There are lots of different 'formats' for these cards, but it seems that all the cards my system can detect produce a 'card id' which is an 8-byte string. When I look at this in 'raw format' it is show as 16 hex characters like this:0123-4567-89AB-CDEFThe following information has been gleaned from observation and experimentation, and may be incorrect in some detail, but it is close enough for me to work with. If you have more or better information, please let me know so I can correct this post.Digits 0 through 3 identify the 'card type'. Depending on the card type, the remaining digits are parceled out into various fields with cryptic names, like 'RCM code' 'facility code' and 'card stamp'. RCM codes and facility codes seem to exist solely to allow batches of related cards to be managed without having to manage all the bits that make up the total card code.Card stamp is the last 4 or 5 hex digits; the 26-bit formats use 4, and the 34-bit formats use 5. So you have a card from a foreign system, and you don't know the card type or any of the other fields you need to make it work. How do you get the information you need?There are a number of choices depending on your situation.
I apologize if I am activating an older post. I found this page on google looking for formats of HID Cards. I was hoping to get in contact with 0xFFFF and check out that format script. Do you have 32-Bit formats inside your script? Corporate 1000 proximity cards are not compatible with other bit formats. If you are currently using HID cards that are not 48-bit format, you have the option to replace all of your existing cards simultaneously or to gradually transition into the Corporate 1000 Program.
If your card key system includes an 'enrollment reader' you can use that to swipe cards and automatically add them to your system. Unfortunately, my system does NOT have an enrollment reader, so I needed another solution.In my Passpoint's 'System Administration Options' menu (pull down 'Config' and select 'Admin') there is an option 'Denial Override.' When selected, it has two effects. First of all, this is dangerous to leave active for any period of time, because 'Denial override' is what this does; any card swipe will open the door, even an unknown card. Do don't leave this setting activated!
The other effect it has, though, is to include the card code in the message log, so it's easy to capture the code for an unknown card.So, to use an unknown card:1) swipe it on a reader. If the reader doesn't beep, it is incompatible with the system.2) on the Passpoint control station, set the 'denial override' feature, and upload the changes to the MLB3) swipe your unknown cards and record the card codes from the log4) turn off 'denial override' and upload the change to the MLB5) create new card records for your unknown cards. If you can decode the card type and other fields, great. If not, just use the RAW card type, and put in the full card code reported when you had 'denial override' active.6) upload the new cards to the MLB, and test.WooHoo!
@anonymous: In Passpoint, pull down 'Tools' and select 'Reporting.' In the passpoint reporter, select the report 'Cardholders (all)' and select the 'debug interactive' mode. Click the 'Run Report' button, which will open the MK Query Builder screen.
Assuming you need the card codes in the export, in the data structure under 'Cards' double-click on 'CardCode' to add it to the field list. Now click the 'Lightning bolt' icon to run the query. After the query runs, you'll see some of your results. One of the icons at the bottom is for 'Export'. Click that, select the fields you want to export, then the format you want to export into (probably Excel DDE in your case), then click Export. Voila, a spreadsheet with your cardholders and their card codes.
It sounds confusing without pictures, let me know if you need more details. @anonymous: The.only. information in one of these prox cards is a serial number. All the data about what was done with the card is accumulated in the systems that read the serial number.
You can't alter or erase the serial number that's burned into the chip. By bending a prox card you CAN make it stop working, by breaking the wire that's inside it. There's a coil of wire that goes almost along the perimeter of the card, when you wave it in front of a reader, a magnetic field in the reader induces current in the card, which powers the chip inside and lets it respond with its code. I can't tell you how much time this saved me. My cards actually came from our security company and getting assistance from them is like pulling teeth. Here are the specifics on the type card I had my problems with:Card Tech is 26 Bit Prox NNC.The raw code looks like:8201-0000-blah-blahthe third and forth set are the keys.The Third set is the hex value for the facility code.The Forth set is the hex value for the card stamp.Never would have figured this out without your help.

The HID card number your business currently uses for access control and secured identity is printed on the back of the card. However, these numbers mean nothing to you because only HID representatives understand which numbers correspond with the type of access cards available. For each card holder, the same encrypted serial number is set, then programmed and assigned to the access control software. If you are installing an HID card system for the first time, HID can help you select a format and facility code.
