Reader Re-programming
The ACTpro MIFARE readers will ship from the factory pre-congured to
read ACT MIFARE cards and fobs. The ACT pro MIFARE reader can also
be recongured for serial or reverse-serial by repositioning the jumpers.
(See section on reader conguration)
On sites with an existing installation of MIFARE cards, it may be necessary
to re-program MIFARE readers so that data on the existing MIFARE
cards can be read. The ACTpro MIFARE readers are re-programmed
using a programming card.
The programming card can be generated on site using ACTenterprise
software and an ACTpro USB reader (ACTinstall->Advanced Setup
->card conguration->MIFARE format). You will require the following
information on how the existing cards are encoded before generating
the programming card: Data Format, Data Orientation, Start and End
Byte Position and Read/Write Keys.
To re-program an ACTpro MIFARE reader the programming card must
be presented to the reader after power up and while the LED is Red.
The ACTpro MIFARE will acknowledge the re-programming by playing
an ascending note tune. (Conguration is held in non-volatile memory)
Readers that have been re-programmed may be reset to read ACT
issued MIFARE cards and fobs with an ACT Default Programming Card.
ACTpro MIFARE readers that have been programmed to read non ACT
MIFARE cards and fobs will play a series of ascending notes after being
powered up in addition to the standard beep codes, this is to indicate
that it no longer reads the MIFARE cards and fobs issued by ACT.
Please see the “Application for an ACTpro MIFARE reader programming
card” document for details on obtaining a programming card.
