Wireless Identification Overview

pcProx® Activated Identification

Employers are more security conscious than ever. More buildings, machines, systems, and

applications require identification information to gain access. RF IDeas devices allow the building

access cards to be used as a digital identifier throughout the workplace.

Various pcProx applications include:

• Card Enrollment

• Application log-on

• Form filler to existing software applications

• PC/LAN Log On

• Cafeteria Purchases/Vending

• Machine Access

• PLC and embedded controllers

• Time/Attendance

Our pcProx Plus devices are easily configured to increase security and reliability. Companies using

proximity and/or contactless technology for building access immediately benefit, as their employee

identification cards can also be used with the proximity/contactless device for additional

authentication applications. Thus, the majority of deployment and enrollment costs are quickly

recovered.

The diagram on the following page is a high level overview of how the reader works. The reader

sends RF signals to the card and the card sends signals back to send data. The card data is output by

the reader in keystrokes or ASCII characters. This card data can be configured to include delimiters

to separate the data. This reader can be used as a standalone system or seamlessly integrated with

other software applications using the optional Software Developer’s Kit (SDK).

Credential Form Factors

Credentials are inactive electronic devices that rely on readers to supply the required power for

start-up and communication. The credential itself, consists of antennas that produce proximity or

contactless frequencies. Proximity and contactless smart card technology cards allow users to

effortlessly manage multiple applications through a single credential.

Data: The data on access cards are a string of binary numbers set with a fixed configuration and

length.

Frequencies: RF IDeas’ access control readers and credentials utilize the low-frequency 125 kHz

(proximity) band and/or the high-frequency 13.56 MHz (contactless) band.

Credential Form Factors: With over 300 million physical access credentials in use worldwide, there

are a variety of low and high frequency form factors customers can choose from to meet their

particular needs.

The below illustrates some of the various form factors available.

CSN: Also known as the Card Serial Number, is part of the ISO 15693 standard for vicinity cards

operating at the 13.56 MHz frequency.

UID: The User ID or User Identification, can be encoded as data on the card when a security key is

needed.

Manufacturer/Vendor Card Compatibility

Please go to www.RFIDeas.com for specific device part numbers associated to card types.

Reader Configuration Purposes

The method of encoding data on a card and transmitting data to the reader differs accordingly to

each technology involved. The reader itself is not aware of the makeup of the card data format or

access privileges for the cardholder. This information is only accessible through the configuration

process of the reader utilizing the supplied software.

The reader is very flexible and may need to be configured in order to present an exact desired output

for the user, such as, singling out FAC or ID, obtaining a desired base (i.e. decimal, lowercase, upper-

case, hexadecimal).

Differences Between pcProx Plus Reader Non-Plus Reader

The pcProx Plus is a dual frequency programmable reader that combines 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz

technologies into the same reader. It’s the only reader in the industry that reads two cards of your

choice among 35 card types, delivering flexibility to any customer struggling with different card

technologies.

In contrast to the pcProx Plus reader, our standard pcProx Enroll proximity and contactless readers

function on a single frequency band, which is either 125 kHz proximity or 13.56 MHz contactless.

What’s In Your Part Number?

All RF IDeas reader part numbers follow a distinct system of categorization to allow for an ease of

high-frequency 13.56 MHz (contactless).

Card Type: The card type allows for the selection of over 35 different card types for reader

compatibility (Please visit www.RFIDeas.com, choose a product and locate the Part Numbers tab for

specific device part numbers associated to card types).

Housing: This option provides the user to select the form factor housing for the desired reader. The

housings include; desktop, wall mount, USB dongle, PCMCIA, bare board, ExpressCard, or custom.

(For more on form factors, please visit www.RFIDeas.com)

Model: The model selection corresponds to the type of reader, whether it is a standard, writer

(13.56 MHz contactless only), playback (13.56 MHz contactless only), SDK, or analyzer.

Version: The version refers to the selection of either our standard or custom build.

Housing Color: The color category simply allows for the selection of either our black or pearl
