1. Introduction
This manual describes how you can use AEOS Blue together with Nedap's long range vehicle
identification products:
•TRANSIT
TRANSIT is Nedap's platform for automatic identification of vehicles and drivers. TRANSIT is
specifically designed to perform in high security applications and under harsh environmental
conditions, offering long-range identification of taxis, ambulances, buses and trucks.
•uPASS
uPASS is Nedap's vehicle and people identification platform based on UHF RFID technology.
Specifically designed for convenient yet secure access control in every parking facility, gated
community and campus.
•ANPR Access / ANPR LUMO
ANPR is Nedap's automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) platform. Designed for vehicle
access applications where it is not possible or desired to issue RFID tags. ANPR is the perfect
solution for situations where vehicles need to be granted access temporarily or incidentally.
This manual shows you how Nedap vehicle identification hardware must be connected to the
AEOS Blue controller. It also provides step-by-step instructions to configure the hardware, as well
as AEmon and AEOS.

2.2 Configuring the TRANSIT reader (for Wiegand)
All tags for the TRANSIT reader, both the normal and the ultimate tag, are encoded with a specific
Nedap customer code. You must use the same customer code for the TRANSIT reader. Specific
firmware is required, depending on the type of interface you use to connect the reader to the
AEOS Blue controller. The default interface is the Wiegand interface and the firmware that should
be used for this connection type is P81.
To configure the TRANSIT reader, take the following steps:
Update the TRANSIT reader firmware (if necessary)
By default, the TRANSIT reader is configured with the correct end user customer code. If the
settings need to be changed, you must upload the P81 firmware with the correct customer code to
the reader. For this, you need a dedicated Nedap Firmware Upgrade software tool. Nedap
Identification Systems can provide you with the correct firmware and tools.
The example below shows a firmware upload with (in this case, for example) customer
code DF1814.
Uploading P81 firmware with the Nedap Firmware Upgrade software tool
1. Log in to the Nedap Identification Systems partner portal
2. Download and install the PICLoader software.
3. Connect the Transit reader to the computer.
4. Open the PICLoader software tool.
5. Click the 'open folder' icon and select the correct TRANSIT firmware.
6. Click Download.
7. Close the PICLoader software tool.

2.3 Configuring AEmon (for Wiegand)
To configure the AEOS Blue controller for the TRANSIT reader (Wiegand interface) in AEmon, take
the following steps:
Configure the identifier type in AEmon
1. Start AEmon
2. In AEmon, create/open the configuration, including the AP7803 AEOS Blue controller and
the StandardDoor access point (see the AEOS Access Points and Entrances manual).
3. Right-click the StandardDoor AEbc, and click Properties.

2.4 Configuring AEOS (for Wiegand)
To configure AEOS for the TRANSIT reader (Wiegand interface), take the following steps:
Define the identifier type in AEOS
To define the identifier type, which is a 'generic' AEOS identifier type, do as follows:
1. Go to Administration > Maintenance > Identifiers > Identifier types.
2. Click New.
3. Enter a Name and Sub type,Customer code type, Identifier length, minimum value and
maximum value.
Wiegand 26 identifier type settings
For other Wiegand formats, other settings may apply. The identifier type settings must match the
settings in AEmon, see section 2.3.
The customer code settings must match the settings in the P81Test software tool, see section 2.2.
4. Click OK.
Check the AEOS event log
1. Go to Monitor >Events >View log.
2. Click Search.
3. Check if AEOS correctly processes the card number.
For more information on the AEOS event log, see the AEOS user manual.

3.2 Configure the uPASS reader (for Wiegand)
With the Wiegand 26 card format, you must apply specific settings on the reader to ensure that
the correct card information is sent to the Wiegand interface. Note that the reader must be set to
UHF mode.
To configure the uPASS reader, take the following steps:
Retrieve card information (if necessary)
First, you need to know your card format and facility code. If you don’t know your card format and
facility code, you can use the dedicated Nedap UHFtool software to retrieve them. Nedap
Identification Systems can provide you with the correct tool.
The example below shows a Wiegand 26 card format, with facility code 99 and ID number 4251.
Retrieving card information with the Nedap UHFTool software
1. Log in to the Nedap Identification Systems partner portal
2. Download and install the UHFTool software.
3. Connect the uPASS reader via USB to the computer.
4. Open the UHFTool software.
5. Press F2 to connect.

settings need to be changed, you must upload the P81 firmware with the correct customer code to
the reader. For this, you need a dedicated Nedap Firmware Upgrade software tool. Nedap
Identification Systems can provide you with the correct firmware and tools.
The example below shows a firmware upload with (in this case, for example) customer
code DF1814.
