To use application read key versions with your MIFARE SAM cards, configure the cards
with up to three keys using a SAM card configuration tool, then enable key versioning in the
Synergis™ Appliance Portal.
Before you begin
- Configure your SAM cards with up to three keys using a SAM production tool.
- Install the SAM cards into a Synergis™ Cloud Link equipped with
an optional expansion module. For more information, see the SY-CLOUDLINK-312 Quick
Start Guide.
What you should know
By default, Security Center does not support
SAM cards with application read key versions other than 0; enabling key versioning allows the
use of pre-encoded cards that have key versions other than 0. The feature works with OSDP and
SSCP protocols, and offers key management flexibility to administrators who want to increment
their key version periodically.
Procedure
-
Log on to the
Synergis
unit.
-
Click .
-
In the MIFARE DESFire versioning section, select the
Use key version checkbox.
When the checkbox is selected, the system asks the card which key version it is using
and try to find it on the SAM card. If the checkbox is cleared, then system always uses
the key version 0.
-
Click Save, and then restart the unit.
