 Discussion

This document identifies the jumper settings that have to be used when setting up the CapeClock and are dependent on the type of Reader that is to be used.

 Reader Types

The voltage settings are done using jumper JP2 for Reader 1 and JP4 for Reader 2.

 Background Information

The "Wiegand" chip on the clock translates data in Wiegand format into that of "3 of 9" format. 

The fingerprint reader communicates with the Wiegand Version 1.2 Clock chip using Apollo 44 bit Wiegand. 

The Proximity Readers are configured to communicate with the clock via the Clock board chip "Wiegand" as well.  The format selected here is Wiegand 34 bit. 

The Keypad (as a reader, not as a Finger Print Reader keypad) has its own embedded chip that converts key presses into "3 of 9" format. 

The Keypad for the Fingerprint Reader collects the key presses but sends the individual key presses out as 10bit HID Wigand format, until the # key is pressed, then the BCD number is strung together and sent out as a 44bit HID Wigand format.  The last two bits of the 44bit transmit are hard coded as 0's.
