Protege System Controller Reference Manual

Format
Description
37 Bit The 37 bit format is different to the first format and of 1 block of 35 bits of data which
is broken in to a 20 bit card number and 15 bit site code. This is commonly used with
older HID readers.
36 Bit A standard 36 Bit format which consists of 4 8 bit blocks each with a parity bit. This is
commonly used with the Dallas one wire and Kwik Key products.
Rusco 40 Bit
ABA BIN T2
ABA Card T2
NCS 29 Bit
HID 26/34 Bit
HID 34 Bit
Auto Wiegand
Auto Magnetic
A Casi Rusco 40 Bit format used on the smart card readers produced by Casi Rusco
and WSE. The format will output a 24 bit card number and 10 bit site code.
American Banking Association Track 2 magnetic format that uses the BIN (Bank
Identification Number) stored in the first 4 digits as the card number. This format can
be used to allow entry in to Bank ATM Foyers. By putting an access level on the cards
they can also be used to prevent access at certain times and can be used to activate
the lighting in the ATM area when presented.
American Banking Association Track 2 magnetic format that uses the data encoded
on a standard 16 digit bank card. The data is hashed and then sent to the controller.
This prevents the data from being reversed to establish the card number. This format
is the same as the ABA T2 format however it strictly requires a 16 Digit Card to be
presented for the format to operate.
An older format that is used by Northern Control Systems and is a 29 Bit Format.
A dual format consisting of the standard 26 Bit and Standard 34 Bit formats.
A standard HID format consisting of a 16 digit site code and a 16 digit card number
with parity calculated on the end two bits.
Automatically selects the best available Wiegand format from the formats to decode
the card.
Automatically selects the best available Magnetic Card format from the formats to
decode the card data.
36 Bit (IEI) A standard 36 Bit Output format that is compatible with the IEI keypads, this allows
wiegand data to be received from the keypad as a card number. This format can also
be used with compatible card reading devices.
34 Bit (Pass) Decodes the Pass Point 34 Bit Cards used on the HID Card Readers in to the correct
large card number 32 bits and standard site code.
34 Bit (Pass NP) Decodes the Pass Point 34 Bit Cards used on the HID Card Readers however skips
the parity validation on the data stream to allow the Nano Prox card readers to be
retrofitted to new or existing doors that use the Pass Point cards.
Any Bit (Raw)
Any Bit format decodes ANY wiegand data stream up to 64 bits and then presents
this to the system using the multiple decoding display. The display contains encoded
data based on the raw data stream sent by the card reader. This allows ANY wiegand
reader to operate on the Protege System in a native data format. This format will
decode the data explicitly and can be used to verify wiegand data streams.
26 Bit (NP) Decodes a standard 26 bit wiegand data stream however skips the parity validation
portion of the wiegand data. This format can be used when certain card formats have
parity detection reversed or if the parity calculation deviates from the standard.
34 Bit (NP) Decodes a standard 34 bit wiegand data stream however skips the parity validation
portion of the wiegand data. This format can be used when certain card formats have
parity detection reversed or if the parity calculation deviates from the standard.
First 5 Track 2 The first 5 digits of a track 2 card will be used as the card number and a site code of 0
will be generated for the card swipe.
