freq

 

The  TCM4  can  scan  all  types  of  cards  or  be  restricted  to  one  or 
several types of card technologies. The values of this parameter can 
be  summed  (mask)  to  scan  several  types  of  cards.  The  following 
values are configured in hex format. 
Possible values are (minimum 4 digits entry): 
0000: Lock first (card type of the first card detected by TCM4 after 
power up will be applied as filter) 
0001: ISO 14443 13.56Mhz (Mifare) type A 
0002: ISO 14443 13.56Mhz (Mifare) type B 
0004: ISO 15693 ICODE 13.56Mhz 
0100: iCLASS 13.56Mhz 
0400: IZLY complete format 13.56Mhz (requires a TCM4-Izly) 
0800: FELICA 13.56Mhz 
1000: IZLY short format 13.56MHz (requires a TCM4-Izly) 
10000: IZLY long format 13.56MHz (requires a TCM4-Izly) 
40000: NFC for Smartphone with CartadisID application 
0010: EM (Electronic Marin) 125Khz 
0020: HID Prox 125Khz 
0040: HITAG 125Khz 
2000: Indala 125Khz 
8000: StartProx 
FFFF FFFF : All card types 

0000: Lock first 

nobuzz

 

Disable/Enable buzzer. 
0: Buzzer is enabled (beeps at each card detection) 
1: Buzzer disabled 

0: Buzzer enabled 

 

UID reading mode parameters

 

 

niboffset

 

Skip niboffset digits in the IUD card. This parameter allows to reduce 
the size of an UID when all the cards have the same prefix 

niblen

 

When the size of IUD is greater than the 

“niblen”,

 it is truncated and 

only the 

“niblen”

 digits from the right of the UID are kept 

64 

swap

 

Swap MSB/LSB of UID. 
0: No swap 
1: Swap MSB/LSB 

0: Disabled 

uidindec 

 
 
 
 
 

 

Converts the hex UID card in decimal format. 
0: Disabled 
1: Converts the UID card in decimal 

 
 

 

0: Disabled
