Programming the Card Reader
tSec Readers can be programmed for a wide range of functionality to suit your site's requirements.
Card reader programming is configured by applying specific TLV (Type Length Value) settings to the reader to
enable, disable and configure reader options. tSec Reader configuration can be programmed using:
⦁ A mobile device running the Protege Config App
⦁ An encoded MIFAREconfig card
⦁ A 125kHz programming card
Programming options are dependent on hardware compatibility and firmware versions.
Important: tSec Readers can only be programmed within 2 minutes of startup. In order to program the reader
you will need to disconnect power and complete programming within 2 minutes of powering up.
For detailed information on programming tSec Readers, refer to AN-283: Programming tSec Reader Functions.
