Card Writing
Mifare Classic, Mifare Plus, and Desfire cards are encryption-featured cards.
• If the cards are new cards not configured, you need to write the card data before using them.
• If the cards are encrypted by the third-party service provider, please confirm the encryption information with the provider before using the ACR-CID01 to read the cards.
You can write cards on the Write Card Setting interface.
Mifare Classic
Concepts
• A Mifare card’s memory is divided into 16 sectors (from sectors 0 to 15) and each sector is divided into 4 blocks (from blocks 0 to 3).
• Sector/Block is where you write the encrypted card data.
• Every block stores 16 bytes. The first 6 bytes are Key A and the last 6 are Key B. They are used to protect each sector.
• Block Key A is where you write the authentication password(key).
Place the card on the ACR-CID01 while setting the card.
1.Set the IC Card Type to Mifare Classic.
2.Enter the sector number(0 to 15) that stores the encrypted card data.
3.Enter the block number(0 to 2).
4.Enter the old block key. If it is a new card, the key is “FFFFFFFFFFFF”(case insensitive) by default. If not, please confirm it with the service provider.
5.Enter the 6-byte new key.
6.Set the CID(the output card code) with a maximum of 4 bytes.
7.Click Modify CID. “Successfully write card” will pop up.
Tip
If writing the card fails, remove the card, put it back on the ACR-CID01 and try again.
You can click Read CID to check the card code.
Mifare Plus
Concepts
The Mifare Plus cards support one pre-personalized level and three security levels(SL), operating at a single security level at any given time and can only be switched to a higher level.
• SL0: Store the pre-configured keys for setup, including level switching keys and AES keys for memory access.
• SL1: Cards are fully compatible with MIFARE Classic 1K/4K cards, allowing them to work seamlessly within existing MIFARE Classic systems.
• SL2: Require AES authentication and use MIFARE Classic CRYPTO1 for data security.
• SL3: Require AES for authentication, ensure secure communication, and maintain data integrity.
Place the card on the ACR-CID01 while setting the card.
1.Set the IC Card Type to Mifare Plus. The Master Key, Config Key, and SL2 Switch Key cannot be changed.
2.Upgrade the card. If it is a new card, it must at least be upgraded to SL1 for usage.
• To upgrade the card from SL0 to SL1, customize the SL3 Switch Key with a maximum of 16 bytes. Then, click Upgrade to SL1.
• To upgrade the card from SL1 to SL3, enter the SL3 Switch Key you set. Then, click Upgrade to SL3.
The card cannot be upgraded from SL0 to SL3.
3.Enter the block number(1 to 128). Do not enter these numbers: “3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35, 39, 43, 47, 51, 55, 59, 63, 67, 71, 75, 79, 83, 87, 91, 95, 99, 103, 107, 111, 115, 119, 123, 127”.
Note
• A Mifare card’s memory is divided into multiple sectors and each sector is divided into 4 blocks (from blocks 0 to 3). Sector/Block is where you write the encrypted card data.
• Block 3(The fourth block) is used to store key. Therefore, avoid entering the number of the fourth block in each sector.
4.Enter the old key. It is 32-bit F(case insensitive) by default for new cards. If not, please confirm it with the service provider.
5.Customize the new 16-byte key and click Write Card.
• Write SL1 CID: Write the key into the SL1 card.
• Write SL3 CID: Write the key into the SL3 card.
Tip
If writing the card fails, remove the card, put it back on the ACR-CID01 and try again.
You can click Read CID to check the card code.
Desfire
Concepts
• DES(Data Encryption Standard) Fire cards support advanced encryption algorithms, including AES, providing a high level of security for data transactions.
• Each card has applications, and each application can store files and 14 keys. These are essential parts for reading the Desfire cards.
Place the card on the ACR-CID01 while setting the card.
Create App
1.Set the IC Card Type to Desfire. Select the PICC Crypto type from AES and DES. For Akuvox Desfire cards, it is DES. If it is a third-party card, please confirm it with the service provider.
2.If you need to format the card, enter the PICC and click Format. The default is 32-bit 0 for Akuvox Desfire cards.
3.Customize the App ID from 1 to 16,777,215. It is suggested to enter 6-digit hexadecimal if you want to use the device with Akuvox door phones or access control terminals.
4.Set the key count with 14 at most. The key count decides the key ID. For example, if you enter 4, then you can set 4 keys with key ID 0, 1, 2, and 3.
5.Click Create App. “Successfully Create App” will pop up.
Create File
1.Enter the App ID you set on the Create App interface.
2.Enter the App Key.
• If it is an Akuvox Desfire card, it is 32-bit 0 by default.
• If it is a third-party card, please confirm it with the service provider.
3.Enter the Key ID based on the key count you selected on the Create App interface. For example, if the key count is 1, then the Key ID is 0. If it is 2, the Key ID for the first key is 0, the second key is 1.
4.Customize the File ID from 0 to 31.
5.Set key permissions. You can grant permissions to specific keys.
Enter the corresponding key ID when you need to read and/or write the card CID. Please note that the Change Key function is currently unavailable.
If the key count is 1, you can set all the values to 0.
6.Click Create File. “Successfully Created File” will pop up.
After creating the App and File, the encryption of the card is done. If you want to change the App Key and card code, further navigate to the Modify Key and Modify CID sections.
Modify Key
You can modify the App Key of specific keys. Then, assign different keys to personnel with different permissions to set cards.
1.Enter the App ID and the desired Key ID.
2.Enter the Old Key.
3.Enter the New Key and click Modify Key.
Tip
If writing the card fails, remove the card, put it back on the ACR-CID01 and try again.
Modify CID
1.Enter the App ID and Key ID. Please note that this Key should be granted permission to write and read the CID on the Create File interface.
2.Enter the App Key and File ID.
3.Enter the new CID with 4 bytes at most.
You can click Read CID to check the card code.
Tip
If writing the card fails, remove the card, put it back on the ACR-CID01 and try again.
Card Reading
The ACR-CID01 supports reading unencrypted IC cards, Mifare Classic, Mifare Plus, and Desfire cards. Before reading cards, make sure you select the right IC card type.
Note
• For unencrypted cards, you can output card codes by directly placing the card on the device.
• For encryption-featured cards, you need to first encrypt them.
◦ If the card is encrypted and provided by the third-party service provider, please confirm the encryption information with the provider.
◦ If the card is not encryted, you can use the ACR-CID01 to encrypt it. Please refer to the Card Writing section.
