While we're on the subject, I have another one for the HID Omnikey 5122 (below) ?

 

Testing the HID Omnikey 5122 dual (contact / contactless) encoder;

 

Work backwards from the printer.

 

Step 1;

 

Does the PC see the encoder(s)?  (Yes / No)

From Control Panel -> Device Manager expand the Smart card readers entry;

Assuming Yes, and it’s an HID Omnikey 51xx dual encoder that is fitted;


Step 2;

Download and install HID’s Omnikey Workbench.

The latest version is V2.2 and can be downloaded from here;

Does that see the encoder(s)?

Assuming the encoders are listed in the Omnikey Workbench;

 

Step 3;

 

Select the contactless encoder (for contact chip encoding, choose the top encoder, without CL);

Load the Mifare card into the contactless encoding position here;

 

Printer Properties -> Encoding;

Look on the HID Omnikey Workbench.
 Does it see the card?

Is there an answer to reset (ATR)?
