GENERAL PURPOSE
The AIR-USB issuer is designed to work with any Access Control System software on a
PC on the selected operating mode:
1. Read RFID tags - used as a desktop reader for RFID tags (125 kHz and 13.56 MHz) and
Bluetooth AIR Key tags to add to the system.
2. Encrypt RFID - used to encode RFID tags 13.56 MHz Mifare - 1k,4k, MINI.
3. Restore RFID - used to decode RFID tags 13.56 MHz Mifare - 1k,4k, MINI.
The AIR-USB device supports the transmission of RFID tag information in various Wiegand
modes: 8/26/34/44
CONNECTION
The AIR-USB Issuer uses its own Wi-Fi AP/access point for connection, which is available
for some time after the device is turned on, as well as a web-based interface for making settings
and selecting operating modes. For the first connection and setup, you can use a smartphone,
tablet, or laptop.
Follow these steps to connect:
1. Connect the device to the USB port of the PC - all the drivers necessary for the operation of the
device will be installed automatically.
2. Connect to the device via WI-Fi - use network scanning to do this. The device name is
"AIR_Desktop_XXXXXXXXX" (where XXXXXXX is the serial number of the device).
3. Go to the device's web-based interface - to do this, open a browser and enter the IP address
192.168.4.1 to go to the device's web-based interface.
4. Login - for the initial login, you do not need to use either login or a password. Leave these
fields blank and click Submit.

WORK ROUTE
Read RFID Tags
To read the card code, in the Read RFID tags mode, do the following:
1. Select the area for entering the code by moving the mouse cursor over it. Confirm your
choice by pressing the left mouse button.
2. Bring the card to the issuer. After the successful reading of the RFID tag, the device will emit
two short beeps. Reading time usually does not take more than 1 second.
3. Confirm adding the code to the system if required.
4. Repeat the steps from Step 1 if adding multiple cards.
Encrypt RFID Tags
To start the card encoding procedure, in the Encrypt RFID tags mode, do the following:
1. Bring the card to the issuer and hold to start the encoding procedure. The device will emit 1
short beep to indicate the start of encoding and 2 short beeps upon successful completion.
If the encoding process fails (for example, the type of RFID tag is not intended for encoding,
is damaged, or the user removed the card before the encoding process was completed),
the user will hear 1 short and 2 long beeps.
Note
The time of the encryption/recovery procedure depends on the memory size of the RFID tags.
Example: Mifare 1K - up to 10 seconds, Mifare 4K - up to 19 seconds, Mifare MINI 4K - up to 4
seconds.
