Product Brochure (color)

The converters have two inputs and two outputs. One of the inputs supports either track 1 magstripe, track 2 magstripe, or standard wiegand. The other input supports either rs232 serial (model 716) or USB (model 718) . Each input is programmed separately and operates independently of the other.

The converters support full masking and reorganization of data from both input ports. It can change the organization of wiegand bit streams, insert or override site codes, id numbers, issue codes, and constants. Both MSB modes and LSB modes are supported. Additionally, characters, numbers, or bits can be deleted, inserted, or extracted from any received data prior to transmission. Parity checking can also be enabled for the purpose of reading standard legacy wiegand cards in both directions.

In addition to the conversions which are available, the 716 and 718 can also dump received data through the serial port, bit by bit. This is a useful function for debugging or identifying the bit streams from proximity and magstripe cards. 

Serial-to-serial masking, and preprocessing functions, to support Amtech toll tags, are also standard features.

Models 716R and 718R contain an internal relay, as well as an input for wiegand/proximity, and magstripe readers. Conversions from serial to another format are not supported on the 716R or 718R, however, wiegand to serial and magstripe to serial conversions are supported. The models 716R and 718R can be used by themselves to serially operate a relay, or used with a wiegand, proximity, or magstripe reader as a full door control installation.
