WDG-5912 Programming Instructions

Cypress WDG-5912 USB Programmable Wedge

WDG-5912 Programming - Getting Started

A programming interface is provided for the WDG-5912 through the RS-232 port. Programming There are some important differences between the 4612 series and 5912 procedures.

Required equipment to program the WDG-5912:

1. RS-232 cable F-F Crossover type.

2. Terminal program (such as Hyperterminal) running VT-100 emulation at 9600 baud, 8, N, 1 with Echo ON, no hardware handshaking.

3. RS-232 port on host computer running the terminal program.

Placing the Wedge into programming mode:

The WDG-5912 in normal operation will pass all printable ASCII characters input to the serial port to the USB keyboard output. To utilize the RS-232 port for programming purposes it is necessary to place the port / wedge into programming mode.

The wedge should be connected to the computer through the USB cable to provide power. The RS-232 cable should be installed and the terminal program running.

Type the characters + + + into the terminal program.

The wedge should answer with “Command mode”.

Now the standard Cypress programing commands can be used i.e. \R \L etc. If you have not used the Cypress programming interface, this manual will cover the details in the following pages.

After programming is complete, the wedge can be placed back into normal operation by pressing the “Esc” (Escape) key.

Note: If you are using the same computer to program and host the USB interface, a condition can occur during programming where a keepers will enter an infinite loop. This can happen when; the terminal program is the active window, the wedge is in normal mode, and a key other than + is pressed. The wedge will output the character to the terminal window where it will be fed back to the wedge through the RS-232 port where it will then be output as a keystroke.

To terminate this condition, briefly unplug the RS-232 connection to the wedge.

WDG-5912 Programming - The Programming Interface

Step by Step - Using the Wedge for custom Wiegand formats

This section will explain how to use the Cypress programmable wedge to generate Facility Code and Badge numbers from Wiegand data streams of 24 to 64 bits.

The user should be familiar with Decimal, Hexadecimal and Binary number systems and a reader should reconnected to the wedge and be operational. condition.

The user will also need to know any formatting details of the decoded data.

Different processes are required for Strobed/ABA or Wiegand/ABA data. These procedures apply to Wiegand/Binary data only.

There are several steps involved in getting the desired facility code and badge numbers from Wiegand data using the Cypress Wedge.

These are:

1. Determine the number of bits in the raw Wiegand data.

2. Determine the actual data bits (raw data) from the Wiegand card reader.

3. Determine where the desired facility code is located in the raw data.

4. Determine where the desired badge data is located in the raw data.

5. Composing programming strings to filter the facility code and badge data from the incoming raw Wiegand data.

6. Determine the number of decimal digits for the facility code and badge data.

7. Composing programming strings to correctly display the decimal facility code and badge numbers.

We will go through each step with the “Standard” 26 bit Wiegand badge as an example:

First, determine the number of bits in the data stream and the raw data coming from the reader/badge.

Place the Wedge into “Badge Peeler” mode by entering \PH and \QH into the programming interface.

This will cause the wedge to generate an output that displays the number of bits and the badge data in raw hexadecimal format.

Lets say our 26 bit badge yielded the output “ 26=000002F62712” from the badge peeler mode. We now know it is 26 bits (the numbers before “=”) and we have the raw binary data in hexadecimal form.

We will use the worksheet provided at the end of this document to work out the bit positions and conversion information. The worksheet can be printed and used with pen and pencil for calculating the programming strings.

Reset the programming parameters back to factory defaults using the reset jumper block before proceeding.

Each Hex digit is converted to its binary equivalent and filled into the bit boxes.

First write the individual Hexadecimal digits over each 4 bit group (2 per byte) starting from Right to left. The

upper most significant bits/bytes are zero padded.
