Identification

Employers are more security conscious than ever.

More

buildings, machines, systems,

and

applications require identification information

to

gain access. RF

IDeas devices allow

the building

access cards

to

be used as a digital identifier throughout

the workplace.

Various pcProx applications

include:

•

Companies

using

for

building access

immediately benefit, as

their employee

identification cards can also be used

with the

pr

s

device

for additional

authentication applications. Thus,

the majority of

deployment and enrollment costs are

quickly

recovered.

The diagram on

the

following page

is

a high level overview

of how the

reader

works.

The

reader

sends

RF signals

to the

card and

the

card sends signals back

to

send

data.

The card data

is output by

the

reader

in

keystrokes

or

ASCII characters. This card data can be configured

to

include

delimiters

to

separate

the data.

This reader can be used as a standalone system

or

seamlessly integrated

with

other software applications

using

the

optional

Sof

Developer’s

Kit (SDK).

Data: The data on access cards are a string

of

binary numbers set

with

a fixed configuration

and

length.

Frequencies:

RF

IDeas’ access control readers and credentials utilize

the

low-frequency

125

(proximity)

band and

or

the

high-frequency

13.56

Credential Form Factors:

With

in

use worldwide,

there

are a variety

of low

from to

meet

their

particular

needs.

The below illustrates some

of

the various

form

available.

Reader

Configuration

P

urposes

The method

of

encoding data on a card and transmitting data

to the

reader differs accordingly

t

o

each

t

echnology

involved.

The reader

itself is not

aware

of the

makeup

of the

card data

format or

access privileges

for the

cardholder. This information

is

only accessible through

the configuration

process

of the

reader utilizing

the

supplied

software.

The reader

is

very flexible and may need

to

be configured

in

order

to

present an exact desired

output

for the

user, such as, singling

out

FAC

or

ID, obtaining a desired base (i.e. decimal, lowercase,

upper-

case,

hexadecimal).

Differences Between pcProx Plus Reader Non-Plus

R

eader

The pcProx Plus

is

a dual frequency programmable reader

that

combines 125 kHz and 13.56

MHz

t

echnologies

into the

same reader.

It’s the

only reader

in the

industry

that

reads

two

cards

of your

choice among

35

card

t

ypes,

delivering

flexibility to

any customer struggling

with

different

card

technologies.

In

contrast

to the

pcProx Plus reader,

our

standard pcProx Enroll

proximity

and contactless

readers

function on a single frequency band, which

is

either 125 kHz

proximity or

13.56

MHz contactless.

is

grayed

out

(as seen

below)

and selections

within this

area are

not possible.

The pcProx Plus Configuration area allows

for

users

to

set-up

two

different configurations

for their

device. The configurations could be either one

125 kHz and one 13.56 MHz,

or two

125 kHz and

t

w

o

13.56

MHz. The configurations can also be

of the

ASCII Command Protocol

ASCII

Overview

ASCII Command Protocol

(ACP) allows

the

user

to talk

directly

to the

device

without

a DLL

or special

application. The serial Prox communicates using ASCII commands. Printable ASCII commands

at

9600

baud, no

parity

1

stop

bit,

and no echo, can be sent

to the device.

Note: USB devices

that

are

virtual COM port

do

not

need

the

baud rate set. The

input is

buffered

by

the

device and executed when a carriage

return

(

CR)

or

line feed line feed (LF)

is

t

yped.

The

unit

then parses

the

command and performs

the

operation, and displays

the

results

or error

code.

“\r\nRF

IDeas>” where

\r

represents a CR and

\n

represents a

LF

that

displays on

the

command

line.

All

commands begin

with the

prefix

rfid:

and end

with

a Return key, CR

or

LF

Command

Structure

Commands are

not

case sensitive. Characters assigned

to

variables are case

sensitive.

·

All

commands begin

with

a prefix string followed

by

one

or

more

t

oken

strings

with

a

period

delimiter character between multiple

tokens.

·

Functions must end

with

a CR

or

LF

.

·

Variables can be assigned a value

with

an equal sign followed

by the

value

or

queried

with a

question

mark.

·

Any

control characters other than

CR, LF,

and backspace

terminate

the command.

·

The Escape key cancels a

c

ommand.

The general syntax

is:

PREFIX TOKEN

{

DELIMITER TOKEN

} { {

=Value} | {?}

}

The prefix string

is rfid:

Command structure falls

into

one

of

three

groups:

1.

Perform a

function.

2. Assign a

variable.

3. Query a

variable.

P

er

f

orm

a

Function

A

function performs an operation

that

may

or

may

not

display any results.

A

function may

not be

queried.

An

example

of

a function

is to write the

variable settings

to

flash memory

using

rfid:cfg.write

CR

.

Certain functions

that

display a value

or

series

of

values display

the

string between curly braces

for

easy parsing. For example,

the rfid:qid

function

output displays:

{0x00BB,

1,

0x0000

,80;0x00000080

1CD19

31B2F14}

chr

.

3)

displa

y

before

the

card data. For example,

if

rfid:count.lead

is

set

to

1,

only one character displays before

the

card

data

and

chr.2 and chr.3 can be set as post delimiters. Then rfid:count.trail can have a value

of

0

delimit

er

.

The same character can

not

be used

for both

a leading

The pcProx Plus reader has multiple configurations.

Each has

the

settings associated

with

a card

characters

‘x0A’

and ‘@’ when

the ID

card

is

removed

if

they are

not ‘00’.

rfid:cmd.echo=True

flash memory using cfg.write.

It

defaults

to true

on

cfg.reset.

r

fid:cmd.prompt=T

rue

This command displays

the prompt

when true.

If

false,

the prompt

does

not

display. This value can

f

ac.s

trip=F

alse

This command separates

the

FAC

from the

true

so

it

can be independently

formatted

for

display.

If

false,

the

FAC code

is not

separated

from the

card

data.

r

fid:disp

.id.digits=16

This command sets

the

digits so

the left

most significant digits

will

be truncated. For example,

if the

card data

is

1234 and id.digits=3, then only

234

displays.

If the

card data

= 8

formats

the display

width by

truncating digits

or

adding leading

zeros.

rfid:disp.id.hex=False

Displays

the

card data as hexadecimal when true.

If

false, card data displays as a

decimal.

rfid:op.beep=True

rfid:op.cont=False

This command sets

the

device

to

continuously read when true.

It tells the

device

to

the

device.

If

false,

the

device only sends card data

once.

rfid:op.sdk=False

This command stops

the

device

from

displaying

the

card data when true, so

the qid or

SDK API

call

must be used

When true the

device

will

send

the

data via keystrokes

or serial

depending on device

t

ype

/

model.

rfid:out.beep=False

This command makes

Troubleshooting

If the

device

is not

working

or the

following error message

displays:

1. Check

to

be sure

the

device

is

plugged

into the

USB

or

RS-232 port.

When the

workstation

is

on and no card

is

being read,

the

LED

is

red.

A

valid

proximity

card causes

the

LED

to turn

green, provided

the

configuration

is not

set

to

only read certain

bit lengths.

2.

Only one

COM port

application can

own the

RS-232

port at

a time. Make sure there

is not

another

COM port

application running. This prevents

our

software

from

seeing

the device.

3. Verify the

correct model and

the

software configuration

screen agrees

with the device

attached.

4. Verify the port

agrees

with the

workstation

c

onnect

or

.

5. If the

device

still

does

not

work, unplug

it,

remove ‘General USB Device’ using

Windows

‘Control

Panel’

a

‘Add/Remove’

Hardware. Then reboot

the

workstation.

When the

workstation boots up, re-attach

the

device USB and

the

OS should re-install

the Windows

driver

automatically

.

Change

the

release

time to 1000

on

the

Timing

tab for

USB keystrokes

to

slow down

the

de

vic

e.

Open Notepad

or Word

and swipe a card

Why

mus

t

I poll the

USB card

reader?

The nature

of

USB

is not

event driven per se,

it

operates on a

host

/

client

protocol

that during

enumeration asks

the

host

to poll at

a specific rate.

As

a keyboard

we

are polled

by the

OS

every

10msec,

the

same speed your keyboard and mouse is.

We

use feature

report

packets

to configure

the

readers.

We

also communicate

to the

DLL API through Feature Reports

for HID

devices. The

AK0

units

that

are RS-232

or

CDC can speak English

with

using

the

ASCII

COMMAND

PROTOCOL

such

as

“rfid:help”

in

Hyper Terminal

or putt

y

.

We

recommend you

poll the

units every 250msec

for the

card id, except

for AK0 unit

and

this with

a QueuedID, as

the

reader

will report the

age

of the

card

id

up

to 52

minutes.

Without the

SDK

the

units can send unsolicited card

id

when

the

card

is in the

rf

field. These appear as USB keystrokes

or

Serial data

for

RS-232 and CDC models. Take a look

at the

pcProx manuals

it

may help you get a better idea

of the AK0

protocol. The

HID is

a proprietary

binary

protocol, where as

the AK0

units are open

protocol.

P

r

ecautions

Do

not

mount

the

device directly on a metal surface. This could interfere

with the

RF signal and

the

operation

of the device.

The device may

not

recognize valid cards

presence

Appendix

Standard

26 Bit

Format

Structur

e

There are several

bits

constructed together

that

comprise data sent

from the proximity

card

to the

device. There are numerous

bit

formats and lengths

for proximity

cards. The most popular

is

a

26

bit

card format. The typical layout

for this format is 24 bits of

usable information as

the first

and last

are

parity bits to

ensure data

int

egrity

.

The

26 bit format

consists

of

255 possible

facility

codes.

Within

each

facility

code there

is

a

total of

65,535 unique card

numbers.

The standard

26 bit

Wiegand

format is

H10

30

1.

It is

binary encoded data. The

format

consists

of 2

parity

bits,

8 bit facility

code

(F)

and 16

bit

card number fields

(B).

In

general,

the 26 bit format is the

industry standard format. Primary benefits

of this include:

•

Open

format

•

Convenient

to order

•

Universal access control panel ac

c

eptanc

e

The sale

of this format is not limited to

any one company

yet the

range

of

card numbers available

in

this format is

limited. There

is

a potential

for

card numbers

to

be

duplicated.

Please go

the card

format.

Use

for

Password

Security -

Complex

Passwords

It is

possible

with

certain limitations,

to

use

the proximity

t

oken

as a password

for

an application

or

operating system log on. The unique card bit-stream c

onv

er

t

ed

to

either decimal

or hexadecimal

becomes

the

entire

or

a portion

of the

password. Enroll

this

card data

to the

password

of the

operating system application

for the

user

.

Since

the proximity

t

oken

has no

read/write

memory there

is

no way go change

this or

writ

e

alphanumeric characters such as a user name

to the proximity

t

ok

en.

Some examples are

shown

below. Please see RF

IDeas pcProx Playback

Star

t

er

Kit or

call

the

Sales

Department

if this capability

is needed.

Several companies have adopted a policy

that

requires users

to

change

their

password every

xx

number

of

days

to

increase security. The PIN

is the

portion

of the

password

the

user changes

every

xx

number

of

days. Since

the

card data

is

completely numeric, any alpha and

upper/lower

case

letter

constraints are handled

in the

user supplied

PIN.

A two-factor

authentication system

is

made up

of:

1.

Card

ID data

2. Personal

Identification Number

(PIN)

The device may be configured

to

allow operation under either a one

or two-factor authentication

system.

One-Factor

In

a one-factor system,

the

user simply scans

the ID

card. The device may be configured

to

add

TAB

keystrokes ahead

of the

data as

well

as a TAB

or

ENTER

keystroke after

the

card

data.

Two-Factor

The

two-factor

approach

is

especially useful when insisting on password construction rules

or

periodic changing

of passwords.

In

a

two-factor

system,

the

user may enter

the

PIN either before

or

after

the

card data.

If the user

adds

the

PIN before

the

card data,

the

device may be configured

to

append

the

ENTER

keystroke.

Pre and Post

Characters

There are some additional measures

that

can be taken

to

make

it

more

difficult for

unauthoriz

ed

users

to

reproduce

passwords.

Adding additional keystroke characters

to the

card information,

that is difficult to

re-produce,

while

configuring

the

data. These additional characters are labeled as

Sp1, Sp2, and Sp3 on

the delimeters

tab

menu

selections.
