ICT PRX-TSEC - MIFARE Config Card; ICT Encoder Client

MIFARE Config Card
A MIFARE config card provides a quick and secure method for programming a tSec Reader, by simply placing
and holding the card close to the reader.
To use a config card to program a tSec Reader, the reader must meet the following requirements:
⦁ Firmware version 1.04.229 or higher
Using a config card to program a tSec Reader requires a suitably configured MIFARE card. These can be
ordered from the ICT customer services team (Ordering code: PRX-ISO-CONFIG).
For details on available programming configurations, refer to AN-283: Programming tSec Reader Functions.
Alternatively, config cards can be configured using the ICT Encoder Client. This provides a flexible and
convenient method for programming readers as and when needed. For information on the encoding process
and requirements, refer to the PRX-ENC ICT Encoder Client User Manual, available on the ICT Website.
Programming Summary
To program a tSec Reader using a config card:
1. Power cycle the reader you want to program.
2. Within two minutes, place and hold the config card close to the reader.
When programming is successful, the reader will beep 5 times quickly then restart.
ICT Encoder Client
The ICT Encoder Client is a software application that allows users to encode credentials for use with their ICT
tSec Readers, Protege access control system, and optionally other third-party systems.
It also provides the ability to create customized config cards that can be used to program the functions of a
tSec Reader.
To use the Encoder Client to program a config card you will need:
⦁ A secure operator login
⦁ A correctly configured desktop encoder:
PRX-ENC-DT - Desktop USB ISO14443-A and B Proximity Card Encoder
⦁ A blankMIFARE Classic card to encode (Ordering code: PRX-ISO-MF-BLANK)
⦁ Sufficient encoding credits
Programming Summary
To encode a config card that will be used to program tSec Readers:
1. Log in to the Encoder Client using your secure operator login.
2. Select the required Customer (this will typically be the site).
3. Create a Reader Configuration (config) comprising the required TLVsettings.
4. Place the blank MIFAREcard on the desktop encoder and click WriteConfig to write the config to the card.
