SIFER 994618

Designed and manufactured by Inner Range, the SIFER reader is a multi-drop RS-485 based reader that employs 128 bit AES encryption from the card through to the door module, providing a far superior level of security than that of traditional Wiegand based card readers. SIFER readers utilise the Mifare DESfire EV1 card format.

As SIFER readers utilise a superset of the OSDP protocol, the readers may also be deployed on any system capable of using OSDP. Up to 16 SIFER readers may be connected in series to the dedicated RS-485 reader port on the Integriti Intelligent LAN Access Module (ILAM) or the new Integriti Access Controller (IAC) for full Reader-In and Reader-Out operation. Up to 4 SIFER readers may be connected to the Integriti Standard LAN Access Module (SLAM). SIFER readers are IP67 rated and available with site specific encryption keys.

Three card ordering options are available:

• SIFER-P: Pre-programmed 'stock' cards with card number printed. The most cost-effective option but card customisation is not allowed.
• SIFER-U: User Programmable cards that allow an installer to customise the card number, site code and use their own encryption key. Printed with factory card number.
• SIFER-C: Custom batch orders configured by the factory according to the specified card number range, site code, encryption key and printing options. Cards cannot be re-programmed at a later stage by the installer or the factory.

SIFER- U Credentials

The User-programmable 'stock' Credentials.

SIFER-U credentials are produced and shipped with an identical set of features to that of SIFER-P, however SIFER-U credentials can be reprogrammed in the field using the SIFER Programming Station.

Features

• Re-programmable using the SIFER Programming Station
• The default encryption key can be re-programmed
• The default site code can be re-programmed
• The default card number can be re-programmed*
• The default card numbers printed on SIFER-U credentials is consecutive within a batch, but may not consecutive from one batch to the next
• More than four billion card numbers available
• More than 16.7 million site codes available
• Available ex-stock from Inner Range distributors
• SIFER-U credentials are available as ISO card or Key FOB type media
• SIFER-U ISO cards are punch-able in two locations
• Use SIFER-U cards to create SIFER reader configuration cards. (Via the SIFER Programming Station)
• Option to use a SIFER-Gold Card to ensure a unique encryption key**

*Note - Card numbers are permanently printed onto SIFER-U credentials from the factory. Re-programming the card number will create a mismatch between the printed card number and the programmed card number. SIFER-C credentials are recommended where custom card number and printing is a requirement.

SIFER-GOLD Card

The SIFER-Gold Card is an ISO card available from Inner Range for use with the SIFER Programming Station and allows SIFER-U cards to be assigned with a guaranteed unique encryption key.
