HOW TO CREATE TWN4 CONFIG CARDS

AppBlaster is used to create TWN4 CONFIG Cards. When a TWN4 CONFIG Programmer is connected to a

PC, the “Create Config Card” and “Read Card Info” buttons will appear.

Note: Please refer to the video on the thumb drive from the TWN4 CONFIG Programmer package for a

quick startup guide on configuring TWN4 readers.

Center a blank or previously used TWN4 CONFIG Card on the TWN4 CONFIG Programmer and click

“Create Config Card”.

The firmware image is created and the window “Performing Action“ appears. The creation of the TWN4

CONFIG Card will time out and be cancelled if it has not been placed on the programmer before the status

bar disappears.

If the presented TWN4 CONFIG Card was previously configured a second window “Messages” will appear to

confirm the user would like to overwrite it. Click “OK” to proceed. The messages window will display card

information and “Done” once the TWN4 CONFIG Card has been created.

Note: The card reader can be enabled or disabled to the future use of TWN4 CONFIG Cards.

Before creating a TWN4 CONFIG Card, click on “Behavior/Signaling” in the window “Action Items” and select

or deselect the check box next to “Accept CONFIG Cards” as appropriate. This setting will be stored in the

TWN4 CONFIG Card and applied to any TWN4 reader during programming.
