4.  Now click the “Card In Config” tab. On the card type drop down select MIFARE Classic. Tick “Enable MIFARE Classic” and also “CSN”

5.  There are two other settings that need taking in to account. A Mifare UID can be read in different ways. The main two are DEC (decimal)  and HEX (Hexidecmal). If your Mifare numbers when entered onto the access system has only digits 0-9 t will be a DEC number, if the number has 0-9 + A-F it will be HEX. Also the number can be in reverse byte order on some systems. Use the two options below to set a DEC or HEX output and change the byte order until the number  the card outputs matches the one you need to enter on your access system.

6. To save the changes to the reader click the “System Config” tab and click “Apply changes” and “Reboot system”.

7. The reader will reboot and should now appear as a Keyboard Device. If you open up Notepad and present a Mifare card to the reader the UID of the card should by automatically outputted to document.
