Read-a-Card twin HID reader kit



Read-a-Card twin HID reader kit
Complete PC-based HID Prox, iClass and Mifare reading solution

This package is designed to help with the easy integration of HID Prox, iClass and Mifare technology into new or existing systems and allows users to quickly read the card number of Prox and iClass cards and the unique card ID of Mifare cards. Read-a-Card can then log them to file, or automatically send them to other software applications using various methods (including 'typing' the card ID, sometimes known as a 'keyboard wedge').

Using Read-a-Card, systems that currently rely on barcode scanners can be migrated easily to contactless RFID technology, and door access systems can be extended to enable card numbers to be read into different applications and databases. Read-a-Card can also be used to identify cards, test reader functionality and to manage the use of multiple readers on a single PC.

With this package you can:
  • View a contactless smartcard's unique ID and automatically insert it into text input fields
  • Insert a custom prefix and suffix when performing RFID 'keyboard wedge' functions
  • Read and display HID Prox and iClass card numbers
  • Read and display Mifare card serial numbers (CSN) in hex, decimal and reverse decimal formats
  • Read Mifare sectors and other data using custom format SAM
  • Support multiple readers with the ability to detect and log unique reader IDs
  • Automatically log card IDs to file, with time stamp and reader ID
  • De-duplicate repeated card reads
  • Automatically launch software applications and/or custom URLs on each card read
Additional developer features include:
  • Full integration with other software using Windows messaging API
  • Read-a-Card web server
  • Plug-in capabilities to add any further functionality
From version 3.0 onwards, Read-a-Card provides the ability to decode customer-specific card numbering formats stored on either Mifare or iClass cards, through the use of software plug-ins and hardware security modules (SAMs) for holding keys and other sensitive data. Using this mechanism, any licensed copy of Read-a-Card can be enhanced to be able to read a site-specific format and return the relevant card ID data to other applications using its built-in keyboard wedge, file logging or direct integration APIs, without exposing the encoding scheme security data.

Read-a-Card runs on a Windows PC and can read card ID information from various types of contactless cards and tags using any PC/SC V2.0 contactless reader plus a number of other supported devices. For a full overview of compatible cards and readers along with several screen shots click the 'more info' button below.

The package includes the Omnikey 5321 CL SAM, a 13.56 MHz contactless USB 2.0 smartcard reader with embedded Read-a-Card software license as well as the Omnikey 5325 CL Prox, a contactless USB 2.0 smartcard reader that reads the unique serial number from HID Proximity cards.
