Enable CSN Reading Mode
By default, tSec Readers will read ICT secured formats from high frequency cards. However, for lower security
sites using third-party cards it can be useful to read and send the Card Serial Number (CSN) instead.
WARNING: The CSN of your MIFARE card can be read and duplicated by anyone with access to the card. It is
not recommended to use CSN reading on high security sites.
1. Log in to the ICT Encoder Client using your secure operator login.
2. Select the required Customer.
3. Right click the Reader Configuration component and create a New Config called CSN Reading Mode.
4. Click Add and select the Card Serial Number Reading option.
5. Select all the appropriate CSNReading options to enable, then click Ok.
6. Save your configuration.
7. Right click your new CSN Reading Mode config and click Encode.
8. Place your blank MIFARE Classic card on the desktop encoder.
9. Click Write Config and wait for the 'programming success' message.
You can now apply the configuration to the required reader(s). Power cycle the reader, and within two minutes
place and hold the CSN Reading Mode config card close to the reader.
