Key Features : Experience enhanced versatility :
  • Use one smart card reader to read standard proximity format data from HID iCLASS credentials or unique serial numbers from HID MIFARE cards.
  • Confidently install the reader knowing that the Wiegand output easily interfaces with most existing Wiegand protocol access control panels.
  • To support read/write applications, the bi-directional RS232 serial port provides connection to a PC or microcontroller.
Appreciate advanced security :
  • All RF data transmission between the card and smart card reader is encrypted using a secure algorithm.
  • By using industry-standard encryption techniques and advanced key management systems, iCLASS reduces the risk of compromised data or duplicated cards.
Be secure in knowing :
  • HID iCLASS complies with the ISO 15693 standard for contactless smart card technology. Standards are important in smart card technology because they make it possible for many equipment and application developers to work with the smart card technology and create a broader range of uses for the card.
  • HID iCLASS technology can extend the use of your access control credential into other applications today and tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions – HID RW100 Reader / Writer 6101

Quick answers to common questions about the HID RW100 Reader / Writer 6101, its specifications, compatibility, and use in access control systems.

Q. What is the HID RW100 6101 used for?
RW100 6101 is used wherever data needs to be written to an iCLASS card - typical applications include access control credential issuance, IT logon, biometric template storage on card, digital cash, time and attendance, equipment checkout and transit passes.
Q. Can the RW100 6101 write to all HID iCLASS card sizes?
Yes. The RW100 reads and writes iCLASS credentials with 2k bit (256 Byte), 16k bit (2k Byte) and 32k bit (4k Byte) of storage.
Q. Does the RW100 6101 also read MIFARE cards?
Yes. The RW100 reads the serial number (CSN) of ISO 14443A MIFARE cards and reads / writes 16k iCLASS credentials over ISO 14443B, in addition to its primary ISO 15693 iCLASS read / write capability.
Q. How does the RW100 6101 connect to a PC?
The RW100 has a bi-directional RS-232 serial port that connects to a PC or microcontroller for write applications, and a Wiegand output for connection to standard access control panels for read-only access decisions.
Q. What is the warranty of the HID RW100 6101?
HID Global provides a Lifetime warranty on the RW100 6101 reader / writer.
