INTG-994720, SIFER RS-485 Smart Card Reader Mifare DESfire EV2

The SIFER card reader is a Smart Card reader designed and manufactured by Inner Range. It 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/EV2 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 IP 67 rated and available with site specific encryption keys.

User Programmable cards allow an installer to customise the card number, site code and specify their own site-specific encryption key. Inner Range also offers Pre-programmed cards and Custom Programmed cards where site specific programming, printing and encryption options can be selected when ordering batches of cards from the factory.

Connectivity

The SIFER Reader connects to the host module via multi-drop RS-485 cabling. Up to 16 Readers can be connected on the same Reader RS-485 bus.

Communication is via the industry standard and non-proprietary Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) allowing the SIFER Reader to be compatible with other brands of Access Controllers and share the bus with other manufacturer’s OSDP devices.

When used in an Integriti or Inception system, enhanced OSDP allows for automatic addressing and firmware upgrades over the wire.

Three card ordering options are available:
1. SIFER-P: Pre-programmed ‘stock’ cards with card number printed. The most cost-effective option but card customisation is not supported. With more than four billion card numbers available each SIFER-P card is guaranteed to be unique.
2. 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.
3. 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.
