To read Prox credentials, the OmnikeyReadersConfiguration.gconfig file must contain specific lines of code.

The configuration file must contain the following lines of code:
Code 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Readers>
  <Reader ModelFamily="[Reader name from HID OMNIKEY Workbench]">
    <SupportedCards>
      <Card Type="Prox" Bits="26"/>
    </SupportedCards>
  </Reader>
</Readers>

The number of bits depends on the card used.

To read Prox credential with multiple bit lengths, for example, 26 and 48 bits, the configuration file must contain the following lines of code:
Code 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Readers>
  <Reader ModelFamily="[Reader name from HID OMNIKEY Workbench]">
    <SupportedCards>
      <Card Type="Prox" Bits="48"/>
      <Card Type="Prox" Bits="26"/>
    </SupportedCards>
  </Reader>
</Readers>
