TRANSIT Entry
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Nedap’s handsfree access solution represents the latest in technology for secure
handsfree doors access and other RFID applications. TRANSIT Entry combines the
convenience of traditional door automation with the security of restricted areas.
It makes a perfect fit to any door or vehicle gate environment where handsfree
access is required. The system reads at distances up to 4 meter (12 feet) reliable and
consistently. This has great appeal to people, especially in situations where it is
inconvenient to use their hands when presenting an ID badge when accessing a
door, but where high security needs to be maintained.
Moreover it offers handsfree vehicle access to gated areas. Vehicles are identified
at a range up to 4 meters (12 feet), without the hassle of having to open the window
to present a card.
The handsfree access system is made up of a TRANSIT Entry reader and a
transponder. TRANSIT Entry readers are installed next to a door or gate. A long
range transponder visible in line of sight of the reader will be identified at
distances up to 4 meter (12 feet).
1.2 OPTIONAL CARD TECHNOLOGY READER INTERFACE
The TRANSIT Entry reader also features an optional proximity and ISO compliant
smartcard interface. This Multi-Technology Reader Module (MTR) enables the
reader to read standard proximity cards and smartcard CSN. This also allows the
reader to operate with existing credentials when presented to the face of the
reader.
The MTR supports the following card technologies:
• 120-125 kHz: HID prox, Nedap and EM read-only.
• 13.56 MHz: HID iClass CSN, MIFARE, LEGIC Advant UID, ISO14443A and
ISO15693.

7 READ RANGE CONTROL (SQUELCH)
7.1 PRINCIPLE
The read range of the TRANSIT Entry can be controlled with the embedded
squelch function. The squelch references the received signal strength against the
squelch level setting. When the received signal strength is below the squelch level
no identification is possible. The received signal strength becomes higher when
the transponder approaches the reader. When the received signal strength
exceeds the squelch level the transponder will be identified.

8 IDENTIFICATION
The TRANSIT Entry reader is always reading (except when disabled with the read
disable input, see chapter 3.3.2). Automatically upon identification of a
transponder the relay will be activated, the ‘smile’ lights-up and an event message
is generated on the communication interface(s).
8.1 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
The TRANSIT Entry was designed to implement secure
handsfree access. The system reads at distances up to
4 meters (12 feet). This has great appeal, especially in
situations where people cannot use their hands to
present their ID badge. Moreover it offers handsfree
vehicle access to gated areas. Vehicles are identified at
range, without having to open the window to present
a card. Only line-of-sight between transponder and reader is required.
On-site adjustable read-range in case of cross over reading (see chapter 7). On-site
adjustment of the frequency channel to avoid radio interference (see chapter 6).
8.2 USING THE MTR MODULE
The TRANSIT Entry reader can be featured with an
optional proximity and ISO compliant smartcard
interface, called Multi-Technology Reader Module
(MTR). This MTR interface will enable the reader to read
standard proximity cards and smartcard CSN, allowing
it to operate with existing credentials at short range,
when presented to the face of the reader. See chapter
2.4 for more information about installing the MTR board.
The MTR eliminates the need for multiple readers mounted next to a door or gate.
Please refer to the MTR manual for more details. The following card types are
supported with the MTR:
• 120-125 kHz: HID prox, Nedap and EM read-only.
• 13.56 MHz: HID iClass CSN, MIFARE, ISO14443A and ISO15693.
Proximity cards must be presented to the circle on the front cover of the TRANSIT
Entry reader. The MTR reads from all supported transponder types their card serial
number. For Mifare Classic and Ultralight cards optionally the MTR can be
configured to read data from a (secured) sector. Configuration is done with a
configuration card, which can be programmed with the ‘Smartcard-Booster
Config’ software. This software can be downloaded from our website
www.nedapavi.com.
Note: It is not possible to install the MTR module together with an additional
interface board, such as the TCP/IP interface board.

Note1: Aborted downloads may cause the reader to stop functioning. In such
cases repeat the upgrade procedure until it succeeds.
Note2: If the message ‘Searching for bootloader’ does not disappear check the
cables and the com-port settings. Sometimes it may be required to restart
the reader before the bootloader can be found. Before restarting the
reader make sure that the message ‘Searching for bootloader’ is still
shown in the statusbar. The restart is easily performed by pressing the
reset-switch.
