OSDP readers in transparent mode require you to store the keys on your Cloud Link Roadrunner™ unit.

Before you begin

Configure the MIFARE DESFire keys on your Cloud Link Roadrunner unit.

What you should know

Card or PIN mode is not supported with OSDP readers configured in DESFire mode (transparent mode).

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Cloud Link Roadrunner unit.
  2. Click Configuration > Hardware, and then select an enrolled OSDP reader.
  3. Click Edit () for the selected reader's interface.
  4. From the Reader type list, select MIFARE DESFire.
  5. Use the Cloud Link Roadrunner™ Portal to access the Synergis™ key store and enter the keys:
    1. Select an index.
    2. Click Create new version, and enter a 32-character hexadecimal key in the text field.
    3. Click Add.
    The MIFARE DESFire configuration file used for the indexed keys is compatible with both software-transparent and non-transparent readers.
    Limitation: There are two limitations with software transparent readers:
    • Transparent readers currently cannot encode cards.
    • Cards with transparent mode enabled take about 100 ms longer to read.

After you finish

Configure MIFARE DESFire.
