Using HID® Prox Card II (and equivalent) 125KHz Credentials
An NXT reader can read read HID® Prox Card II and equivalent credentials (including, but not limited to ProxCard II®, ISOProx® II, and ProxKey® II), when using NXT and NXT-MSC controllers.
However, there are some important details to be aware of when
using the various Wiegand formats:
- Manually enrolling Wiegand credentials (entering the Imprint
and Facility Code) is only possible when using 26-bit Wiegand credentials.
- Presentation enrollment is the required method for all
credentials other than 26-bit Wiegand and up to 63-bits when using standard NXT (64-bits if the high bit is zero). Only decoding and credential types are NXT-MSC specific.
- For credentials that are more than 37-bit (or if you want to
correctly decode the exact format of custom Wiegand
credentials), you would need to use the NXT Mercury-Powered (MSC) controller
type, the Credential Types feature must be enabled on your Doors.NET license and the appropriate custom format settings
will need to be defined in the Credential Types Wiegand Library.
