1 Product Overview
The LiteScape SPAR (Secure Personal Authentication Reader) is a small human interface device
designed for encrypting security related user inputs to a network device, such as a VoIP telephone,
over an IEEE 802.3 LAN connection. The LiteScape Spar consists of a microprocessor-controlled
motherboard that is integrated with a network hub, a 3-track magnetic card reader, an RFID reader,
and a biometric fingerprint reader.
The LiteScape Spar is powered by IEEE 802.3af standard Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Endpoint/Midspan Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) {48 VDC nominal} and enumerates as a Class
0 Powered Device (PD). As an option, you can power the LiteScape Spar by a 48VDC external power
brick with a 2.5 x 5.5mm DC barrel plug which is used for powering the device when connected to a
standard non-PoE LAN.
