FunkyGate

Wall-mounted RFID & contactless reader

FunkyGate contactless reader is the new generation device for high demanding access control systems. Key points are security, interoperability and evolutivity.

Interoperability : not only is FunkyGate able to read serial numbers from virtually any 13.56MHz contactless card (standards ISO/IEC 14443 and 15693), but it is also able to fetch particular data from Mifare or advanced T=CL cards. Furthermore, thanks to its numerous output interfaces, and its fully configurable output format, FunkyGate integrates itself in any access-control system.

Evolutivity : FunkyGate supports 4 different configurations at the same time, thus allowing different types of cards to be used on the site. Furthermore, making it possible to rotate authentication keys periodically leads to improved security.

Security :

  • FunkyGate is the only reader in this range of price being able to communicate safely with NXP Desfire cards (DES or 3-DES ciphered communication). FunkyGate is also able to verify a numeric signature (HMAC-MD5) and to diversicate authentication keys (Mifare and Desfire) for top-of-the-art security level.
  • FunkyGate is equipped with an anti-tamper facility : 2 magnet sensors positioned respectively on the reader's back-face and front-face stop removal or opening.

FunkyGate features

  • 2 tamper sensors,
  • Size : 103x75x23 mm,
  • Power supply : 12V DC, 80mA typical, 250mA max
    USB version is self-powered by the bus,
  • Operating temperature : -20°C -> + 80°C,
  • Black ABS housing,
  • Red and green LEDs,
  • Single-tone beeper.

Contactless/RFID

  • Supported contactless smartcards (partial list) :
    • NXP Mifare Classic & Mifare UltraLight, Desfire, ProX, SmartMX,
    • Infineon SLE66, STMicroelectronics ST19, Atmel AT88,
    • STMicroelectronics SR176 and SRiX, ASK CTS256B and CTS512B,
    • Inside PicoTag and HID iClass (serial number only),
    • Calypso (Innovatron radio protocol) (option),
    • NFC objects or mobile phones in 14443 card emulation mode.
  • Supported RFID tags and labels (partial list) :
    • NXP ICODE1, ICODE-SLI,
    • Texas Instrument TagIT,
    • STMicroelectronics LRI.
  • Advanced support of NXP Mifare (MAD) and Desfire (DES/3DES authentication and ciphered communication),
  • Support of any T=CL card by a sequence of APDUs,
  • RFID transmission : 13.56MHz carrier, baudrate 106kpbs (14443) or 26kbps (15693, standard and fast modes),
  • Card operating distance : 0 to 5cm (depending on the card).

Versatile and easy configuration

Configuring FunkyGate (list of cards to be read, output format, ...) is done easily and in a secure manner, even on the field, thanks to « master cards ». The software and the configuration cards are the same for FunkyGate as for IWM-K632, Prox'N'Roll RFID scanner and ProxRunner.

FunkyGate's configuration supports up to 4 type of cards simultaneously, thus allowing to read heterogeneous badges with a single reader.

FunkyGate interfaces

FunkyGate is suitable for either RS-485, Dataclock (ISO2 emulation), or Wiegand operation.

RS-485 interface

  • 2-wire bus, up to 14 readers may share the bus, max 30m,
  • Baudrate : 1200 to 38400 bps,
  • Decimal or hexa-decimal ASCII output, length 32 to 128 bits,
  • User interface (LEDs et buzzer) is driven by short commands on the serial link.

Dataclock interface

  • 2-wire output : DATA and CLOCK (active low), max 30m,
  • ISO2/Magstripe output format, 10 decimal digits (40 bits),
  • Host controler drives both LEDs directly.

Wiegand interface

  • 2-wire output : DATA1 and DATA0 (active low), max 30m,
  • Configurable output format (32 to 128 bits),
  • Host controler drives both LEDs directly.
