Introduction A66 SOLO
Reader VAKA A66 and operation mode SOLO is available from version 3.00.
With Axema SOLO, an off-line system consisting of 20 doors can be deployed, fully without phys-
ical interconnecting cabling. One of the readers are set as Master and the other readers are set as
Slaves. The configuration of the master reader is distributed to the slave readers by MIFARE
DESFire EV2 credentials. Axema radio keys (RN18), MIFAREClassic, and EM credentials can
be used in a SOLO system, but not to distribute data.
In a SOLO system, access rights and time schedules (incl. daily open
and exit button) are identical for all readers. Codes can be con-
figured to be distributed in the slave readers or only work in the mas-
ter reader.

Maintenance/ administration of a SOLO-sys-
tem
If the system's users have DESFire EV2 fobs or cards, they will spread data from tha master
reader to the slave reader(s). To ensure that the database is quickly synchronized in all readers,
the slave readers can be updated manually. If the system has readers whose users do not also
pass the master reader, these readers must be updated manually.
If the system users do not have DESFire EV2 chips, all slave readers must be updated manually.
Synchronisation of all readers.
A programming tag is referred to the DESFIRE EV2 tag that was added to the system after initially
setting the master reader as master.
Until a plus (+) sign is shown in the right corner in the display of the master reader
i. Present the programming credential to the master reader.
ii. Present the programming credential to all slave readers

About MIFARE DESFire EV2 tags
A MIFARE DESFire EV2 tag can only exist in one SOLO system at a time. If a tag is added to
another system, the tag will stop working in the previous system. DESFire EV2-tags can also be
used in systems where information not is spread by the tag, even if the tags are active in a SOLO
system.
The table below shows capabilities for carrying information for different memory capacities of the
DESFire cards/tags.
