How to Use Custom Smart Card Layout on Suprema Device Manager App
- Suprema Device Manager: v1.1.8 or above (Android OS)
- XPass D2: v1.7.1 or above
What is Suprema Device Manager?
- This app is an application that allows you to check or change the settings of XPass 2 and XPass D2 and upgrade firmware. This application can be installed and used on users' mobile devices.
What is the Custom Smart Card, and why do you need this feature?
- Among the cases where a third-party system is integrated with BioStar 2/Suprema devices, there are cases where the Suprema device needs to read a smart card issued by a third-party system other than BioStar 2. We added the Custom Smart Card Layout function on BioStar 2 and Suprema Device Manager to support some of these cases.
- This article explains using the Suprema Device Manager app and the XPass D2 case.
- For an introduction to the Custom Smart Card Layout function of BioStar 2, please refer to the following article. (Relevant Article - How to Setup Custom Smart Card Layout)
Cases where Custom Smart Card Layout needs to be set up through Suprema Device Manager
- When XPass D2 is used as a dummy reader for a 3rd party device
- When it is difficult to change XPass D2 settings through BioStar 2
Preparations
- Suprema Device Manager app (supported on Android OS)
- XPass D2 with v1.7.1 firmware
- If the firmware of your device is not v1.7.1, you can also upgrade the firmware through the Suprema Device Manager app (However, you must save the firmware on your mobile device).
