4Configuration, reconfiguration and getting into
operation
This chapter describes the procedure of reader configuration for cases when the reader has not yet been
configured, is missing part of its configuration or needs to be reconfigured with new settings.
To erase current configuration or change system settings of MobileAccess function, it is necessary to
proceed with factory reset of the reader according to chapter 4.1 Restoring factory settings (factory reset).
4.1 Restoring factory settings (factory reset)
Sometimes it is necessary to restore factory settings of a reader. Such circumstances may occur when we
need to change system settings (system ID / Porter key) or after FW upgrade. Factory reset deletes all
configuration and data stored in the reader.
Resetting IMAporter Reader (RSW.04 or RSW.04-B)
1. Power the reader OFF
2. Short black, pink, brown and blue wires (ground the signalization wires)
3. Power the reader ON
4. The reader will start blinking red LED in 1sec interval and will not accept any ID media or
communicate with mobile devices, Bluetooth signal will not be visible
5. Disconnect the wires and reconnect to the control unit
6. Continue with reader configuration using a configuration card
NOTE: If the wires remain shortened, the reader will factory reset each time the power goes down!
4.2 Reconfiguration using a configuration card
A configuration card is used for setting the basic parameters of communication protocols, accepted
identification media, indication options etc. according to chapter 3.2 Configuration options.
4.2.1 Delivery and preparation of configuration cards
Configuration card with configuration agreed upon with the customer is usually supplied together with the
IMAporter Reader. Configuration cards are prepared and supplied by the system manufacturer or
authorized distributors.
4.2.2 Demo configuration cards for reader testing
For initial testing of the IMAporter Reader, it is possible to order a reader with a set of 3pcs DEMO
Configuration Cards prepared with various communication protocols and 2pcs of identification cards for
testing the correct system functions.
NOTE: DEMO configuration cards can be used only to configure readers ordered as a DEMO reader. These
cards cannot be used with ordinary readers and at the same time a DEMO reader cannot be set using
common configuration cards. For more information about reconfiguration of a DEMO reader, please
contact the supplier or manufacturer.

4.2.3 Reader configuration using a configuration card
Connect the reader to the control unit and power it up according to chapter 3.3 - Reader connection –
wiring scheme.
New or Factory reset reader
If you are configuring a new or a recently reset reader, it will start blinking red LED in 1sec interval.
Apply a configuration card and hold it at the reader for 5sec. During configuration download, the reader
shines green LED for about 3sec. After that it shortly blinks red LED. In case that identification using
mobile devices (NFC or BLE) was not allowed, the reader switches to normal operating state in which it
behaves according to the settings of the master control unit.
In case that NFC or BLE identification was allowed by the configuration card, the reader continues to blink
red LED in 1sec interval and waits for setting up using the IMAporter Reader Config app (described in
chapter 4.3 Setting up using IMAporter Reader Config).
Reconfiguration of a working reader
To change configuration of an already configured and operated reader, factory reset is not necessary. To
reload the reader with a different configuration, restart the power (switch the reader OFF and ON again)
and apply a new configuration card in the first 10sec after start-up. Hold the card at the reader for 5sec.

During configuration download, the reader shines green LED for about 3sec. After that it shortly blinks red
LED and switches to normal operating state in which it behaves according to the settings of the master
control unit.
When reconfiguring a reader, the MobileAccess system settings do not get deleted and therefore cannot
be changed. If you need to change these settings, it is necessary to reset the reader into factory settings
and configure it again.

4.3 Setting up using IMAporter Reader Config
Setting up the reader identifiers is carried out using the IMAporter Reader Config for Android, which can be
downloaded here:
http://ima.cz/app/setup
Note: Setting up using the IMAporter Reader Config app is not required, if the MobileAccess (NFC, nor
BLE) function was not allowed in the configuration card.
4.3.1 Configuration app IMAporter Reader Config
The configuration app IMAporter Reader Config is designed for initial setup of identification settings and
communication encryption keys.
After starting the app, a screen is shown asking to input Porter key and System ID.
Porter key (System Key):
This Key is a secret shared password authorizing the user device to communicate with the reader / set of
readers and enciphering the communication between the reader and the mobile device.
The system admin is able to change the Keyusing the IMAporter Reader Config app at any time if needed.
He must however make sure that all authorized users have the correct Key entered in the IMAporter
Mobile Key apps, otherwise they would not be allowed to identify themselves at the reader.

IMAporter Reader with MobileAccess function –installation guide
10/24
The Key must not be disposed to third parties as it could result in lowering the system security level.
System ID:
Identifier used by the user identification app for distinguishing between individual systems. The
IMAporter Mobile Key user identification app allows saving credential sets for multiple access systems
used in different premises. These premises are recognized according to the System ID.
A System is a specific set of readers, where the user is authorized to access using the his unique User ID
and which are connected to the same identification system. The same System ID may therefore be used in
the headquarters of a company and on all of its branches. In case of remote offices, the readers in each
office can have a different System ID.
All settings can be saved within the app as a project.
Setting up the reader:
By pressing the Setup reader button, a setup screen is launched. Now all that needs to be done is to tap
the mobile device onto the red-blinking reader (a reader in factory setup, that loaded only with initial
configuration using a configuration card).
After taping the reader with the mobile device, a short communication dialog appears on the display. If set
correctly, the reader stops blinking red LED and begins to follow the behavior set in the ID system Control
Unit.
4.3.2 Communication with ID system (control unit)
A set reader is ready to be put into operation. After this step has been finished, it is necessary to install
and set the user identification app according to chapter 5. IMAporter Mobile Key identification app.
The identification app requires entering the User ID together with the system settings described in the
previous chapter. After the user’s mobile device had been tapped at the reader, the reader validates the
Key authentication key and decodes the User ID. The User ID is sent to control unit in the preset format.

5IMAporter Mobile Key identification app
IMAporter MobileKey is a user identification app designed to process communication between the mobile
device and the IMAporter MobileAccess Reader in order to transfer user identification data.
The app is available for mobile devices running Android or iOS operating systems. Links for downloading
the corresponding apps can be found on the last page of this manual.
NOTE: This manual is a shortened version limited to the Android platform. The complete manual for
Android and iOS apps including description of all system features and remote distribution of Mobile Keys
is available for download from the product website.
The app allows the following identification options:
NFC just light up the display and tap the reader (app is running in the background and
the device can remain locked during user identification)
BLE (from app) most secure identification option, to initiate the identification process it is
necessary to run the app and select the available reader
BLE (notification area) identification process is initiated by taping a button in the notification bar. The
device scans for 5sec and when it detects a paired reader nearby, it starts
communication.
BLE (fully automatic) identification process is initiated by lighting up the display, the scanning and
communication procedure is the same as in the previous step.
After installation of the IMAporter MobileKey app, it is necessary to configure the app for communication
with the system. For this, the corresponding identifiers and authorization keys need to be set according to
the following procedure.
When running the app for the first time, a screen informing about compatible technologies will be
displayed.
For mobile access using the RSW.04 reader, it is necessary for the mobile device to support NFC; while for
RSW.04-B readers, the mobile device can support either or both NFC and BLE.
If your mobile device supports the required identification technologies, click Go to Mobile Keys Download
to continue. For applications already in use, go to My Keys in the application menu and press the red ‘+’
button to add a new mobile key.

During testing of BLE or NFC communication, the app says Unknown System ID and reader does not
react.
You have a typo in the System ID field when entered to the IMAporter MobileKey app. Please check and
rewrite if needed to match the record entered using the IMAporter Reader Config app.
During testing of BLE or NFC communication, the app says Wrong System Key and reader does not react.
You have a typo in the System Key field when entered to the IMAporter Mobile Key app or on IDcloud
server. Please check and rewrite if needed to match the record entered using the IMAporter Reader
Config app.
Mobile device says that identifier has been successfully sent, but door does not open and reader does
not react / shines with red LED

IMAporter Reader with MobileAccess function –installation guide
20/24
The user ID is not authorized to enter - it is not configured in the connected control unit
6.2 Reader state signaling –Error states
When turned ON, the reader blinks red LED in 1sec interval
The reader has either not yet been configured using the configuration card or it is missing the system
settings that are to be set using the IMAporter Setup app.
Test if the reader is accepting RFID or NFC cards (e.g.: MIFARE Classic). If cards are accepted and the
reader is still blinking red LED, it is only missing the system settings using IMAporter Setup app. If it does
not accept cards at all, it is probably in default factory settings and needs to be configured.
Indication error during identification –the reader does not blink or beep
Check if the signalization wires are connected to the control unit and that the control unit is set properly.
LED and BEEPER are controlled by grounding the specific wires. If the reader is behaves in a “strange” way,
then the wires are probably not connected or controlled properly.
Identification using a mobile device is successful, but reader blinks red LED
The identifier assigned to the mobile device is probably not authorized to access. Please check settings in
the control unit.
