5Wireless Identification OverviewpcProx® Activated IdentificationEmployers 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:• Card Enrollment• Application log-on• Form filler to existing software applications• PC/LAN Log On• Cafeteria Purchases/Vending• Machine Access• PLC and embedded controllers• Time/AttendanceOur pcProx Plus devices are easily configured to increase security and reliability. Companies using proximity and/or contactless technology for building access immediately benefit, as their employee identification cards can also be used with the proximity/contactless 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 Software Developer’s Kit (SDK).1The Basics

ID Card Reader SystemOutput Formats6 Chapter 1 The Basics

7 Chapter 1 The BasicsCredential Form FactorsCredentials are inactive electronic devices that rely on readers to supply the required power for start-up and communication. The credential itself, consists of antennas that produce proximity or contactless frequencies. Proximity and contactless smart card technology cards allow users to effortlessly manage multiple applications through a single credential. 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 kHz (proximity) band and/or the high-frequency 13.56 MHz (contactless) band.Credential Form Factors: With over 300 million physical access credentials in use worldwide, there are a variety of low and high frequency form factors customers can choose from to meet their particular needs.The below illustrates some of the various form factors available.CSN: Also known as the Card Serial Number, is part of the ISO 15693 standard for vicinity cards operating at the 13.56 MHz frequency.UID: The User ID or User Identification, can be encoded as data on the card when a security key is needed.

8 Chapter 1 The BasicsManufacturer/Vendor Card CompatibilityPlease go to www.RFIDeas.com for specific device part numbers associated to card types.Reader Configuration PurposesThe method of encoding data on a card and transmitting data to the reader differs accordingly to each technology 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 ReaderThe pcProx Plus is a dual frequency programmable reader that combines 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz technologies into the same reader. It’s the only reader in the industry that reads two cards of your choice among 35 card types, 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.

9What’s In Your Part Number?All RF IDeas reader part numbers follow a distinct system of categorization to allow for an ease of differentiation between products. Below is the basic part number scheme. RDR - 6 3 8 1 A K U Reader Type: The reader type distinguishes between standard reader, OEM, converter, mag-stripe, or a kit.Frequency: RF IDeas’ access control readers are available in low-frequency 125 kHz (proximity) or high-frequency 13.56 MHz (contactless).Card Type: The card type allows for the selection of over 35 different card types for reader compatibility (Please visit www.RFIDeas.com, choose a product and locate the Part Numbers tab for specific device part numbers associated to card types). Housing: This option provides the user to select the form factor housing for the desired reader. The housings include; desktop, wall mount, USB dongle, PCMCIA, bare board, ExpressCard, or custom. (For more on form factors, please visit www.RFIDeas.com)Model: The model selection corresponds to the type of reader, whether it is a standard, writer (13.56 MHz contactless only), playback (13.56 MHz contactless only), SDK, or analyzer. Version: The version refers to the selection of either our standard or custom build.Housing Color: The color category simply allows for the selection of either our black or pearl housings. (Applies only to desktop and wall mount housings)Interface: This option specifies the type of connection for the reader (i.e. USB, RS-232, PCMCIA, etc).2HardwareReader Type Frequency Card TypeHousingModelVersionHousing Color Interface

11 Chapter 2 HardwareUSB Readers and Wiegand ConvertersThe pcProx USB keystroke device operates in two primary modes:• USB keyboard. It reads the card data and sends it as keystrokes as if the user typed the ID data on a keyboard.• Under the application programmer interface (API) defined in the pcProx SDK. When it reads card data, the active application receives the entire card data.Note: The pcProx ExpressCard and PCMCIA operate as USB readers. RS-232 Readers and ConvertersThe RS-232, Ethernet, or virtual COM port device operates in two primary modes: 1. ASCII output device. In this mode the user card data is read and sent as a decimal or hexadecimal number in ASCII characters.2. API defined in the pcProx SDK. The device attaches to a computer serial port. When it reads card data, the active application receives the entire card data.Once the configuration settings are correctly configured and written to flash memory, the device can immediately be deployed.Minimum System RequirementsMinimum System Requirements HARDWARE Pentium class PC MEMORY 32 MB RAM DISK 25 MB hard disk space I/O 1 available RS-232 or USB Port Operating System Any operating system that supports a USB keyboard including Microsoft Windows 2000®, XP®, Vista®, 7®, Server 2003®, Server 2008®, Linux, Macintosh®. Can be used for keystroke applicationsNote: The software does not perform any data validation checking. The data must be known before it is read to verify its validity.

12 Chapter 2 HardwareReader Set-Up BasicsPlug the connector into the workstation’s (or available on any peripheral) open RS-232, USB or Ethernet plug.Place the device next to the monitor, beside the workstation, or where appropriate. The workstation should detect new hardware for USB connections. Verify the workstation recognizes this connection using Device Manager’.Verify the correct COM port for RS-232 DB9 connections using ‘Device Manager.’ When the software is installed, it should recognize these connections in order to configure the appropriate device. Once the device is configured and written to its flash memory, these settings will not have to be configured again.LED BeeperThe desktop, USB dongle, wall mount, and bare board (OEM) model readers are all equipped with a light up LED on the front cover. The LED is configurable through the utility software (See LED and Beeper functions in the Software section) to allow the device to produce a beep upon light up of the LED when a credential is detected by the reader.

13pcProx Configuration UtilityThe pcProx Configuration Utility provides users with the ability to configure their pcProx Enroll, pcProx Plus, or Wiegand devices to meet their needs. Through the configuration process, desired credential data output and access privileges for cardholders can be established. In contrast to the pcProx Enroll readers, for which only one configuration can be programmed into the reader, the utility allows the pcProx Plus configuration process to create two separate configurations for users.

When a two configuration device is connected, the icon text will change to read “Write Active,” as seen below. Status Bar Message

22 Chapter 3 SoftwarepcProx Plus ConfigurationThis section is only available to configure selections when a two configuration device (pcProx Plus) is connected to the utility. Note: When a single configuration device is connected to the utility, the pcProx Plus Configuration area 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 two 13.56 MHz. The configurations can also be of the same card type. The device is set with two default configuration settings, the HID Prox and RDR-758x Equivalent (covers 5 different card types; HID iCLASS CSN, ISO 14443A CSN, ISO 15693A CSN, MIFARE CSN, MIFARE DESFire CSN). Note: If configuring the system for HID 26 bit and HID 35 bit, remember to set one configuration to read only 26 bits and the other configuration to read only 35 bits. Configuration # (Number): This option provides the ability to switch between configurations. Users can set and edit settings for two separate configurations quickly and easily.Card Type Drop-Down Menu: As stated above, the device is set with two default configuration settings, the HID Prox and RDR-758x Equivalent. This drop-down menu lets users choose the desired card type for their own configuration settings. Each configuration has the ability to have separate card types. High Priority: Provides a pcProx Plus user the ability to give a certain configuration a higher priority than another. This is useful when the user has a population of cards consisting of a combination of 13.56MHz/125kHz cards as well as single-technology cards, and one of those is preferred over the other. The High Priority bit increases the time it takes to read the card. When the High priority bit is set, the reader will try to read that card type 10 times before switching to the other configuration.

The first, second, third, and fourth byte of the TCP/IP address need to be entered for the interface to connect to the reader. The IP port number will also be required. Port Option: Allows for changing the port location. Xport port location needs to match this number Note: Ports below 1024 are for system use only.Find Next IP Button: Looks for other readers on the same ethernet connection.Device List Pull-down: Lists the devices that the utility is actively connected to.For Example, if you have an RJ45 connector (as seen below) then the specific logical protocol connection to be selected is Ethernet. Note: Remember, not all USB interface connections do not necessarily logically connect through USB. If your device has a USB connector, and your device part number suffix is xx0 or xxF, the logical protocol connection is made through COM. A device with a USB interface connector and a part number suffix of xxU will connect through the USB connect option.CONNECTORS

25 Chapter 3 SoftwareOutput Test AreaThis is the test area for the keystrokes entered by the reader. On serial devices this displays the unsolicited serial port data.The Auto GetID box can be checked for the utility to poll the reader for a card ID every 500msec and displays the results directly under the checkbox, as seen below.The Auto Focus box keeps the cursor in the test area box to capture the keystrokes output by the device. Note: When the Auto Focus box is checked, it is possible that the selection may conflict with the menus and drop downs, due to the fact that the cursor will attempt to move back into the test area. If this problem arises, simply uncheck the box. The Auto Clear box auto selects all text in the Output Test Area, so that new keystrokes output by the device will replace old text.The Clear button erases all text in the Output Test Area each time the user manually presses the clear button. The Test button (Green Flag) starts the batch file “testarea.bat” or script “testarea” to bring up a users own application to view the readers keystrokes.

$45ASCII OverviewASCII Command Protocol (ACP) allows the user to talk directly to the device without a DLL or specialapplication. The serial Prox communicates using ASCII commands. Printable ASCII commands at9600 baud, no parity 1 stop bit, and no echo, can be sent to the device.Note: USB devices that are virtual COM port do not need the baud rate set. The input is buffered bythe device and executed when a carriage return (CR) or line feed line feed (LF) is typed. Theunit then parses the command and performs the operation, and displays the results or errorcode. “\r\nRF IDeas>” where \r represents a CR and \n represents a LF that displays on thecommand line.All commands begin with the prefix rfid: and end with a Return key, CR or LF.Determine the COM PortWindowsUse device manager to display the COM ports. Open the serial COM port. If it is a CDC virtual port,open the newly installed device that was created.LinuxMost Linux distributions include Minicom. Download putty (www.putty.org ) to communicate with the serial device if Minicom is not available.After the USB CDC device is enumerated on the Linux machine a device of either /dev/ttyACM0 or/dev/ttyACM1 is found in the /dev/directory. Minicom users may have to create a symbolic link from/dev/ttyACM0 to /dev/modem using the command ln -s /dev//tty/ACMO /dev/modem orln -s /dev/ttyACM1 /dev/modem.Mac OS XThe /dev/cu.usbmodemfa211 device is found on a Mac OS X . Use putty to communicate with thisdevice.4ASCII Command Protocol$

Connect Serial Communications ProgramOpen putty.exe. Click Connection a Serial and set the Speed (baud) to 9600, Data bits to 8, Stopbits to 1, and Parity to None. Flow control is not needed as there is no software or hardwarehandshaking.Click Session.Note: Use Hyper Terminal instead of putty with the XP operating system.46 Chapter 4 ASCII Command Protocol

Highlight the appropriate session. Click Save. Click Apply.Putty opens. Type rfid:help and press Enter. The Help command output displays. The complete listof Help command output is found in this section of the Configuration User Manual.Command StructureCommands are not case sensitive. Characters assigned to variables are case sensitive.· All commands begin with a prefix string followed by one or more token strings with a perioddelimiter 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 aquestion mark.· Any control characters other than CR, LF, and backspace terminate the command.· The Escape key cancels a command.The general syntax is:PREFIX TOKEN { DELIMITER TOKEN } { { =Value} | {?} }The prefix string is rfid:47 Chapter 4 ASCII Command Protocol

Command structure falls into one of three groups:1. Perform a function.2. Assign a variable.3. Query a variable.Perform a FunctionA function performs an operation that may or may not display any results. A function may not bequeried. An example of a function is to write the variable settings to flash memory usingrfid:cfg.write CR.Certain functions that display a value or series of values display the string between curly braces foreasy parsing. For example, the rfid:qid function output displays:{0x00BB,1,0x0000,80;0x000000801CD1931B2F14}Assign a VariableThere are three types of variables:1. Boolean2. Integer3.

For Example: pcProx Plus card types: rfid:cfg.card.type=0xFFFFExamples of Character Assignmentrfid:Delim.Chr.fac=’:’ CRrfid:Delim.Chr.fac=’x3a’ CR48 Chapter 4 ASCII Command Protocol

Query a VariableQuery a single variable to display its current value.· Booleans display as true or false.· Integers display as 0..255 with leading zero suppression.· Characters display as single quoted printable ASCII characters in the range 0x20..0x7E.· Values from 0x00 .. 0x1F and 0x7F..0xFF will be with a leading backslash lowercase x and thetwo digit upper case hex number.· The output of the variable displays between curly braces.For example: RF IDeas>rfid:out.led? {3}Variables are set and stored in RAM and are lost when the utility is closed. Use the cfg.write functionto write the RAM configuration to flash memory. Use the cfg.read function to read the flash memory.49 Chapter 4 ASCII Command Protocol
