Scan card number (UID) Identification of the standard of the card Prefix can be entered up to 200 characters in total, including the card number. The desired data output format can be specified by the user: decimal, hexadecimal, shift, fa-
cility code, prefix, spec. insert characters, enter, etc. Individual data output settings do not require firmware replacement
Compatibility
1. CardReaderManager software is compatible with:
with ProxerX2, X3 series readers – Proxer12 (1910), Proxer13 (electronics 2110), Proxer22 (el. 2027), Proxer23 (el. 2192-es) serial data connection – USB, RS232, RS485 – types.
with Proxer7, Proxer78 (1616), ProxerW72 readers (electrics 1733) serial data connection USB, RS232, RS485 – types.
The program is therefore compatible from the top with older Procontrol readers.
2. If you also use devices from older Procontrol reader series, it is important to know that the utility offered for them, Proxer7Manager, is not compatible with ProxerX2, X3 series readers Proxer12, Proxer22 (1910, 2027), Proxer13, Proxer23 (2110, 2192):
for the older Procontrol reader series (Proxer7, ProxerW72) we offer/offered the Proxer7Manager program.
Proxer7Manager is not compatible with Proxer12, Proxer13 readers. Proxer12, Proxer13 reader firmware detects when trying to configure with Proxer7Manager

,,Communication” section
Device address: Enter the device address. This can be either the PCSW address of the device or the PCS address. By default, the PCS address is the last 2 digits of the 12-digit serial number on the sticker on the back of the device, PCSW is the last 6 digits of the serial number. If you do not know the address and we are sure that only the device you have connected is working on the given serial port, then choose the value 255. In this case, regardless of the address, the device will receive the commands. Attention! If several devices are connected to the computer via the serial port, then in the case of the value 255, all devices will receive the sent commands, which may result in loss of information, malfunctions, or failures! It is not necessary to set the other values at the user level for connection.

Sample input:
In order to see the results of the commands set in the previous point, we can record input sample values. The output value in the sample is obtained from this input sample value as a result of the commands.
Sample output:
We can visually see the output value displayed during using proximity card. We can check back whether the commands we entered give us the desired output and it is possible to make further changes.

Q & A
Q: The reader: Proxer22L-HF-W4-OEM built-in proximity card reader 13.56MHz, Wiegand, RS485, 2116-21. By default, the readers return the IDs of the NFC members read in 26 bits. The members we use have 64-bit identifiers. How can we switch the readers so that we get the full 64-bit ID from the devices? A: EEPROM parameter 541 (“Wiegand format”) must be set to “8 – Only card number 66bit”.
