BOOSTERS 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.
BOOSTERS 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.
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.
BOOSTERS 3.2.1 TARGET DEVICE The Booster Configuration software can be used to configure a number of different devices. The userinterface is adapted to the selected target device. Select in the ‘Target’ menu which device you are about to configure. Smartcard Booster ; 3.2.2 Transition Booster Prox Booster EM4x50 not explained in this manual Multi-Technology Reader Module see chapter 4 CREATION PROCEDURE Follow the procedure below to create a configuration card with application specific settings.
BOOSTERS 3.2.2.3 HIGH FREQUENCY Enable HID iCLASS CSN Enable or disable the reading of HID iCLASS transponders. Only the card serial number can be read from these transponders. Enable ISO14443-A / MIFARE Enable or disable the reading of ISO14443-A / Mifare transponders. Data to read from ISO14443-A / MIFARE For ISO14443-A cards only the card serial number can be read. The cascaded card serial number (e.g. used in Mifare UltraLight cards) is also supported.
BOOSTERS 3.2.2.5 READING MIFARE CLASSIC DATA The Mifare Classic 1K and 4K cards are fully supported. Also other Mifare transponders which are compatible (such as Mifare DESfire and SmartMX) can be used. The memory is organized in sectors with blocks. Every block consists of 16 bytes. Only data from one block can be read. Sector Number Sector number to read data from (in range from 0 .. 39). Block Number Block number to read data from. The block number must be in range from 0 ..
BOOSTERS 3.2.3 DEFAULT CONFIGURATION In the table below the factory default configuration is shown.
BOOSTERS 3.3 PROGRAM THE CONFIGURATION CARD 3.3.1 USING THE PHILIPS PEGODA PROGRAMMER 3.3.1.1 REQUIREMENTS This requires a Philips Pegoda Mifare programmer to be connected to a USB port on your computer. In the ‘Pegoda’ menu of the configuration software click ‘Connect’ to connect to the programmer. Once the connection has been established and all configuration settings are entered, place an empty Mifare Classic 1K or 4K transponder card on the Pegoda unit. 3.3.1.
BOOSTERS 3.3.2 USING ANOTHER MIFARE PROGRAMMER If there is no Philips Pegoda Mifare programmer available you can use any other Mifare programmer to write the configuration into a Mifare classic card. The configuration data should be written into sector 1 of a Mifare Classic 1K or 4K card. The content of the configuration sector 1 is not explained, but can be shown by the configuration software by clicking ‘Show configuration details’ in the ‘Expert’ menu.
BOOSTERS 3.4 TESTING THE CONFIGURATION The ISO14443-A / Mifare settings can be tested before loading it into the Smartcard-Booster or Transition-Booster by using the Philips Pegoda reader. From the ‘Pegoda’ menu choose ‘Test configuration (only ISO14443A)’. Place the Mifare transponder on the Philips Pegoda reader and click the ‘Read’ button. This transponder would normally be read by the Booster.
BOOSTERS 4 MTR CONFIGURATION The Multi-Technology Reader Module (MTR) is especially designed to read low-frequency proximity cards and ISO compliant smartcards directly on the TRANSIT Entry reader at short range (without Booster). The MTR is configured in exactly the same way as the Smartcard Booster. Refer to chapter 3 on page 5 for more information about the configuration procedure. For more details about the TRANSIT Entry reader and the MTR refer to the separate documentation. © Nedap IDEAS, P.O.
BOOSTERS 5 IDENTIFYING THE BOOSTER WITH A TRANSIT 5.1 HOW TO USE THE BOOSTER Place the Booster on the inside of the windscreen of your vehicle as described in chapter 2. The driver inserts his personal identification card and activates the Booster’s button. A beep should indicate that the card was successfully read. A low beep may indicate that reading failed. n The TRANSIT reader can identify your card up to a distance of 10 meters (=33 ft). After 5 seconds the Booster returns into standby mode.
BOOSTERS 6 BUZZER INDICATIONS The Booster's built-in buzzer gives audible feedback upon various conditions. The table below describes the buzzer indications.
