extra RS-232 characters may be sent.
Why is it necessary?
With the proliferation of PC’s, cash machines,
security systems, and electronic locks, users are
increasingly burdened with the requirement of
entering identification information to gain access
or show they have accessed systems.
There are a few reasons for users to investigate
the benefits derived by using this system.
Identification Entry Errors
The pcProx reader eliminates the burden and
typographical errors associated with manual
entry.
Magnetic stripe reader and card reliability
Often times employee identification is done
using magnetic stripe technology. This
technology is very inexpensive; however it is
also prone to read problems due to wear and
dirt. The cards have a limited life since they get
scratched easily. The readers pick up dirt and
oils and this causes damage to the read head
itself.
Proximity technology is based on a contact-less
interface and therefore is not subject to reliability
issues. Users experience a short payback period
since help desks and repeated reads are no
longer necessary.
How Does the System Work?
Each time proximity token is read, the LED on
the pcProx will change from red to green
indicating success.
