7. Cypress Data Wedge
The Cypress Wedge (part number WDG-4413) is used to add automatic Wiegand data entry to badging or
enrolling workstations. It converts badge information into keystrokes.
Connect the terminal, keyboard, and reader to the wedge. For detailed information, refer to the Cypress
documentation.
When a badge is swiped, the five digit facility code and five digit badge number are converted to equivalent
keystrokes. When enrolling a cardholder (after clicking [Add]), the cursor should be placed in the correct
field for the data to be populated. If this is not done prior to swiping a badge, a Search dialog will open,
allowing for a search on the badge ID.
In order for the wedge reader to function properly, a change must be made in the ACS.INI file. Under the
section [WEDGESCAN], specify the value for StartByte.
