IIntroductionPart
IntroductionVersion 3.0.4 - 2 IntroductionThe Inepro USB (Universal Serial Bus) card reader consists of aUSB interface controller board with a proximity card reader. Thecontroller board is programmed with software to read out the UID(Unique ID) of the proximity card. By default the card reader readsout the CSN (Card Serial Number) of the proximity card.Please note that the firmware version programmed in the controllerboard is depending on the proximity card technology and, ifneeded, customized read out of the UID of the user card.When a user card is presented to the reader the host devicereceives the data as a keyboard input in hex format.The Inepro USB Card Reader has an unique vendor and aapplication ID. The vendor ID of Inepro = 0x1DA6, the applicationor product ID = 0x0110. For each Inepro USB Card Reader thesame vendor/application ID is used (regardless of the used IneproUSB card reader). At the connection procedure the softwareversion of the Inepro USB Card Reader is send to the host device. Supported Proximity Card Technologies USB CommunicationThe Inepro USB card readers supports the USB 2.0 protocol as aHuman Interface Device (HID)

IIIOperationPart
OperationVersion 3.0.4 - 8 Operation Connect the readerConnect the reader to a free USB port. Inner operation of the Inepro USB readerThe card number that is read by the Inepro USB Card Reader is ahex decimal format. This hex decimal number is divided into twoand after that the keyboard representation code of the numbershall be send by the USB interface controller. After the lastcharacter an <enter> keystroke code is send.The software driver that runs in the host will convert the code to theASCII character of the keystroke code.When the card is removed, only a single <enter> keystroke code issend.For example:·Read value: 0x12345678 (hex decimal number)·Send keystroke data:<0x1E><0x1F><0x20><0x21><0x22><0x23><0x24><0x25><0x58>·Conversion to ASCII characters by the HID host driver:<1><2><3><4><5><6><7><8><enter>
IVInepro Card Reader ToolsPart
Inepro Card Reader ToolsVersion 3.0.4 - 10 Inepro Card Reader Tools There are two Inepro Card Reader Tools; the Inepro ReaderSoftware and Inepro Reader Update. The Inepro Reader Softwareis used to read out a card and view the card details like the cardID and sector information. It can also be used to see if otheroutput formats will return the desired card ID and to create andstore custom configuration files. The Inepro Reader Update Tool isused to update to Inepro reader with new firmware or another ornew configuration file.Inepro Reader Update ToolWith this tool it is possible to upgrade the reader firmware and toprogram a custom created config file. For more informationregarding this Reader Program Tool please consult the usermanual.
11 - USB Card Reader (Desktop & MFP)Inepro Reader Software ToolWith this software card information can be read out, and customconfiguration files can be stored. HID or HID?When working with card reader the term 'HID' will emerge, so whatdoes it mean?Well, the complex issue with this question is, that there are twoconcepts that both are called 'HID' and both are related to the cardreader. Therefore both will be explained: HIDHughes Identification Devices, or HID is often a reference to one ormore card technologies developed by the Hughes IdentificationDevices company, like HID Prox or iClass SE. HIDA Human Interface Device, or HID is a type of computer device thatinteracts directly with humans. In this manual the card reader issuch a HID
Inepro Card Reader ToolsVersion 3.0.4 - 12 Change the Configuration of the readerBy default the card reader is programmed as full output and willrecognize all available card types. This can be changed bychanging the configuration of the reader, for example by changingto Classic output. A default classic output configuration file can befound in the config files folder. To change the configuration followthe following instructions:
Change the Configuration of the reader13 - USB Card Reader (Desktop & MFP) Prequisites:§No prequisites required1. Open the shortcut to the Inepro Reader Update tool.On the bottom of the tool the status of the reader is shown (inthis image: 'Inepro reader detected: multiiso 31.0.977 (confighidraw)'). Normally when no reader is connected this will be:'Inepro Reader Removed'.'Inepro reader detected: multiiso 31.0.977 (config hidraw)'means that an Inepro reader has been detected by thesoftware and that that reader is a Multi ISO reader that has the'HID raw' config file loaded.2. Connect the USB connector to a free USB port on your PCShortly after that, the status 'Inepro reader removed', shouldchange to 'Inepro reader detected' and will show the type of thereader and which firmware and config file is loaded on thereader.
Inepro Card Reader ToolsVersion 3.0.4 - 143. Select the required config file by clicking the search button in theconfig block:4. A browse window is now opened, select the classic outputconfiguration in the config files folder:After selecting the correct file, the file name is now shown inthe config block, but the button to program the config is stillgreyed out and cannot be selected.This is because the reader is in 'normal mode' and not in'program mode'.5. To set the reader in program mode click on “Switch to programmode” in the Reader mode block.6. To verify that the reader is in program mode the 3 led’s on frontof the reader will blink continuously.
Change the Configuration of the reader15 - USB Card Reader (Desktop & MFP)7. Now click “Program Config” to actually upload the selectedconfig to the reader.Shortly the Status will show; “Programming” but it will only takea few seconds, once finished the Status bar is completelygreen.8. Now switch back the reader to normal mode by pressing thebutton “Switch to normal mode” in the reader mode Block.The reader will beep twice and after a few seconds only theright LED will light up.9. Close the Inepro USB reader tool and remove the USBconnector from your PC.10.To see now what has been changed, please follow the steps ofthe chapter: “Default Card read out”.As you will see the output is now changed.It now only shows the Hexadecimal card ID and will only return<Enter> when removing the Card
Inepro Card Reader ToolsVersion 3.0.4 - 16 Inepro Reader SoftwareWith the Inepro Reader software it is possible to read out the RFIDtechnology of the card as well as all the RAW details. These detailscan be stored, typically to export to third party software/databases.The Inepro Reader software is using 'HID Raw' as communicationwith the reader. The type of communication is set in theconfiguration, the default configuration uses HID. So to let the cardreader communicate with the Inepro Reader software the readermust be programmed with a configuration containing 'HID Raw'communication.To change the configuration please see the chapter: “Change theconfiguration of the reader”. Change the configuration using theFollowing config file: “IneproReaderSoftware.readerconfig”.The following settings can be adjusted and afterwards stored in aconfiguration file which can be programmed in to the reader:FieldValueDescriptionDefaultOutput format§ClassicOutput§Full Output§Only ID of the card§Type ID, decimal and hexadecimal IDFullOutputByte order§Default§Reversed§Standard conversion from Decimal toHexadecimal§Paired reversed conversion fromDecimal to Hexadecimal ('ABCDEF' ->'EFCDAB')DefaultOutput Length§Automatic§4 char.§5 char.§6 char.§7 char.§8 char.§9 char.§10 char.§11 char.§12 char.§13 char.§14 char.§15 char.§16 char.§Removeleadingzero’s§The actual length of the ID§Up to 4 characters with leading zero's§Up to 5 characters with leading zero's§Up to 6 characters with leading zero's§Up to 7 characters with leading zero's§Up to 8 characters with leading zero's§Up to 9 characters with leading zero's§Up to 10 characters with leading zero's§Up to 11 characters with leading zero's§Up to 12 characters with leading zero's§Up to 13 characters with leading zero's§Up to 14 characters with leading zero's§Up to 15 characters with leading zero's§Up to 16 characters with leading zero's§Remove leading zero’sAutomatic
