How To Post Number Shown (Printed) On RFID Badge
What do you do when you want to use an existing RFID-NFC badge for a new solution?
This post shows you how the ID shown (printed) on an RFID badge can be posted. Having your idChamp® brand NF4 RFID-NFC reader post the correct value is easy using the Serial Device Manager (SDM). You simply scan the RFID badge, enter the value printed on the badge, and the PAC Wizard does the setup.
Apps Using the Serial Device Manager (SDM)
Apps SerialMagic Keys, iScanBrowser, Cloud-In-Hand® Stratus-io Time and Attendance, Mobile Grid and 3rd party apps using SDM all provide PAC Wizard. In this example you’ll see the PAC Wizard setup to post the value printed on the card.
