SmaFinger is a fingerprint reader developed on the so-call contactless smart card 13.56 Mhz RFID technology. The
integration of biometric technology by fingerprint identification and 13.56Mhz RFID technology make Smafinger be
capable of biometric and contactless performance without spending large amount of expenses in running system
upgrading with fingerprint system extension. On the aspect of personal privacy issue, SmaFinger supply the high secure
of protection on privacy concern due to every fingerprint is stored on a card. Also the reader itself supports Mifare
MAD1/MAD2 format make user end be able to issue their customized ID cards.
Features:
1. Support MAD1/MAD2 standard, and support customer MAD-AID setting.
2. Support Non-MAD format with user-defined sector number.
3. Support Anti-Collision (Two cards to gether can be read at the same time).
4. Support used card with data offset and length.
5. Support Multi Sectors.
6. Support Mifare®Standard 4K or Mifare®Standard 1K card.
7. Each Reader with Reader ID for multi-link application.
8. Output interface: Wiegand (Default), ABA-TK2 and RS232.
9. Wiegand output selectable from 26 bits to 128 bits.
10. RS232 output packet can be set with Header, Reader ID and Trailer.

Mifare®Application Directory (MAD) Support:
SmaFinger support the MAD format card, the MAD (mifare® application directory) standard proposes the
introduction of common data structures for card application directory entries. SmaFinger reader should take
advantage of this feature using those sector pointers instead of physical sector number.

SmaFinger will use the Non-MAD Sector# (Setting by
SmaFinger Utility).

User-Data Format
SmaFinger will send out the data following the format as below, the user data length defined by the Data-Info.
At wiegand output format, the data output length is fixed (defined by Number Of Bits), so the user data would
be cut if longer than Number of Bits, or the user data would be appended with zero "0" if shorter than Number
of Bits.

Data Type (11b) Data Length
Data Type is fixed with 11b which meets "any other data" type of "Card Holder information" as MAD standard.
And data length is including the data with ending zero "0", so the number of data byte sent by SmaFinger is
equal to data length with one less for RS232 output.
Example: Data Length is 16, SmaFinger only send out 15 bytes for RS232 output.

Mifare Reader Utility
1. Mifare Settings:
MAD-AID: (Default=4703)
MAD Application Identifier number is authorized and assigned by Mifare.net upon the customer’s request
for registered Application Identifier in a mifare® application open system (AID: 0000h~FFFFh).
Or it is also possible for the user to define the AID himself for the application in user defined closed
system without registering into MAD group. According to the AID, SmaFinger can find and read the
corresponding sector on the MAD card.
Non-MAD Sector: (Default =0)
When the card is Non-MAD format, SmaFinger will only read the "Non-MAD Sector".
(1K Card Sector: 0~15, 4K Card Sector:0~39). For the Non-MAD application, user can freely define the
Sector.
App Key (KEY_A): (Default=FFFFFFFFFFFF)
App Key must be the same as the KEY_A of the card issued. This means SmaFinger only can read the
sector data on the card with the same KEY_A.
Encrypt: (Default=None)
Fraud prevention, Select Encrypt Mode (None, Encrypt 1, Encrypt 2, Encrypt 3, Encrypt 4, Encrypt 5) to
protected your card data. (Remark: Encrypt mode must to work together with the same encrypt mode of
"Mifare Card Issuer" software.)

Used Card (Not issued by "Mifare Card Issuer")
You have to indicate the data position in the card, when the card is not issued by "Mifare Card Issuer"
software. And you must set the "Offset" (Max 255, and base from zero) form the beginning of sector and
set your data "Length" (Max 128).
Example:
If your card data in the grey grid of sector, you have to set the "Offset" = 17, and set the "Length"= 20.

a. Card Data Only: Read card sector data only; If any error (ex. mifare key error), reader will show "Card
Invalid" status.
b. Card Data or CSN (Card Serial Number): Read card sector data, If any error (ex. mifare key error),
reader will send the CSN to host.
c. CSN Only: CSN read only.
Output Mode: (Default=Once)
a. Once: Send data (or CSN) to host once.

Brown wire = Inactive ( or Card Is invalid): Show LED color and beeps to indicate the end-user when
brown wire = Inactive, or card was failed by SmaFinger reader.

from Host.
Brown wire Active level: Set Brown wire Active level condition with Host status.
Disable: Always disable the Brown wire. (Default), LED/Buzzer control by reader self.
High: Active High / Normal keep in Low.
Low: Active Low / Normal keep in High.
Remark:
If set Active Low, you may have to connect brow n wire to a pull-up resistor (1K~10K) with 5VDC).
Control Brown wire:
After Data Output: The brown wire will be enabling after finished output the card data or CSN. (Default)
Any Time: The brown wire enabled in any time.
Note: See Annex E, the LED/Buzzer also can be controlled externally with High/Low

Test SmaFinger Reader after configuration
After SmaFinger configuration is completed you may use Mifare Reader Utility "Test" function to test the
SmaFinger to see if the configuration is done correctly.
1. After the configuration on the Mifare Reader Utility software is made, you should click [Update Reader] to
download the current configuration to the SmaFinger Reader.
2. After SmaFinger configuration is completed, you may click [Test] to test SmaFinger Reader.
3. Get an issued mifare®card to put on SmaFinger reader to be read and see the output data on the window
of "SmaFinger Output Test".
Wiegand 34 bits output data with standard bit sequence, example as below: (If "Bit Sequence" is standard,
Reverse will detect a wrong with parity error.)
Remark:
1. Using Reader-Kit to test Wiegand (or TK2) signal, this test may be failed if the processor of computer is
too slow.
2. Using Reader-Kit to test Wiegand (or TK2) signal, you have to connect to the physical Comm. Port.

The Data 1 and Data 0 signals are held at a logic high level unit, the reader is ready to send a data stream.
The reader places data as asynchronous low-going pulses on the Data 1 or Data 0 lines to transmit the data
stream to Host. The Data 1 and Data 0 pulses will allowable pulse width times and pulse interval times for the
SmaFinger reader.
