WinDSX FAQ 12/10

The KeyMon program must be started each time Windows is started on the PC

where the key is located. Double clicking on the executable from Windows

Explorer can start the Key Monitor Program - KeyMon.exe. The KeyMon.exe can

also have a shortcut created so that it is launched from the Windows Desktop and

can be placed in the Windows “Startup” if desired

Stackable Device Types

 With Firmware Versions 3098 and higher (1040/22) and 569 and higher (1030/21)

Multiple device types can now be used simultaneously on the same reader.

In the past some Device Types such as D5 had multiple compatibilities. D5 would

decode standard 26 bit, DSX-33 bit, and DSX-37 bit.

With the newer firmware Multiple Device Types can be implemented (Stacked) by

assigning one Device Type that you need to Device 0 and the next one to

Device 1, the next one to Device 2, and so on.

1. If you are using the multiple compatibility of an existing Device Type and you

upgrade the firmware/flash in the controller(s), or once a new controller (containing

the new firmware/flash) has been added to the system, it will be necessary to assign

all of the Device Types required to the various Devices in the system.

2. If you require more Device Types than you have Devices, you can simply add an

additional Device and give it the Device Type you require even though

there will not actually be a controller with that address.

3. You cannot assign two different Device Types that are of the same bit length.

This means that you cannot have more than 1 device type of the same bit

length programmed in the system. There cannot be two different 26 bit formats or

two different 37 bit formats in the Device List. It is ok to have the same

Device Type more than once.

4. Once the different Device Types required have been addressed with the first few

devices in the list, the rest of the devices can have the same Device Type as

the rest of the list.

5. This feature only applies to Wiegand Formats. It cannot be used for Clock and

Data formats. Clock and Data formats are typically but not always used for

Magnetic Stripe and Barcode type readers.

6. The most common device types used for the Cards DSX sells is : WE-26bit, D5-

33bit, K0-35bit, L5-37bit.

 If the DSXFlash.exe program shuts down just after an attempted logon, the files

have probably not been copied to the WinDSX folder as directed in the How To

Flash*.txt file included with the transferred zip file.

 If the DSXFlash.exe program fails to complete a firmware upgrade, shut down any

and all Anti-Virus and Firewall programs. These have been known to block

communications.
