Step 2. Device Configuration

1. Add a device to BioStar 2

2. Confirm your card type which you are going to use

2-1. CSN Card type: Mifare (13.56 Mhz), Felica (13.56Mhz), EM Card (125 kHz)

2-2. WIEGAND card Type: iClass Card (13.56Mhz),  HID Prox Card (125 kHz)

3. Follow the configuration in accordance with the card type

<CSN CARD>

3-1. Click [Setting] > [Card Format]

3-2. Click red box as follows to add new Wiegand format in accordance with Wiegand data

3-3. Let's say, you have 34 bit Mifare CSN card. The configuration is as follows.

3-3 Click [Device] and choose the connected device to configure additional configuratioin

3-4 Click CSN Card Format and choose Format Type as [Wiegand]
