This article demonstrates how to switch Bluetooth modes on the Scanfob qID mini UHF reader. Note: The Scanfob qID must be unpaired from any devices before switching the Bluetooth mode. 1. Access the main menu by holding down the scan button within two seconds of powering on the qID. There are four main menu options; PROFILE, BEEP, VIBRATE, and POWER. You can scroll through menu options by quickly pressing the scan button. 2. Select “PROFILE” by holding down the scan button once “PROFILE” is highlighted/selected to access the Bluetooth profile

Mobile Attendance Decoding Different RFID Badges There are many different ISO standards, protocols, and physical differences between various RFID tag types.  Choosing compatible readers and tags can be tricky, especially for an RFID novice. For the purposes of this explanation, we’ll only focus on passive RFID, specifically, Low-Frequency (LF), High-Frequency (HF), Near Field Communication (NFC), and NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF). For a little bit of background, here are some examples of how each type of RFID tag is used. Passive RFID examples:♦  Employee and / or Student Access control

RFID Tags RFID tags consist of two primary components; a microchip that processes and stores the information/data and an antenna to receive and transmit RFID radio-wave signals. To read information from the tag/label, a two-way radio-receiver called an interrogator (or reader) sends a radio-wave signal to the tag(s) using its antenna. Tags that are within range of the interrogator’s signal will respond with the data stored in its memory. Most RFID tags are passive tags, which use the energy from the interrogator’s signal to relay its stored information. Alternatively, battery-powered RFID tags use

Many of our customers want to know just how secure Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) — or Bluetooth Smart/Bluetooth 4.0 — communication is. In response, we’ve made this article to provide basic information about the BLE standard, what it entails and what it means for your security concerns. The BLE Pairing Process How does Bluetooth Low Energy pairing work? Generally, the process of pairing two BLE or Bluetooth Smart devices consists of three phases; the information exchange, key generation and transport-specific key generation. Phase One: Information Exchange The first phase consists of the
