Configuring the reader/writer
The Prox–DU and Prox–SU device’s configuration is stored into an internal EEPROM
memory specifying various parameters used by the devices for their operation.
For normal use it is not needed to modify the reader/writer’s configuration.
These parameters can be modified if needed using the “Write EEPROM” and “Read
EEPROM” commands supported by the HID interface. Refer to the “Proprietary commands
on the HID interface” paragraph for more information.
Note: Special care should be considered on the understanding of the parameters. A
modified value may result in an unexpected operation of the Prox–DU and Prox–SU device
if the parameter is not known by the user.
