Sales can read from a Texas Instruments S6400 RF reader (Type=1) or “The Block” reader from eNSYNC Technologies (Type=2). After logging into Sales, the TI RF reader beeps (indicating that it is correctly configured). The program included with the device must be used to turn on the audio and LED, and lengths of time to be used for them.

Prefix
Text string
(quotes optional)
“”(empty string)
Sales can read from a Texas Instruments S6400 RF reader (Type=1) or “The Block” reader from eNSYNC Technologies (Type=2). This setting is used with the eNSYNC device. If there is no prefix, just the unencrypted pass number is put on the card. If there is a prefix (e.g. Prefix=A), then the prefix followed by XX, and then the encrypted pass number should be encoded on the card. In order to read an RF card with a Block reader, you can call up the Ticket Inquiry dialog and use the Read RF button.

SwipePrefix
Any valid prefix
S
Sales can read from a Texas Instruments S6400 RF reader (Type=1) or “The Block” reader from eNSYNC Technologies (Type=2). These need to be connected to an available comm port using the defaults. The UID (the id of the RF card/wristband/etc., being read) is sixteen digits hexadecimal. Because Siriusware only allows for up to a sixteen digit decimal number to be used, the first four hexadecimal digits are removed before processing the number. The resulting number is used with the prefix specified and processed like any swiped input.
