Config Example: ISO14443 Gain for EV2 Tags
The ISO 14443 Modulation and Gain TLV is used to customize reader modulation and gain settings to allow the
reader to read specific frequency formats. This setting configures the MFRC522 NFC chip, which controls the
13.56MHz antenna. MIFARE, DESFire and mobile NFC are all affected by this setting.
This setting has the potential to prevent the reader from reading 13.56MHz cards, including programming cards.
To read DESFire EV2 tags, the ISO14443 gain should be set to 6. Some card reader firmware versions do not
contain the required ISO14443 gain configuration by default, so it is necessary to program the configuration.
1. Log in to the Protege Config App, using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
3. Add a new Reader Configuration called ISO14443 Gain for EV2 Tags.
4. Tap the Add TLV dropdown and select the Hex option.
5.
In the Hex field, enter the ISO14443 Gain 6 hex code 180106, then tap Save.
You can now apply the configuration to the required reader(s). Power cycle the reader and select and apply your
new ISO14443 Gain for EV2 Tags config within two minutes of startup.
Config Example: Set Wiegand Output Mode
To configure the reader to output Wiegand data:
1. Log in to the Protege Config App, using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
3. Add a new Reader Configuration called Wiegand Output Mode.
4. Tap the Add TLV dropdown and select the Output Mode option.
5. Set the Output Mode to Wiegand Output, then tap Save.
You can now apply the configuration to the required reader(s). Power cycle the reader and select and apply your
new Wiegand Output Mode config within two minutes of startup.
