Reader Port 2 Reading Format
The reading format is used to inform the reader expander what type of card readers are connected to the reader
port one. The reader expander supports nearly all publicly available protocols and some special protocols. Any
26 or 37 bit card reader that conforms to the standard format specification will work on the PRT-RDI2 Reader
Expander.

Reader Port 2 Secondary Reading Format
The secondary reading format is used to program an alternate format for the reader expander and has the same
options as the standard reader selection. The secondary format will only be used if the first format can not
decode the card information that is received by the reader interface.

Reader Port 2 Reader Type
The reader type informs the reader expander which location of the door the reader is installed that is connected
to the reader expander port two. The reader expander uses this information to pass the correct direction of
travel to the door control functions. For an access door this should be set to ENTRY reader.
When using the reader with a door that controls an inside or outside area or is used for card or key global
anti-passback the ENTRY and EXIT configuration must be set correctly.

access doors (single reader)
The reader is located on the inside of the door and is used to exit out of the area that is
being protected by the door.
If the reader expander is configured for multiplex reader mode the multiplexed reader is
ALWAYS the EXIT reader.
