The reader can be connected as an HBUS Reader or Cardax IV Reader. An HBUS Reader uses the HBUS
communicaons protocol to communicate with the Gallagher Controller. A Cardax IV Reader uses the
Cardax IV Reader communicaons protocol to communicate with the Gallagher Controller.
IMPORTANT: HBUScompability
HBUS communicaons are supported with sites running Gallagher Command Centre vEL7.00 soware
(or later).
IMPORTANT: MulTechreaders
Using dual technology 125/Mifare cards with Gallagher Mul Tech readers may cause both card
technologies to be read, resulng in double card badges and unusual reader feedback. Gallagher
strongly recommends against using dual technology 125/Mifare cards with Mul Tech readers for sites
running pre-Command Centre v7.00 soware. From Command Centre v7.00, a site may specify which
technology a Mul Tech reader should read o a dual technology card.
IMPORTANT: Mobilecredenalreaders
Gallagher Mul Tech readers support Gallagher mobile credenals using Bluetooth® wireless
technology. Mobile credentials are supported with sites running Gallagher Command Centre vEL7.60
soware (or later). To use mobile credenals, the Mul Tech reader must be connected as an HBUS
Reader.
