What is pcProx
®
Proximity Activated
Identification?
The pcProx Configuration software together with
the pcProx proximity reader makes up proximity
activated identification system. This is used to
identify users by using their existing proximity
token.
Typical applications include:
• General identification of badge number
into any application,
• Enrollment of new employees or
badges,
• Verification that badge ID numbers are
written or have the correct information,
• Logon reader that uses the proximity
card number a either the entire
password or a portion of it,
• Purchase meals in cafeterias,
• And much more.
The pcProx Reader
The USB reader has two primary modes of
operation.
First it may be set up to operate as a USB
keyboard. In this mode the user’s ID from the
proximity token is read and is sent as keystrokes
as if the user typed in the ID number using the
keyboard. This is because the USB reader is
actually implemented as a keyboard.
