Screen Layout of Wiegand

 

 

Wiegand Format is a string of predefined bits. In simpler terms, it is the arrangement of binary card data and is required to analyze the data received from the input, and before sending, the data will be put into a predefined format. Wiegand strings consist of even parity, odd parity, facility code, and ID codes. Invixium Devices support the following Wiegand formats:

  1. 26-bit standard format

    The Standard 26-bit Format is an open format. It is widely used by various industries and is available from many sources. Almost all access control systems accept the Standard 26-bit Format.

  2. Pass-Thru Wiegand

    This format is customized as compared to the 26-bit standard format. This Wiegand Format string does not contain any Parity bits and Facility code bits, the format string of this Wiegand type will only contain ID codes.

  3. Custom Wiegand

    In custom Wiegand Format, all parts of the Wiegand string are customizable. This type of Wiegand Format contains Parity bits and ID code bits in the Wiegand Format string. The maximum length of a custom Wiegand Format is 512 bits. Custom Wiegand Format gives complete freedom to the admin to create a Wiegand Format. Admin can specify any number of user fields, can have any number of ID bits, and can have a maximum of four even parity and four odd parity bits.

Field Description of IXM Mobile

IXM Mobile Admin

Information

This feature is exclusively for IXM VERTU devices.

To secure sites from unauthorized access, transferring the Digital Signature / Key to IXM VERTU devices is very important. But since IXM WEB cannot communicate directly with VERTU devices, the Digital Signature / Key needs to be transferred manually by an Employee who is authorized to do so. Once logged in to the IXM Mobile app, this Employee can follow the instructions to transfer the Digital Signature / Key and secure the site.

Employee:

Select Employee(s) authorized to transfer the Key from the dropdown list. Remove a particular Employee from the list by clicking on x icon of that Employee.

 

NOTE Only those Employees will be displayed in the dropdown list who have access to IXM Mobile app. Refer the image below:
 

 

Once selected, click on Save button to save the settings.

Digital Card Configuration

Configure Digital Card settings by providing the following information. This information is used while entering details of Digital Cards from Home >> Employee >> Biometric Data Enrollment >> Digital Card section.

Format:

Select the Digital Card Format from the dropdown list.

 

A list of Wiegand Formats defined from General Settings >> Wiegand section will be displayed. Select the Wiegand Format in which the details of the Digital Card will be formatted and sent to the IXM Mobile app.

 

NOTE It is mandatory to send selected Card Format to Device(s) from General Settings >> Wiegand section.

 

Digital Card:

Denotes the method used to generate Digital Card Number.

 

Select the method from the dropdown list. The following three methods can be used to generate Card Number:

  • None

    Digital Card Number can be entered manually.

  • Employee ID

    The Employee ID will be considered as the Digital Card Number.

    For example: The Card Number of an Employee with ID 1025 will also be 1025. But if the Employee ID is having an alphanumeric value, then the Card Number will be blank.

  • Start with

    The Digital Card Number will start with a particular sequence number.

    For example: If 1001 is entered, the Card Number will start with 1001. The next number generated will be 1002 and so on.

Start With:

Information

This option will be displayed only if Digital Card is selected as "Start With".

 

Enter the starting number of the Digital Card.

 

Allow Offline Transactions

Click on the checkbox to enable or disable the feature. A tick mark in the box indicates the feature is enabled. This feature specifies whether the Digital Card transactions can be done offline or online.

 

Enabling this feature allows the users to authenticate the Digital Card even if the mobile device is offline. While configuring a Digital Card for the first time, the mobile device should be online so that the IXM Mobile app communicates with the server to read the card details and save them on the mobile device. For the subsequent transactions, the credentials are read from the mobile device itself.

 

Disabling this feature will allow the users to authenticate the Digital Card only if the mobile device is online. For each transaction, the IXM Mobile app will communicate with the server to fetch the card details required for authentication.

Once entered, click on Save button to save the settings.
