- Proximity Smart Cards are contactless cards, or wireless proximity
cards. They contain a microchip that identifies the card. The cards
have a maximum range of 3-7 cm which means that in many cases can
be read while still inside a wallet or gymbag. The internal microchip
makes it nearly impossible to forge the card. So you can be sure that
if gymmaster recognises a card that it's one you issued.
- For access control the Proximity Card Reader has a capability to operate
an electric latch on a turnstile, gate, or door,
- The Proximity Card Reader also has small LCD display that can display
short messages to the cardholder
- Proximity smart card reader software is started by the ``card sentry''
programme, the icon for this should be on your desktop. You will need
to plug your reader into the serial port of your computer.
