1 INTRODUCTION

The Prox-Booster, Smartcard-Booster and Transition-Booster are active dual ID tags enabling

simultaneous identification of the inserted personal ID card and the embedded vehicle ID resulting in

rapid driver and vehicle monitoring.

A Proximity or Smartcard can be placed in the Booster unit. Additionally a separate ID (representing

vehicle ID) is programmed in the Booster’s hardware. Once configured, the Booster allows a driver ID

badge and embedded vehicle ID to be read from a distance up to 10 meters (33 feet) in combination with

NEDAP TRANSIT readers. This solution substantially enhances the level of security when controlling

activities of vehicles that are regularly used by different drivers. Additionally a fully integrated vehicle and

personnel access solution can be implemented.

For more details about the NEDAP TRANSIT reader refer to the TRANSIT installation guide.

The combined vehicle and driver ID is a unique NEDAP patented feature. Optionally the vehicle-ID can

be sacrificed if more information from the personal ID card is required.

The following personal ID card types are identified with the Boosters.

•Prox-Booster NEDAP, EM and HID PROX

•Smartcard-Booster MIFARE, HID iCLASS, ISO14443A and ISO15693

•Transition-Booster all of the above

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and to RSS210 of Industry Canada.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

2 INSTALLATION

2.1 DIMENSIONS

The Boosters are easily mounted to the inside of the car’s windshield by means of suction cups. Users

should ensure the visual contact between the Booster and any TRANSIT reader is unobstructed with

items such as stickers or metallized windshields (see also chapter 2.3 about solar control windshields).

Note that the Booster's suction cups must be faced toward the reader to achieve maximum reading

distance.

2.2 TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS

The Booster is designed to operate within the extreme temperature ranges, which often occur behind a

vehicle’s windshield during the winter or summer seasons (-20°C to 85°C / -4°F to +185°F). However the

personal identification card inserted in the Booster may not be designed to withstand such temperatures

and could suffer damage as a result.

Nedap advises to remove the personal identification card when not in use.

CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE CARD IN ACCESS DEVICE WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE, AS THIS

PRESENTS A SECURITY RISK.

CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE CARD IN ACCESS DEVICE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME IN EXTREME

HEAT, AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE CARD.

2.3 SOLAR CONTROL WINDSHIELDS

From 1997 onwards several car manufacturers introduced vehicles with solar control windshields. The

solar control windshields are equipped with a metalized coating, which can block the TRANSIT signal

from the Booster mounted on the inside of the windshield of the vehicle.

Most of these windshields have a metal free zone where transponders can be mounted. The metal free

zone of metalized windshields is most often found in the middle of the windshield behind and slightly

below the rear view mirror. In vehicles manufactured after 1998 the metal free zone should be indicated

on the window.

We advise the owner to contact the local car dealer if it is not clear where the aperture is exactly

positioned in a certain vehicle and where the transponder should be mounted.

BOOSTERS

3 SMARTCARD CONFIGURATION

The Smartcard-Booster and the Transition-Booster can be configured by means of a configuration card.

This configuration card is a Mifare Classic 1K or 4K card that is programmed with the configuration

settings.

Configuration is only required if the factory default settings are not sufficient. The default settings are

described in chapter 3.2.3.

3.1 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE

Every Booster used in the application should be configured with the configuration card. The simple

configuration procedure is described below.

Insert the configuration card in the Booster and push the button. The Booster sounds the buzzer with an

increasing frequency (♪♪♪) to indicate that the configuration settings have been accepted.n

3.2 HOW TO CREATE A CONFIGURATION CARD

NEDAP has developed a software application that allows system integrators to create configuration

cards. This software can be downloaded from our website www.nedapavi.com.

Smartcard-Booster Config software

nSee chapter 6 for details about the buzzer indications.

BOOSTERS

3.2.1 TARGET DEVICE

The Booster Configuration software can be used to configure a number of different devices. The user-

interface is adapted to the selected target device. Select in the ‘Target’ menu which device you are about

to configure.

Prox Booster EM4x50 not explained in this manual

Multi-Technology Reader Module see chapter 4

3.2.2 CREATION PROCEDURE

Follow the procedure below to create a configuration card with application specific settings.

1. Specify OPERATING MODE (see chapter 3.2.2.1)

2. Specify FRAME LENGTH (see chapter 3.2.2.2)

3. Specify HIGH FREQUENCY settings (see chapter 3.2.2.3)

4. Specify LOW FREQUECY settings (only for Transition-Booster) (see chapter 3.2.2.6)

5. Save the configuration settings into a file.

6. Write the configuration into a blank Mifare Classic 1K or 4K card.

3.2.2.1 OPERATING MODE

Booster (only Driver-ID)

Up to 16 bytes of data from the personal identification card is read. The Vehicle-ID is omitted.

Combi-Booster (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID)

Vehicle-ID combined with up to 11 bytes from the personal identification card is read.

Tacho-Booster (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID + Tacho-Counter)

Vehicle-ID and Driver-ID combined with Tacho-Counter value. If this option is selected than

automatically extended-length is selected.

3.2.2.2 FRAME LENGTH

This affects the length of the message sent from Booster to TRANSIT reader.

Extended length (longer Driver-ID)

Select extended-length in order to support all transponder types and maximum amount of data.

The extended-length may be not compatible with older firmware versions in the TRANSIT reader.

You might need to upload new firmware into the reader.

The identification speed is a bit slower compared to applying standard-length.

Standard length (backwards compatible, faster identification)

Select standard-length in applications where the Boosters must be compatible with older types of

transponders or where fast identification is important.

Please note that when reading low-frequency cards with a Transition-Booster this setting is not used.

For NEDAP and EM cards the extended-length is not required and therefore the Booster will

automatically use standard-length (even if extended-length is selected in the configuration).

For HID PROX the extended-length is required so extended-length is used automatically if such a card is

identified (even if standard-length is selected in the configuration).
