Image 1: Card Reader Overview 1.
1.4 Credential Form Factors Credentials are inactive electronic devices that rely on readers to supply the required power for start-up and communication. The credential itself, consists of antennas that produce proximity or contactless frequencies. Proximity and contactless smart card technology cards allow users to effortlessly manage multiple applications through a single credential. Data: The data on access cards are a string of binary numbers set with a fixed configuration and length.
1.6 Reader Configuration Purposes The method of encoding data on a card and transmitting data to the reader differs accordingly in each technology involved. The reader itself is not aware of the makeup of the card data format or access privileges for the cardholder. This information is only accessible through the configuration process of the reader utilizing the supplied software.
Chapter 2. Hardware 2.1 What’s in Your Part Number? All RF IDeas reader part numbers follow a distinct system of categorization to allow for an ease of differentiation between products.
