can be read. For each XS reader one AB350 (Convexs adapter) must be placed on the XS reader antenna connector, on which the Convexs/Invexs is connected. The Mifare cards must be converted to an XS code: The maximum label number is 220.000 (in combination with a GF code) and depending on the amount of memory in the XS reader. If beside the Mifare still the Nedap XS cards are used, the Eprom at the XS readers must be capable of reading both factory codes. The chosen XS code may not be used already with existing XS cards. At AEreco the output format must be configured as: Nedap RF badge. Remark: This option can only be programmed at Nedap, so not with the standard AEreco programm. 3.3. Wiegand Maximum cable distance is 150 meters, the LED’s on Convexs/Invexs are controlled by hardware signals on the Convexs/Invexs connector. Beeper control: By hardware connection or software (configuration depending) PIN code: 8 bits message 4 bits PIN + 4 bits complement, (Dorado format) For the possible Wiegand protocols, see the section below. Depending of the data read (Card type and Customer code) a different Wiegand code can be transmitted. Also if the selected Wiegand protocol is capable of using facility codes for each code read a different Wiegand facility code can be transmitted Attention: The card number and customer code that is read must fit in the chosen Wiegand protocol. If no *bin Wiegand is used, the data format must be specified (AEreco in the Block decoder part). - Third party systems - AEOS Wiegand Accessor III / SimpleXS AC3/2TR AB350 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 C 0 E 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 C 0 E 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 C 0 E

Convexs/Invexs LED and Beeper control The Convexs/Invexs has three LED’s (red, green and blue) and a buzzer to give additional information to the user. At the backside of the Convexs/Invexs, a status LED (blue) and ID led (green) are available. 5.1. User LED’s UL LED (green), controlled by a hardware signal to connector A8 Or if rs485NR protocol is used, UL LED is controlled over the RS485 communication line. NA LED (red), controlled by a hardware signal to connector A10 Or if rs485NR protocol is used, NA LED is controlled over the RS485 communication line. Status LED (blue): The blue LED is used as status indication to the user. Up from certain AEOS and firmware versions the blue LED can also be controlled over the RS485NR protocol. Otherwise it must be activated at the Configuration (AEreco). If activated the blue LED will be active if both other LED’s or OFF. So if both UL and NA are OFF )NA LED must be OFF ±1 sec) , the blue LED automatically will be ON. 5.2. Beeper The Beeper can be controlled by: Hardware signal to connector A7 Or if rs485NR2 protocol is used, Beeper is controlled over the RS485 communication line. Software if card is detected (at AEreco: NA/UL beep): o If UL LED is activated (valid card) beeper is shortly activated o IF NA LED is activated (invalid card) beeper is 3 times shortly activated The volume of the beeper can also be controlled by AEreco (valid for both hardware and software setting). The beeper is also used for indicating the status of loading the configuration at the Convexs/Invexs. 5.3. Status LED’s The blue LED at the front side is used to indicate if a configuration is loaded at the Convexs/Invexs. The blue status LED at the backside is used to indicate the status of the Convexs/Invexs reader, the green ID LED to indicate the detection of a card. See Installation sheet for detailed information. 6. Invexs PIN modes On the Invexs different modes for using the PIN code are available. These are depending off the used communication protocol. 6.1. RS485NR The activation of the PIN is controlled over the RS485NR communication, by the used AEbcs. The AEbcs determine if the PIN code is activated or not (and if also the PIN code LED’s are activated then). 6.2. Wiegand The PIN code (if the LED’s behind the ciphers are activated) acts different, depending on the version of the Invexs firmware: Invexs versions before 2.06 If card is detected by the Invexs, the PIN code LED’s are turned on. At Wiegand the PIN code LED’s are turned off by: change at NA or UL LED, or after time-out Invexs versions after 2.06 Up from 2.06 it is possible to make a setting on AEreco (version > 2.1.0) to set the PIN code always on. Default setting as with version before 2.06, if via AEreco the new option is activated, the PIN code is always on (independent of a badge detection) This option requires also modified firmware at the used AEpack (check AEpack version file for this).

Configuring the Convexs/Invexs Functionality and output protocol of the Convexs/Invexs reader is determined by the configuration that is loaded in the reader. This configuration is defined using the program AEreco, and deployed by the configuration card or via AEmon (the specific configuration file is uploaded to the Convexs/Invexs, identical as AEpack firmware). With AEreco a Configuration file or Configuration card can be generated. These contain all settings for the Convexs/Invexs: Configuration file: The configuration card contains the configuration for a Convexs/Invexs and can be handled as follows: o With AEmon this file can be loaded into the (or all) Convexs/Invexs o Can be used to generate a configuration card o With AEreco this file can be loaded directly into the connected Convexs/Invexs Configuration card By presenting this card to a Convexs/Invexs the configuration in this card is transferred to the Convexs/Invexs. DEScount card For situations where existing Convexs/Invexs MN or Convexs/Invexs M must be made suitable to read DESFire cards this special DEScount card is used. On this card the amount of Convexs/Invexs readers that must be made suitable to read DESFire is programmed. For each converted Convexs/Invexs to DESFire the amount on the DEScount card is decreased. DESFire available / enabled: If DESFire is enabled (and this reader is suitable using DESFire) can be checked with AEmon at the View Hardware: (only with the rs485NR protocols): Select the Nedap reader and check with options are available (OptionsAvailable) and which are enabled (OptionsEnabled): A configuration of a Convexs/Invexs can not be read back from the Convexs/Invexs, so when making changes to a configuration you always need to use AEreco with the (original) configuration settings for this specific customer. After loading the configuration the beeper is used to indicate if the loaded configuration is correct or not: High sound: Configuration is loaded, a second High sound indicates that this configuration can be used at this reader. Low sound: Configuration is not loaded, error has occurred. 7.1. Nedap reader Configuration file The Configuration file can be uploading to the Nedap reader by: Using AEmon, the Convexs/Invexs is connected to the AEOS reader AEpack (APx003rs485NR, the Convexs/Invexs must have the RS485NR output protocol) At AEmon in the Hardware view the connected Convexs/Invexs reader(s) are available. Selecting now these Convexs/Invexs reader(s) gives the opertunity to load a new configuration file. Using AEmon all connected Convexs/Invexs readers can easily be updated to a new configuration file. At the Hardware view the correct Configuration file can be checked (beside other important settings of the Nedap reader, e.g. Options, Firmware, Kernel versions, etc) Connect the Convexs/Invexs directly to AEreco and load the configuration file direct to this Convexs/Invexs
© Nedap N.V. Nedap Readers Installation Guide Page 18 of 21 Remark: If the Configuration file is uploaded as above to the Convexs/Invexs, no checks are made if this configuration file is suitable for this Convexs/Invexs. This is in contradiction with the use of the Configuration card (then only specific cards with specific keys can be used to program these Convexs/Invexs). 7.2. Configuration card The configuration made with AEreco can be stored on a configuration card. By presenting this configuration card to a new Convexs/Invexs (default, factory settings) the settings on the configuration card are programmed into the Convexs/Invexs reader. Up from now only these specific unique configuration cards can be used to program the configuration in the corresponding Convexs/Invexs readers. During the configuration process the beeper will sound, to indicate the configuration is loading (and the card should not be taken away from the Convexs/Invexs). This process takes about 5 seconds. The uniqueness of the combination of Configuration card and Convexs/Invexs is made with the Reader read key that is determined at AEreco (General – Configuration card). This Reader read key is also stored in the Convexs/Invexs and every following time a Configuration card is offered, this Reader read key is compared against this key of the Configuration card. This principle results that only Configuration cards with the same Reader read key can change the configuration of a Convexs/Invexs. This key is independent of the Mifare keys. 8. Updating firmware of the Convexs/Invexs If new firmware must be loading into the Convexs/Invexs reader this can be done by: Using AEmon, the Convexs/Invexs is connected to the AEOS reader AEpack (APx003rs485NR or APx003rs485NR2, the Convexs/Invexs must have the RS485NR output protocol). At AEmon in the Hardware view the connected Convexs/Invexs reader(s) are available. Selecting now these Convexs/Invexs reader(s) gives the opertunity to load a new firmware Using AEmon all connected Convexs/Invexs readers can easily be updated with new firmware. Connect the Convexs/Invexs directly to AEreco (RS485) and load the new firmware direct to this Convexs. Remark: After updating the firmware the configuration must be reloaded. Updating the firmware will automatically remove the configuration. 9. Default settings of the Convexs/Invexs Default settings (factory settings, NR9000.cfg) of the Convexs/Invexs are: Mifare reader enabled, Mode: CSN (CSN reversed: NR9001.cfg) Conversion table Beeper: No NA / UL beep Led Mode: Red / Green Preferred Card Type: Nedap XS Card Configuration card enable Reader read key: FC9011EE5339 With this default configuration (file NR9000.cfg and NR9001.cfg) the Convexs/Invexs acting for XS cards as a normal antenna, and can be connected to AEpacks (on RS485NR) or Nedap reader AEpacks (with AX1014) or XS readers (with AB350).

The Nedap RF badge can always be used on Nedap readers. Wiegand formats can always be used on APx003 series with corresponding firmware. For the Nedap RF data and RS485NR not for all readers the suitable firmware is available. Please check always for the correct firmware version.

Two RS485 protocols are available: o rs485NR2 (up from 8-2009) able to show the Convexs/Invexs as an AEpack in AEmon, offering full implementation for AP4x03 and AP4x03X (PIN, tamper switch) and additional features such as Beeper control over RS485. Can be used for all most corresponding AEpacks (including AP4x03). Highly preferable to use always this protocol! o rs485NR: Convexs/Invexs is not visible in AEmon, only AEpack to it is connected is shown. First implementation of rs485NR protocol. Not available for AP4x03. The AP4x03 (RS485NR) is only available for the X version up from version v3.1x, and must have at least Kernel version 3.10. Tamper switch and PIN not available at the AP4x03X, only at the AP1003 with RS485. AP4003X (rs485NR) / AP4003 (rs485NR2) connected to o AP8001X: needs AP8001X_543v302 or higher o AP8001: needs AP8001_543v102 or higher (and kernel for AP8001 version 1.04 or higher) o AP4801X, AP4803X, AP4807X: needs kernel 3.11 or higher o AP4801, AP4803, AP4807: needs kernel 2.11 or higher For XS readers connected to WinXS Nedap RF data is not possible (use always RF badge). When using RS485 check if the applied AEpack is equipped with RS485 interface. Otherwise the AX1012 (RS232 to RS485 converter) must be placed at the AEpack). 10.1. AEOS versions The Convexs/Invexs can be connected to AEOS for (almost) all versions; in-depending of the communication method between the AEpack and Convexs/Invexs (the AEpacks must have the correct firmware, see above). If the Convexs/Invexs is not supported by an older AEOS version, the data from the card will still be read by AEOS and normal handled, It is not possible to see these Convexs/Invexs in AEmon or to load (using AEmon) a new configuration in the Convexs/Invexs (in case RS485 is used): Up from 2.2.0 Convexs/Invexs supported Up from 2.1.7 / 2.2.0: Primary and secondary identifier type at Access Points
© Nedap N.V. Nedap Readers Installation Guide Page 20 of 21 So if using the Convexs/Invexs with e.g. RS485 it can be connected to AEOS version before 2.2.0 or 2.1.7. If the configuration of the Convexs/Invexs differs from default this configuration must be loaded using a configuration card (using firmware APx003rs485NR) Remark: Check always the AEOS release notes for detailed information and the Know Problems in chapter 11. 11. Known problems 11.1. Convexs/Invexs to AP1002 In case the Convexs/Invexs reader is connected to an AP1002 (both Nedap RF data and Nedap RF badge) the potentiometer for the transmitter level must be set to minimum. Otherwise detection can be intermittend. 11.2. Convexs/Invexs to Nedap readers with AM badges In case the Convexs/Invexs reader is connected to Nedap readers (e.g. AP4001 or AP1001) with output Nedap RF badge the AM badges (A, B, C, D, G codes) will not be read on the Nedap reader. In this cases use as output the Nedap RF data. 11.3. Convexs/Invexs to AP4003 using RS485 Using rs485NR firmware: Connecting the Convexs/Invexs to the 4000 series using rs485NR can only to the AP4003X (and AP4803X), so not to AP4003 (or AP4803). The AP4x03X requires at least kernel 3.10 and corresponding firmware. For the AP4x03 (with kernel version 2) connecting the Convexs/Invexs with RS485 using the rs485NR firmware is NOT possible. This is solved with the rs485NR2 firmware. This firmware is suitable for both AP4x03 and APx03X (and AP1003, AP6003) Check always the version of firmware for the AEpu (see Remarks at chapter 10). 11.4. Convexs/Invexs to AP4003 using RS485 Tamperswith / PIN If rs485NR is used, the Tamperswitch and PIN at the Convexs/Invexs is only available at the AP1003 with RS485, not at the AP4000 series. Advisable is to use the rs485NR2 protocol, supporting these features on AP4003 series. 11.5. Convexs/Invexs to AP4x03X series before production code W2 using RS485 The first series of AP4803X and AP4003X (Production codes before W2) will put this AEpack out of order after uploading the Convexs/Invexs configurations and/or firmware to the Convexs/Invexs (or Nedap Readers), when using the RS485NR protocol. Solution for this is to replace this AEpacks. (These AEpacks can be used for other protocols without problems.) AP4x03X produced before June 2009 could sometimes have communication problems on the RS485 line. Due to this the Convexs/Invexs can malfunction. 11.6. Invexs with display / screen Invexs MNKS with display is only available on request, depending on the application to be used (what information must be shown on the screen).
