RARC Program
This program enables programming and maintenance of the PRT series reader which are equipped
with serial communication interface.
RogerISP Program
This program enables firmware upgrade in access controllers and readers manufactured by Roger.
2. I M P O R T A N T N O T E S
The PRTxxMF reader can be configured for several operating modes however the factory shipped
unit is pre-configured for [030] Offline mode, Simple Standalone. The operating mode can be
changed:
Manually within Memory Reset procedure
Remotely from computer with RARC program
The PRTxxMF reader in standalone (offline) operating mode can be further programmed:
Remotely from computer with RARC program
Manually from the keypad located on primary reader (when available)
Manually from the keypad located on secondary reader (when available)
Manually by multiple readings of the Programming Card
In case of manual programming in standalone operating mode, it is necessary to use MASTER and
INSTALLER users. Each of them can have card and/or PIN. The reader is offered with
preprogrammed MASTER card but any EM125kHz standard cards can be programmed as MASTER
and INSTALLER within Memory Reset procedure.
Note: If after power up the LED SYSTEM (orange) is on it and the reader makes regular sounds
then it means that reader’s memory is corrupted. In this case reader must be programmed again
or returned to default settings with Memory Reset procedure.
2.1. COMPATIBILITY RULES
Always check the firmware and hardware version for which manual is dedicated. Using wrong
version of manual may cause that device will not behave as described in document.
Also, when you upgrade firmware in the reader assure that the new firmware is dedicated for given
type of reader (it must be clearly stated that given firmware is dedicated for given type of product
you have). Once the firmware is uploaded use adequate manual for the upgraded device.
2.2. ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is dedicated for all versions of PRTxxEM readers - with keypad and without keypad.
Each PRTxxEM reader regardless of built-in keypad represents the same logical functionality. The
only difference between various types of PRTxxEM series readers is limited to their mechanical
construction, environment in which they can be installed and keypad which is available in some of
PRTxxEM readers. Therefore, the same configuration settings can be used to program various
versions of PRTxxEM readers. Additionally, RARC program configuration settings can be transferred
(copied) between different versions of PRTxxEM readers.
Theoretically, it is possible to program and use PIN codes and other functions related with keypad
on PRTxxEM reader which is not physically equipped with keypad however it has practical
application only when such reader is operated in Full Standalone Mode and it is connected with
another (second) PRT reader which has built-in keypad. In such scenario users can use keypad to
enter commands (including PIN codes) on the second (slave) reader.
When PIN codes are programmed into reader without keypad it is obvious that they cannot be used
on this individual reader however still they will exist in configuration settings of this particular unit
and can be transferred from the reader to PC and then to another PRTxxEM reader.
3. G E N E R A L D E S C R I P T I O N
The PRTxxEM readers are designed for use in access control installations to enable user
identification via EM 125 KHz (and compatible) proximity cards and/or PIN-s.
