5.5 Keypad Data Mode Control Card
On the P-600 Rocky Proximity Reader and Keypad, the Wiegand data transmission setting
for the keypad is capable of transmitting data in 8-bit burst or Wiegand 26-bit
1
. The
keypad uses a Keypad Data Mode control card to change between the 8-bit burst and 26-
bit Wiegand data modes. The factory default setting for the keypad portion of the P-600
Rocky Proximity Reader and Keypad is 8-bit burst mode.
5.6 Magnetic Stripe Format Lock Control Card
Pyramid readers can transmit data in the format of the presented credential (either
magnetic stripe or Wiegand)
2
or can be “locked” so that regardless of the format of the
presented credential, the data transmitted to the access panel is always in magnetic stripe
format (ABA Track-II, per Dorado’s defacto industry standard – using the clock and data
line data transfer method). The factory default setting for the Pyramid Readers is for a
reader to transmit data in the format of the presented credential.
5.7 Wiegand Format Lock Control Card
Pyramid readers can transmit data in the format of the presented credential (either
magnetic stripe or Wiegand)
1
or can be "locked" so that regardless of the format of the
presented credential, the data transmitted to the access panel is always in Wiegand
format. The factory default setting for Pyramid Readers is for a reader to transmit data in
the format of the presented credential.
5.8 Non-Stop Output Control Card
The reader can be configured so that the reader outputs the data of the presented
credential as long as the credential is within the reader’s read range. The Non-Stop
Output control card changes the reader between sending the output data from a
presented credential once or continuously while the credential is within read range. The
factory default setting for Pyramid Readers is for a reader to transmit data to the access
panel once for each individual credential presentation.
1. The keypad portion of the P-600 outputs data only in a Wiegand format, either the default 8-bit
burst format or the optional 26-bit Wiegand format. When the reader portion of the P-600 is fixed
in a magnetic stripe output mode, keypad operation is suppressed.
2. If the reader is configured to be HID compatible and is reading an HID Clock and Data formatted
card, the data transmitted will be in Wiegand format.
