Introduction
RF IDeas pcProx card reader eliminates the need for manual entry, providing error-free identification. pcProx is compatible with over 300 million physical access proximity cards. This reader allows users to use their building access card for other forms of identification and security throughout their workplace. This product is available either embedded in a keyboard or the standard wedge type housing. Featuring plug-n-play functionality, no required software, and embedded configurable flash memory, the reader is ready to integrate with nearly all operating systems, applications, and embedded controllers.
The USB model emulates a keyboard and keystrokes the card’s ID and/or site code to the cursor’s location on the screen. The reader can be configured to add keystrokes before and after the card’s data. The serial version, available in RS-232, Ethernet, or USB Virtual Com, delivers the card’s data in ASCII.
In addition to the standard housing (shown), readers are available in USB Dongle, PCMCIA, kiosk/wall mount, embedded keyboard, and OEM form factors. Using the optional RF IDeas Software Developer’s Kit (SDK), the pcProx family can easily be integrated with most applications.
