The Prox-Booster Tacho additionally sends the tacho-counter value, which relates to the travelled distance of the vehicle. The Booster allows an inserted Proximity or Smartcard driver ID card and embedded vehicle ID to be read from a distance up to 10 meters (33 feet) in combination with NEDAP TRANSIT readers. This solution substantially enhances the level of security when controlling activities of vehicles that are regularly used by different drivers. Additionally a fully integrated vehicle and personnel access solution can be implemented. The Smartcard-Booster Ultimate additionally supports encrypted authentication using diversified AES128 bit keys, in combination with the TRANSIT Ultimate and the Security Key Pack. For more details about the NEDAP TRANSIT Standard or Ultimate reader refer to the corresponding installation guide. The combined vehicle and driver ID is a unique NEDAP patented feature. Optionally the vehicle-ID can be sacrificed if more information from the personal ID card is required. The following personal ID card types are identified with the Boosters:
NEDAP, EM and HID PROX MIFARE (incl. Desfire EV1), HID iCLASS, ISO14443A, ISO15693 and Calypso. Prox-Booster (tacho) Smartcard-Booster (Ultimate) CAUTION:
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE CARD IN ACCESS DEVICE WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE, AS THIS PRESENTS A SECURITY RISK. DO NOT LEAVE CARD IN ACCESS DEVICE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME IN EXTREME HEAT, AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE CARD. 3/27 BOOSTER 2G | USER GUIDE Installation INSTALLATION 2 2.1 DIMENSIONS The Boosters are easily mounted to the inside of the cars windshield by means of suction cups. Users should ensure the visual contact between the Booster and any TRANSIT reader is unobstructed with items such as stickers or metallized windshields (see also chapter 2.3 about solar control windshields). Note that the Booster's suction cups must be faced toward the reader to achieve maximum reading distance. X Y H Z 4.37 "

20C to 85C / -4F to +185F). However the personal identification card inserted in the Booster may not be designed to withstand such temperatures and could suffer damage as a result. Nedap recommends to remove the personal identification card when not in use. 4/27 BOOSTER 2G | USER GUIDE Installation 2.3 SOLAR CONTROL WINDSHIELDS From 1997 onwards several car manufacturers introduced vehicles with solar control windshields. The solar control windshields are equipped with a metalized coating, which can block the TRANSIT signal from the Booster mounted on the inside of the windshield of the vehicle. Most of these windshields have a metal free zone where transponders can be mounted. The metal free zone of metalized windshields is most often found in the middle of the windshield behind and slightly below the rear view mirror. In vehicles manufactured after 1998 the metal free zone should be indicated on the window. We advise the owner to contact the local car dealer if it is not clear where the aperture is exactly positioned in a certain vehicle and where the transponder should be mounted. 2.4 PROX-BOOSTER TACHO The prox-booster tacho is a special booster version that should be wired to the speed pulse generator of your vehicle. The exact wiring details and connection location very much depend upon the brand, type and model of your vehicle. Contact your vehicle dealer for more information about the speed pulse generator in your vehicle. Tacho input specifications:
Input voltage: 6V to 24V (max. 30V). Polarity reversal tolerant. Input prescaler 1:256. Maximum pulse frequency 850Hz. Maximum vehicle speed 255km/h (at 12 pulses/meter).

The driver inserts his personal identification card and activates the Boosters button. A beep should indicate that the card was successfully read. A low beep indicates that card reading failed. The TRANSIT reader can identify your card up to a distance of 10 meters (=33 ft). After 5 seconds the Booster returns into sleep mode. The booster will remain active when in 'always-on'-mode. The driver should remove his personal identification card from the Booster when leaving the vehicle. 3.2 READER OUTPUT BOOSTER INFO The Prox/Smartcard-Booster is a battery operated passive tag. The information from the tag is sent to the reader by a method called modulated backscatter. This means that the 2.45GHz signal coming from the reader's antenna is modified in such way that it can be recognized by the reader. The examples below assume that a TRANSIT reader with P81 firmware is used and show the messages transmitted on the RS-232 interface to a host system (TXD). Refer to the TRANSIT firmware manuals for more details about the reader communication protocol. Combi-Booster mode (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID) The Booster cannot be identified until the driver inserts his personal identification card and pushes the Boosters button. Once the button is pushed the Booster reads upon a successful read. Both vehicle-id the personal identification card and beepsP and driver-id are tfransmitted to the host system for 5 seconds. Afterwards the Booster automatically deactivates again. The booster will remain active when in
'always-on'-mode. Example vehicle-id = 123, driver-id = E4947C46, TXD = Y000000012300000000000000E4947C46PCPRRRPLPRFR If 'Standard-length' is configured, the following message is transmitted to the host. TXD = U000000012300E4947C46PCPRRRPLPRF Driver-id (10 or 22 digits). Event identifier ('Y' or 'U'). Vehicle-id (10 digits). Booster mode (Only Driver-ID) The Booster is 'sleeping' until the driver inserts his personal identification card and pushes the Boosters button. Once the button is pushed the Booster reads the personal identification card and beepsP transmitted to the host system for 5 seconds. After that the Booster automatically deactivates again. The booster will remain active when in 'always-on'-mode. upon a successful read. The data is Note See chapter 6 for details about the buzzer indications. 6/27 BOOSTER 2G | USER GUIDE Identifying The Booster With A TRANSIT Example driver-id = 871111111117100944, TXD = Z00000000000000871111111117100944PCPRRRPLPRFR If 'Standard-length' is configured, the following message is transmitted to the host. TXD = U00871111111117100944PCPRRRPLPRF Event identifier ('Z' or 'U'). Driver-id (20 or 32 digits). 3.3 READER OUTPUT TACHO INFO Tacho-Booster mode (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID + Tacho-Counter) The prox-booster tacho should be connected to the speed pulse generator of your vehicle. The prox-booster will count the number of pulses generated. The Booster cannot be identified until the driver inserts his personal identification card and pushes the Boosters button. Once the button is pushed the Booster reads upon a successful read. Both vehicle-id, the personal identification card and beepsP driver-id and tacho-counter are transmitted to the host system for 5 seconds. Afterwards the Booster automatically deactivates again. The tacho counter will be updated while the booster is deactivated. The booster will remain active when in
'always-on'-mode. Example reader output: vehicle-id = 123, driver-id = E4947C46, tacho-counter = 2AC4, TXD = X000000012300E4947C468000002AC4PCPRRRPLPRFR Event identifier ('X' = triple identifier detection event).

This configuration card is a Mifare Classic 1K or 4K card that is programmed with the configuration settings. Configuration is only required if the factory default settings are not sufficient. The default settings are described in chapter 4.2.3. 4.1 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE Every Booster used in the application should be configured with the configuration card. The simple configuration procedure is described below. Insert the configuration card in the Booster and push the button. The Booster sounds the buzzer with an increasing frequency ( ) to indicate that the configuration card is accepted. 4.2 HOW TO CREATE A CONFIGURATION CARD NEDAP has developed a software application that allows system integrators to create configuration cards. This software can be downloaded from our website Uwww.Nedapidentification.comU T Smartcard-Booster Config software 9/27 1 T 1 BOOSTER 2G | USER GUIDE Smartcard Configuration not covered in this manual see chapter 5

Write the configuration into a blank Mifare Classic 1K or 4K card. 4.2.1 TARGET DEVICE The Booster Configuration software can be used to configure a number of different devices. The user-interface is adapted to the selected target device. Select in the Target menu which device you are about to configure. 4.2.2 CREATION PROCEDURE Follow the procedure below to create a configuration card with application specific settings. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Operating mode Booster (only Driver-ID) Up to 16 bytes of data from the personal identification card is read. The Vehicle-ID is omitted. Combi-Booster (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID) Vehicle-ID combined with up to 11 bytes from the personal identification card is read. Tacho-Booster (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID + Tacho-Counter) Vehicle-ID and Driver-ID combined with Tacho-Counter value. If this option is selected than automatically extended-length is selected. Frame length This affects the length of the message sent to TRANSIT reader. Extended length (longer Driver-ID) Select extended-length in order to support all transponder types and maximum amount of data. The extended-length may be not compatible with older firmware versions in the TRANSIT reader. You might need to upload new firmware into the reader. The identification speed is a bit slower compared to applying standard-
length. Standard length (backwards compatible, faster identification) Select standard-length in applications where compatibility with older types of transponders or where fast identification is important. Please note that when reading low-frequency cards with a Transition-Booster this setting is not used. For NEDAP and EM cards the extended-length is not required and therefore the Booster will automatically use standard-length (even if extended-
length is selected in the configuration). For HID PROX the extended-length is required so extended-length is used automatically if such a card is identified (even if 10/27 BOOSTER 2G | USER GUIDE Smartcard Configuration standard-length is selected in the configuration). Active mode Two activation modes are possible: Switched or Always-on. The setting can only be changed when the Booster originally was in switched mode
!!!
Switched mode is selected when the operating mode is Booster (only Driver-ID). Switched mode (active for approx. 5 seconds) In switched mode the booster is active for approx. 5 seconds after the booster's button is pushed and then autmatically returns into sleep mode. Always-on (continuously active) In always-on mode the booster remains active. When the booster's button is pushed the booster will read the inserted card. If a card is identified, the booster will check every few minutes if the inserted card is still present. RFID Configuration ISO14443-A / MIFARE Enable or disable the reading of ISO14443-A / MIFARE cards. Data to read:
