Version 3.0.3 - 2
Introduction
The Inepro USB (Universal Serial Bus) card reader consists of a
USB interface controller board with a proximity card reader. The
controller board is programmed with software to read out the UID
(Unique ID) of the proximity card. By default the card reader reads
out the CSN (Card Serial Number) of the proximity card.
Please note that the firmware version programmed in the controller
board is depending on the proximity card technology and, if
needed, customized read out of the UID of the user card.
When a user card is presented to the reader the host device
receives the data as a keyboard input in hex format.
The Inepro USB Card Reader has an unique vendor and a
application ID. The vendor ID of Inepro = 0x1DA6, the application
ID = 0x0110. For each Inepro USB Card Reader the same
vendor/application ID is used (regardless of the used Inepro USB
card reader). At the connection procedure the software version of
the Inepro USB Card Reader is send to the host device.
Supported Proximity Card Technologies
USB Communication
The Inepro USB card readers supports the USB 2.0 protocol as a
Human Interface Device (HID)

Operation
Connect the reader
Connect the reader to a free USB port.
Inner operation of the Inepro USB reader
The card number that is read by the Inepro USB Card Reader is a
hex decimal format. This hex decimal number is divided into two
and after that the keyboard representation code of the number
shall be send by the USB interface controller. After the last
character an <enter> keystroke code is send.
The software driver that runs in the host will convert the code to the
ASCII character of the keystroke code.
When the card is removed, only a single <enter> keystroke code is
send.
For example:
·Read value: 0x12345678 (hex decimal number)
·Send keystroke data:
<0x1E><0x1F><0x20><0x21><0x22><0x23><0x24><0x25><0x
58>
·Conversion to ASCII characters by the HID host driver:
<1><2><3><4><5><6><7><8><enter>

Version 3.0.3 - 10
Inepro Card Reader Tools
There are two Inepro Card Reader Tools; the Inepro Reader
Software and Inepro Reader Update. The Inepro Reader Software
is used to read out a card and view the card details like the card
ID and sector information. It can also be used to see if other
output formats will return the desired card ID and to create and
store custom configuration files. The Inepro Reader Update Tool is
used to update to Inepro reader with new firmware or another or
new configuration file.
Inepro Reader Update Tool
With this tool it is possible to upgrade the reader firmware and to
program a custom created config file. For more information
regarding this Reader Program Tool please consult the user
manual.

With this software card information can be read out, and custom
configuration files can be stored.
HID or HID?
When working with card reader the term 'HID' will emerge, so what
does it mean?
Well, the complex issue with this question is, that there are two
concepts that both are called 'HID' and both are related to the card
reader. Therefore both will be explained:
HID
Hughes Identification Devices, or HID is often a reference to one or
more card technologies developed by the Hughes Identification
Devices company, like HID Prox or iClass SE.
HID
A Human Interface Device, or HID is a type of computer device that
interacts directly with humans. In this manual the card reader is
such a HID

Change the Configuration of the reader
By default the card reader is programmed as full output and will
recognize all available card types. This can be changed by
changing the configuration of the reader, for example by changing
to Classic output. A default classic output configuration file can be
found in the config files folder. To change the configuration follow
the following instructions:
Prequisites:
§No prequisites required
1. Open the shortcut to the Inepro Reader Update tool.
On the bottom of the tool the status of the reader is shown (in
this image: 'Inepro reader detected: multiiso 31.0.977 (config
hidraw)'). Normally when no reader is connected this will be:
'Inepro Reader Removed'.
'Inepro reader detected: multiiso 31.0.977 (config hidraw)'
means that an Inepro reader has been detected by the
software and that that reader is a Multi ISO reader that has the
'HID raw' config file loaded.

Change the Configuration of the reader

2. Connect the USB connector to a free USB port on your PC
Shortly after that, the status 'Inepro reader removed', should
change to 'Inepro reader detected' and will show the type of the
reader and which firmware and config file is loaded on the
reader.
3. Select the required config file by clicking the search button in the
config block:
4. A browse window is now opened, select the classic output
configuration in the config files folder:
After selecting the correct file, the file name is now shown in
the config block, but the button to program the config is still
greyed out and cannot be selected.
This is because the reader is in 'normal mode' and not in
'program mode'.

5. To set the reader in program mode click on “Switch to program
mode” in the Reader mode block.
6. To verify that the reader is in program mode the 3 led’s on front
of the reader will blink continuously.
7. Now click “Program Config” to actually upload the selected
config to the reader.
Shortly the Status will show; “Programming” but it will only take
a few seconds, once finished the Status bar is completely
green.
8. Now switch back the reader to normal mode by pressing the
button “Switch to normal mode” in the reader mode Block.

The reader will beep twice and after a few seconds only the
right LED will light up.
9. Close the Inepro USB reader tool and remove the USB
connector from your PC.
10.To see now what has been changed, please follow the steps of
the chapter: “Default Card read out”.
As you will see the output is now changed.
It now only shows the Hexadecimal card ID and will only return
<Enter> when removing the Card
Inepro Reader Software
With the Inepro Reader software it is possible to read out the RFID
technology of the card as well as all the RAW details. These details
can be stored, typically to export to third party software/databases.
The Inepro Reader software is using 'HID Raw' as communication
with the reader. The type of communication is set in the
configuration, the default configuration uses HID. So to let the card
reader communicate with the Inepro Reader software the reader
must be programmed with a configuration containing 'HID Raw'
communication.
To change the configuration please see the chapter: “Change the
configuration of the reader”. Change the configuration using the
Following config file: “IneproReaderSoftware.readerconfig”.
The following settings can be adjusted and afterwards stored in a
configuration file which can be programmed in to the reader:
