Protege Config App
The Protege Config App provides a secure, convenient and flexible method for programming a Bluetooth-enabled
ICT card reader.
Programming Summary
To program a card reader using the Config App:
1. Log in to the app using your app account.
2. Select your Credential Profile.
Your credential profile is automatically assigned to your app account with your mobile credential, and is
based on the credential issuer and the site the credential was allocated to.
3. Create a Reader Configuration (config) comprising the required TLVsettings.
4. Activate Bluetooth® on your device (if not already activated).
5. Power cycle the reader you want to program.
6. Select the config to program the reader with.
7. Apply the configuration to the reader, within two minutes of startup. Hold your mobile device close to the
reader and tap Scan Closest to apply the configuration.
When programming is successful the reader will beep 4 times quickly, then restart.
Prerequisites
Config App
To use the Config App you will need:
⦁ An app account
⦁ A mobile credential
If you already have a Protege Mobile App account and mobile credential (product code: PRX-MCR), these same
login credentials can be used to access the Config App.
If you do not have a Protege mobile credential, contact ICT Customer Services to be issued one for use with the
Config App. You can make a new app account after installing the app (see next page).
Card Reader
To use the Config App to program a card reader, the reader must meet the following requirements:
⦁ Firmware version 1.04.254 or higher
⦁ Bluetooth® capability
⦁ RGB LEDs (if configuring LED colors)
Firmware version: It is not possible to specifically identify the firmware version on a reader. The version the reader
was shipped with can be checked by contacting ICT Technical Support and providing the reader's serial number.
Alternatively, upgrade the firmware to a known compatible version.
Bluetooth® capability: The sticker on the back of the reader identifies the hardware configuration. The Model code
must contain BT to signify that the reader is Bluetooth® enabled.
