FlexSmart MIFARE/DESFire - 13.56 MHz, Wiegand, RS-232, Beep, LED, LED Flash, 34-bit, Mifare Card Serial number plus beginning/ending parity, Beige
The Model 6055B HID MIFARE Reader is a multi-purpose contactless card reader/writer, with both Wiegand and RS232 ports, as well as external control lines for LED and Beeper control.
<b>Compatible Cards</b>
The 6055B is designed for use with the following MIFARE contactless smart cards:
- HID Model 1430 with Philips S50 Standard card IC.
- HID Model 1431 with 125 kHz proximity and Philips S50 Standard card IC.
- Cards using Philips S50 or compatible Infineon Card IC
- Card using Philips Mifare Pro IC, emulating the S50 in contactless mode
- Card using Philips Mifare Lite (reads Card Serial Number only)
These cards operate at 13.56 MHz and meet the ISO 14443-A standard for contactless smart cards.
<b>Operational Modes</b>
The 6055B HID MIFARE Reader has two operational modes:
Security Mode - Wiegand reader function. The reader defaults to this mode, intended for use with an access control panel. The reader will output OEM card data or the Mifare 32-bit Card Serial Number in Wiegand format. This data is also transmitted in Hexadecimal format on the RS232 port.
Transaction Mode – Non-access control function. The reader responds to external commands received at the RS-232 port, typically connected to a host PC or micro-controller. The software developer or system integrator must incorporate HID’s communications protocol into the host software or firmware to communicate with the reader.
<b>USING THE 6055 IN SECURITY MODE</b>
In security mode, the 6055B typically transmits OEM card data in Wiegand format data exactly as it is encoded onto the card. The only exception to this is when the reader is configured to transmit the 32-bit Card Serial Number (CSN), in which case there are several configurable options for data output formats.
<b>HID Factory Encoded MIFARE Cards</b>
HID can encode OEM Wiegand card data onto new MIFARE cards at the factory into the same formats provided on 125 kHz cards, including the new Long Format. The customer simply orders MIFARE cards with Wiegand encoding by specifying:
- HID format number
- Facility Code
- ID range
- Additional fields, such as Issue Level, OEM Code, etc.
- Ink jetting
The OEM card data bears no relationship to the unique random 32-bit CSN. HID normally encodes the Wiegand OEM card data into Sector 1 of the MIFARE card and protects the data with an HID proprietary key, which is not published The HID proprietary key is also securely stored in each HID MIFARE reader.
On HID factory encoded cards, all sectors including the MIFARE Applications Directory are protected with Philips default keys (except for sector 1, which contains access control data, Figure 1). These keys are published, and are present in most generic MIFARE readers. Only HID readers have the HID keys, which enable the readers to read HID access control data. (HID keys also have Philips default keys for use in transaction mode.)
