Using 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technology, the HID RWK400 Reader/Writer Keypad Reader provides a powerful solution. Combine a contactless card presentation with a personal identification number (PIN) to support dual authentication of identity. Or, configure the panel for single-factor authentication, using only a card or a PIN.
The PIN can be verified either at the access control panel or locally by the keypad reader. When verified locally, the PIN must be programmed into the iCLASS card.
The HID RWK400 Reader/Writer Keypad Reader offers the same features as the HID R RWK400 Reade , with the extended ability to read/write user data to HID iCLASS credentials. Read/write applications include the storage/retrieval of data such as biometric templates, health records, time and attendance, and digital cash. The possibilities are endless!
Q1. What is the HID iCLASS RWK400 Reader/Writer Keypad Reader?
The HID iCLASS RWK400 Reader/Writer Keypad Reader uses 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technology combined with a PIN keypad to provide dual-factor authentication. Users can present a card and enter a PIN, or configure the system for single-factor authentication using card or PIN only.
Q2. Where can the PIN be verified in the HID RWK400 system?
In the HID RWK400 system, the PIN can be verified either at the access control panel or locally by the keypad reader itself. When verified locally, the PIN must be pre-programmed into the iCLASS card, adding an additional layer of security independent of the access control host.
Q3. What are the keypad specifications of the HID RWK400?
The HID RWK400 features a 12-position weatherproof keypad with discrete switches for positive tactile response, optional audible tone feedback, a waterproof silicone rubber boot, vandal-resistant metal keycaps, and backlit numbering for use in all lighting conditions.
Q4. What card types and read ranges does the HID RWK400 support?
The HID RWK400 reads iCLASS cards up to 4" (10.2 cm), iCLASS Key/Tag up to 1.25" (3.2 cm), and MIFARE/DESFire cards (CSN) up to 2" (5.1 cm). It also supports US Government PIV (Rev B), FeliCa IDm, and CEPAS CAN/CSN (Transit Reader version).
Q5. What read/write applications does the HID RWK400 support?
The HID RWK400 reads/writes to iCLASS credentials offering 2k bit (256 Byte), 16k bit (2k Byte), or 32k bit (4k Byte) of data storage, supporting applications including biometric template storage, health records, time and attendance, digital cash, and equipment checkout. It carries a lifetime warranty.
