ICT Protege - Reader Output and Tamper Settings; Custom RS485 Format; Access Credentials Configuration

Output Mode
Set the reader output mode to configure its operating protocol.
⦁ Output Mode:
- Wiegand
- ICT Smart Reader (RS485)
- Custom Serial (RS485)
- Smart Serial:This mode is valid for reader firmware up to and including version 1.04.260
- OSDP: This mode is valid for reader firmware 1.04.261 and above
The reader output mode automatically switches to ICT Smart Reader (RS485) when connected with RS-485
wiring configuration.
Tamper
The Tamper TLV is used to enable/disable intelligent reader tamper mode for detecting readers which have been
disconnected. When enabled, the reader will check in to the device it is connected to every 30 seconds.
Custom RS485 Format
Specify the format to use when the reader Output Mode has been set to Custom Serial (RS485) (see above).
⦁ Custom Format: Enter the string to configure the output format of data when in custom RS-485 output mode.
- %s = Site Decimal
- %S = Site Hex
- %c = Card Decimal
- %C = Card Hex
- %e = CSN Decimal
- %E = CSN Hex
- %p = Padded CSNDecimal
- %P = Padded CSNHex
For example: "%s:%c" will output 233:4555 for a card with a site code of 233 and card number of 4555.
Access Credentials
Customize the reader configuration to enable reading of different types of credentials.
Changing this setting has the potential to render the reader unusable.
This TLV only configures the credential structure. Before this can be utilized by the reader you will need to:
⦁ add the encryption key to a Keyslot (see page20)
⦁ add your custom format string to a Custom Card Format Slot (see page16)
⦁ create a Card Linkage (see page15) to link all the elements together
A programming example is provided to help illustrate this process (see page28).
