Installation instructions for PREMIUM-MFS

If the mounting plate is used, the reader cable may be brought out of one of four exit points on the mounting plate: top, bottom, left or right. This enables the cable to be run on the surface of the wall. 

If no mounting plate is used, a minimum hole size of 6,5 mm must be drilled in the wall at the cable exit position as shown above to allow the cable to exit perpendicular to the reader.

The optional mounting plate may also be used when mounting the reader on a metal surface to reduce the negative effects of metal on the read range.

Connections

Note 1. Baud rate is configurable

Note 2.  Open collector has a 10k internal pullup to 5V

Normal Operation

Once configured, the reader will read a single block of data stored on a Mifare card and output this data in a chosen format.

The choice of which sector and block to read, which authentication KEY to use, and which output format to use, is decided by the user.  Using the MFPROG Mifare card programmer, a configuration card may be made using the parameters the user has chosen.  This card must be presented to the PREMIUM-MFS reader when it is in the factory reset state.  Presenting this card to the reader will load these settings into the reader and the reader is now configured.

The Configuration Card may be used on as many readers as required. 

Following is a full list of configurable reader options :

• Sector Number or Mifare Application ID (when card is configured for MAD

• Block Number within the sector

• Sector Key (must match Key A in the sector trailer for successful authentication)

• Output format (Wiegand, Clock&Data, RS232)

• Number of bits to read off the card

• First bit position

• Red LED flash - none, on good read, on failed read, on both

• Green LED flash - none, on good read, on failed read, on both

• Beeper sound - none, on good read, on failed read, on both

• UID output : none, on good read, on failed read, on both. (Only available In RS232 mode)

• Allow reconfiguration

• Re-configuration key

Factory Reset State

A new reader will start in the factory reset state and has the following functionality:

LEDS

The red and green LEDS will flash alternatively ON and OFF with a period of 1 second. The LEDS will not respond to any card reading.

Card in Field

The reader will poll a Mifare card in the field for its UID and if received will attempt to read ‘Configuration’ data.

If the card contains valid configuration data, the card's configuration settings will be loaded into the reader which will reset and resume operation in a configured state. 

Note that all LEDs will be off in the configured state.

Beeper

The beeper will respond with a single 500ms beep if a valid configuration card was read and the settings were accepted.

Configuration Card

Configuration cards can be programmed using the MFPROG Mifare card programmer.  A Mifare Std 1k card is used as a configuration card.  The reader uses a factory defined KEY to read the configuration card.  To prevent unauthorised re-configuring of readers in the future, the user can do one of two things : 

1.        Disallow future re-configuration of the reade

2.        Choose a new key to be used for re-configuring the reader

If you disallow future re-configuration, the reader configuration can only be set back to the factory reset state by reloading the reader firmware.
