5. Set Even Parity, Odd Parity, User ID bits by clicking the blocks. (Facility cod bits are not editable as they are undefined. Mark [E] at the starting bit and mark [O] at the ending bit.)

[Figure 9 Wiegand Format Configuration - 5]

6. Set even parity according to the settings then click »> button to set odd parity.

7. Select Wiegand Mode and choose between Wiegand Input and Wiegand Output.

Wiegand Input:

• Wiegand (Card): BioStar receives ID data from Wiegand signal and interprets it as Card ID.
• Wiegand (User): BioStar receives ID data from Wiegand signal and interprets it as User ID.

Wiegand Output:

• Wiegand (Card): BioStar transmits Card ID as Wiegand signal when authentication successes.
• Wiegand (User): BioStar transmits User ID as Wiegand signal when authentication successes.

Frequently Asked Questions

(Q) Can we connect HID iClass / HID / Mifare Reader?
(A) Yes, but you must know the Wiegand format of the card or RF reader. Also, we do not support settings for the facility code and supports up to total bit of 64bit and ID bit of 32bit.

(Q) I would like to control doors using Suprema device and RF reader. I have placed card on the RF reader but door won’t unlock.
(A) Please check the following:
- Check the Wiegand wiring (Ground – Data 0 – Data 1) and Wiegand format.
- Check the Wiegand mode. Wiegand mode should be Wiegand Input (Card) for this case.
- Check if the door relay activates when authenticates from Suprema device.
- Check if the user information is saved in Suprema device.
- Go to Monitoring > Realtime Monitoring.

• When “[1:1 Identify/Verify Fail]” log appears: This log appears when the user information is not saved in the Suprema device or there is difference in Wiegand format. Please check the Wiegand format and send all users to Suprema device again.
  
• When no log appears: When there are no logs in the Realtime Monitoring even you placed your card on the RF reader, this means that no Wiegand signals has been transmitted to Suprema device. Please check the Wiegand wiring and Wiegand mode again.

Data Format (numeric content)

• Almost all card data formats are the standard 26 bit format. However, when you need to customize the card data format, you have to configure it correctly to send / receive signals.
• Mifare Card 34 bit format of appendix (1) is helpful. (Appendix 1. Wiegand 34bit Mifare Card Format Setting Example) Most of the Mifare readers are using this format.
• Wiegand format template of appendix (2) is helpful in summarizing the formats of RF reader. (Appendix 2. Wiegand Format Template)

Appendix 1. Wiegand 34bit Mifare Card Format Setting Example

1. Customize Wiegand format accordingly.

[Figure 12 Mifare Card Format Layout]

2. Most of the Mifare Reader reads card ID byte order in LSB. You can change the byte order to MSB or LSB from below card ID format setting.
