BOOSTERS 2G 1 INTRODUCTION The Prox-Booster, Smartcard-Booster and Transition-Booster are dual ID tags enabling simultaneous identification of the inserted personal ID card and the embedded vehicle ID resulting in rapid driver and vehicle monitoring. The Prox-Booster tacho additionally sends the tacho-counter value, which relates to the travelled distance of the vehicle.

BOOSTERS 2G 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 2G 2.4 PROX-BOOSTER TACHO The prox-booster tacho is a special booster version that should be wired to the speed pulse generator of your vehicle. The exact wiring details and connection location very much depend upon the brand, type and model of your vehicle. Contact your vehicle dealer for more information about the speed pulse generator in your vehicle. Tacho input specifications: • Input voltage: 6V to 24V (max. 30V). • Polarity reversal tolerant. • Input prescaler 1:256.

BOOSTERS 2G 3 IDENTIFYING THE BOOSTER WITH A TRANSIT 3.1 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 indicates that card reading failed . The TRANSIT reader can identify your card up to a distance of 10 meters (=33 ft). After 5 seconds the Booster returns into sleep mode.

BOOSTERS 2G 3.3 READER OUTPUT TACHO INFO Tacho-Booster mode (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID + Tacho-Counter) The prox-booster tacho should be connected to the speed pulse generator of your vehicle. The prox-booster will count the number of pulses generated. The Booster cannot be identified until the driver inserts his personal identification card and pushes the Booster’s button. Once the button is pushed the Booster reads the personal identification card and beeps upon a successful read.

BOOSTERS 2G 4 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 4.2.3. 4.1 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE Every Booster used in the application should be configured with the configuration card.
PAGE 9
BOOSTERS 2G 4.2.1 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.  Smartcard-Booster  Transition Booster  Prox Booster EM4x50 not covered in this manual  MTR Module see chapter 5 4.2.2 CREATION PROCEDURE Follow the procedure below to create a configuration card with application specific settings. 1.
PAGE 10
BOOSTERS 2G 4.2.2.3 ACTIVE MODE Two activation modes are possible: Switched or Always-on. The setting can only be changed when the Booster originally was in switched mode !!! Switched mode is selected when the operating mode is Booster (only Driver-ID). Switched mode (active for approx. 5 seconds) In switched mode the booster is active for approx. 5 seconds after the booster's button is pushed and then autmatically returns into sleep mode.

BOOSTERS 2G Calypso Enable or disable the reading of Calypso cards. Data to read: For Calypso cards the 4-byte PUPI or information from always accessible files can be read. The Booster does not support the Calypso SAM to fully support the Calypso encrypted file system. Select one of the following choices:   PUPI (pseudo unique PICC identifier) Calypso file data Byte order: The byte order can be set to normal or reversed. Short File Identifier: Calypso SFI (Short File Identifier) in range from 1 ..

BOOSTERS 2G 4.2.2.5 READING MIFARE ULTRALIGHT DATA The Mifare UltraLight transponders’ 512 bit EEPROM memory is organized in 16 pages with 4 bytes each. Page Number Page number to start reading from (in range from 0 .. 15). Always 4 pages are read. The reading will wrap around to page number 0 if additional data after page 15 should be read. Data Length Number of bytes to transmit. The maximum number of bytes is dependant upon the operating-mode and frame-length settings.
PAGE 13
BOOSTERS 2G 4.2.2.6 READING MIFARE CLASSIC SECTOR DATA The Mifare Classic 1K and 4K cards are fully supported. Also other Mifare cards which are compatible (such as Mifare Plus and SmartMX) can be used. The memory is organized in sectors with blocks. Every block consists of 16 bytes. Upon configuring the smartcard-booster for reading MIFARE DESFIRE cards, the following parameters must be specified. Sector Number Sector number to read data from (in range from 0 .. 39).
PAGE 14
BOOSTERS 2G 4.2.2.7 READING MIFARE DESFIRE FILE DATA The MIFARE DESFIRE cards are fully supported. Also other newer DESFIRE EV1 cards can be used. Including the DES, 3DES, 3 Key 3DES and AES encryptions. The DESFIRE card's memory is organized using a flexible file system. This file system allows several different applications on a single card. Every application is identified by it's 3 byte application identifier (AID). Each application may contain up to 32 files.

BOOSTERS 2G 4.2.3 DEFAULT CONFIGURATION In the table below the default configuration is shown.
PAGE 16
BOOSTERS 2G 4.3 4.3.1 PROGRAM THE CONFIGURATION CARD USING A SUPPORTED PROGRAMMER The software supports a few different programming devices. The NXP Pegoda, the HID OMNIKEY 5x21 and PC/SC contactless readers from the Springcard CSB6 Family (e.g. Prox 'n' Roll PC/SC). 4.3.1.1 NXP PEGODA PROGRAMMER Connect the NXP Pegoda Mifare programmer to a USB port on your computer. USB drivers must be installed as described in the NXP documentation.
PAGE 17
BOOSTERS 2G 4.3.2 USING ANOTHER PROGRAMMER If there is no supported 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 and 2 of a Mifare Classic 1K or 4K card. The contents of these sectors is not explained, but can be shown by the configuration software by clicking ‘Show configuration details’ in the ‘Expert’ menu.
PAGE 18
BOOSTERS 2G 4.4 TESTING THE CONFIGURATION The MIFARE settings can be tested before loading it into the Smartcard-Booster using a supported mifare reader. From the ‘Programmer' menu choose ‘Test configuration’. Place the Mifare card (not the config card) on the reader and click the ‘Read’ button. The reader reads the Mifare card according to the current configuration settings. The software displays the driver-id number as it will be identified by the TRANSIT.

BOOSTERS 2G 5 MTR CONFIGURATION The MTR Module (Multi-Technology Reader) 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 4 on page 8 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.
