6.3.7 Wiegand Card Format

Wiegand card format is the card format that can be identified by Wiegand reader. The software is embedded with 9 Wiegand card formats. You can set the Wiegand card format.

Add a Wiegand card format:

Click [Access Control] - [Door Configuration] - [Wiegand Card Format] - [Add], then the Wiegand card format setting window is displayed.

Take Wiegand 37 as an example to explain, as shown in figure below

The software provides two modes for you to add Wiegand format. If Mode One does not deserve your requirement, please use Mode Two to add Wiegand format command.

Instructions for format of command

“p” means the start bit of Odd/ Even parity, “s” means the Site Code, “c” means Cardholder ID, “f” means Facility Code, “m” means Manufactory Code, “e” means Even parity, “o” means Odd parity. The check bits should be “b” when odd and event parity are both verified, and the check bits should be “x” if neither the odd parity nor the event parity is verified.

Just as the above example of Wiegand 37, the first parity check (p) is used to verify “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”, the second parity check(p) is used to verify “ooooooooooooooooooo”. Card check format must be p, x, m, f, c, or s, parity check must be x, b, o, or e.
