Issue
For various reasons it may sometimes be desirable to have the system display the raw bitstream of a card. Here is the configuration needed to accomplish it.
Product Line
Security Expert
Environment
- Security Expert Controller
- Security Expert Server
Cause
Guidance is needed on how to make a Security Expert system display the actual raw bitstream of a Wiegand card.
Resolution
- Configure the reader's format for Custom Credential
- Make sure the card presented at the reader will not result in valid access granted transaction, e.g. by temporarily removing that user's access to the door.
As seen in the image below, the system will display the format of the card (i.e. 37-Bit), followed by the actual Raw bitstream, for all invalid access transactions.
If the system is able to decode the card, it also appends the decoded info in parentheses right after the raw bitstream, which can also be very useful.
