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.

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).
