4. PROTECTED MODE
In the Protected Mode, the reader reliably protects the ACS from unauthorised access. To
initialise the Protected Mode, an IronLogic Object card containing a special key is required. This
key is stored
onto blank
access cards using a Z-2 USB MF desktop reader with specific custom
firmware. To store the special key to a Matrix
II MF-I reader, touch it with an IronLogic Object
card. Once this is done, the Matrix
II MF-I will transmit to the controller only UIDs (serial
numbers) of initialised cards. This reader supports simultaneous holding of up to 10 IronLogic
Object cards.
The first IronLogic Object card stored into Matrix
II MF-I becomes the Master card. That card
allows storing
other IronLogic Object cards and switching off the Protected Mode. Without this
Master card, the reader cannot be reverted to Unprotected (Initial) mode.
4.1 Switching Between Protected and Unprotected Mode
From the factory, the reader arrives in Unprotected mode, transmitting to the controller the UIDs
of all cards it could read.
4.1.1 Entering Protected Mode
1) On an unpowered reader, connect DATA0 and LED R terminals.
2) Power on the reader.
3) If the LED is blinking red and asignal is sounding, the reader is already in Protected Mode.
4) If the LED is shining solid red, touch the reader with the IronLogic Object card. The reader
changes LED colour to green and issues a beep for 1 second. The Object card has now been
stored into reader
as a Master card.
5) Power off the reader.
4.1.2 Storing Object Cards (Up to 10)
1) Ensure that the reader is powered on and operational.
2) Touch it with the Master card; the LED starts blinking red. Keep touching the reader with
additional Object Cards, leaving no more than 16 s in between the cards. Each new card is
acknowledged with a green LED flash.
3) To leave Storing Object Cards mode, either wait 16 s, or touch the reader again with the
Master card.
4.1.3 Leaving Protected Mode
1) On an unpowered reader, connect DATA1 and LED R terminals.
2) Power on the reader.
3) If the LED is blinking red and a signal is sounding, the reader is already in Unprotected
mode.
4) If the LED is shining solid red, touch the reader with the Master IronLogic Object card. The
reader changes LED colour to green and issues a beep for 1 second. All the Object cards
stored into the reader will be erased, and Unprotected mode will be activated.
5) Power off the reader.
