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

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

  1. Log on to the Synergis Cloud Link 312 unit.
  2. Click Configuration > MIFARE DESFire.
  3. 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.
  4. Click Save, and then restart the unit.
