The PREMIUM-MFS is a Mifare reader that is user configurable to read data from a designated sector using a designated key. As this data cannot be copied from the Mifare card, it provides a secure card reader.

PREMIUM-MFS card readers are supplied in a factory reset state and are programmed using a configuration card. On first time power-up, the reader LED’s indicate that the reader needs to be configured.

The configuration card is prepared using the Secure Card Software and the MFPROG Mifare Card programmer.

The configuration card specifies the sector and key that contain the card data. It also specifies the reader output format.

A reader can be reconfigured at a future date to have a different sector / key, but only if the initial configuration permits this feature. In this way malevolent reconfiguration of the reader can be prevented.

To ensure security, there is no back-door to reset the reader. If the sector / key are lost, the reader can only be reset to the factory default setting by reloading the reader firmware.

User cards may be created using the Secure Card programming software.

The reader has Wiegand, Clock&Data and RS232 outputs and supports a number of formats.

The reader can be set to control the LED’s and sounder. They can always be externally controlled.
