2.2.2 Initializing the Reader
The SmartTOUCH
TM
Xtreme reader is shipped with factory default parameters.
These parameters must first be initialized with the appropriate Config card to
enable the reader to function properly with your system. The Config card provides
parameters for:
o Which data to read for the access control information?
o How and where to store and retrieve the fingerscan data.
o A unique key for the reader. This key ensures that only your Enroll card/
Erase card can be used to write fingerscan templates on an ISO 14443
card. If one Enroll card is to be used on several readers, these readers
must all be configured using the appropriate Config card.

o Enroll mode: for writing fingerscan templates on ISO 14443 cards.
o Erase mode: for erasing fingerscan templates from ISO 14443 cards.
o Access mode: for reading and verification of access control data from ISO
14443 cards.
2.3.1 Enroll mode: storing a fingerscan template in an ISO 14443
card
Enroll mode is used for writing fingerscan templates on ISO 14443 cards. One or
two finger scans can be written on an ISO 14443 card using the enroll card. See
2.4 The Enroll card and the Erase card on page 6 for more information concerning
the Enroll card. Carrying out the procedure in this section will write one template
to the card. The second fingerscan template is written to the card if the procedure
is repeated.
A valid Enroll card is necessary to switch the reader from the initial Access mode
to Enroll mode.
