TDSi Announces New MIFARE Programmer Tool

• Use pre-assigned sequential numbers - The MIFARE Programmer provides an effective method of card programming which eliminates potential duplication problems,
• Read and identify existing cards - users can identify existing cards and sector usage before migrating existing system cards,
• Log all cards issued - The MIFARE Programmer provides a history of cards which have been issued (for future reference),
• Multiple card number options - The user can utilize a unique number, custom number or CSN to program a sector, providing increased flexibility,
• Dual decode options - The MIFARE Programmer allows users to decode the new 7 byte UID using TDSi's format or NXP's format, for increased flexibility,
• Check which sectors are used - This built-in function allows users to check which sectors have already been used. This is ideal if you want to migrate existing MIFARE CSN cards that may be utilised for other aspects (such as cashless vending) to a more secure sector operation.

TDSi's John Davies comments on the MIFARE Programmer, "For companies that need the highest levels of protection; the ability to protect your security codes across the board is a very attractive proposition. Being able to programme your own MIFARE cards and readers means you can close a potential gap in security that comes from pre-programmed systems. We believe this is a unique solution that offers real peace of mind. It has been developed from feedback we have had from installers and users, who advised that it would be highly desirable choice for both security and convenience."
