GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO
General Information
2 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 Functional Description
The GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO allows users to read and write information (data) from and to data carriers. Data
carriers using MIFARE® and ISO 15693 technology are supported by the device. The data carrier reading platform
can accommodate data carrier media of all shapes and sizes and there is also a card slot designed to hold RFID
cards of standard ISO, i.e., credit card, size.
The compact and robust housing is intended to sit on a desk, or similar workstation, in a central location where the
reading / writing of data carriers can be conveniently performed. In most instances the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO
will be integrated with RFID system management software and operated by employees of a facility. Common tasks
for employees using the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO include:
Assigning data carriers to customers / members / employees.
Modifying and deleting information stored on data carriers.
Reading of lost data carrier information to determine the assigned owner.
The GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO connects to a computer through its integrated USB or Ethernet port and the
appropriate cabling required for these connections. The device offers the possibility to communicate with a
computer via Ethernet (Figure 2.1 ) or USB (Figure 2.2) interface.

General Information
Figure 2.2 – Communication via USB interface
Power for the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO is always supplied through the USB port. More information on the Ethernet,
USB and power connections is described in “3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.
Once physically connected to a computer, the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO configuration settings can be viewed and
changed via the TCP/IP interface using GAT Config Manager software (see section “4. CONFIGURATION AND
OPERATION”).
After setup is complete, the device can be used directly with GANTNER developed software or integrated with thirdparty software via GAT DIRECT.Connect (see “4.11. Software Integration”).
2.2 Terminology
Several key terms are used often in this manual and are defined below.
PC / Computer
These terms refer to all desktop and laptop computers running a Microsoft Windows operating system.
Data Carrier
A data carrier is a form of identification media that is used by staff and visitors in a facility for identification. Data
carriers are available in a variety of different forms such as plastic wristbands and chip cards. Data carriers are also
available to suit different RFID technologies (LEGIC, MIFARE®, ISO 15693).
Device / Station / Terminal
These general terms are used interchangeably in this manual to refer to the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO and other
GANTNER products used in a facility for identification (e.g., GAT Access 6xxx) or to activate a service (e.g., GAT
Time 6xxx).
GAT Config Manager
GANTNER developed PC software that is used to configure GANTNER devices such as the GAT NET.Writer 7000
F/ISO. A separate manual is available and integrated into the software. While the software is open, click on the
“Help” drop-down menu and select “How Do I”.

General Information
Locker
The term "locker" is used to generally describe all possible locker applications that can be fitted with a GANTNER
electronic lock. Examples include, a changing room locker, a depot or a private box.
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification)
Identification over a short distance using radio frequency. An RFID data carrier is used as identification media in
GANTNER systems.
User / Visitor
The general terms "user" and "visitor" refer to the people in a facility who use data carriers and GANTNER devices.
Users of the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO in a typical installation are usually employees of the facility.
2.3 RFID Technology
Identification of users by GANTNER devices within a facility is done via RFID (radio-frequency identification)
technology using a frequency of 13.56 MHz. There are three different technologies available. Different letter(s) are
added to GANTNER model identifiers to notify of the technology that the device supports:
"B": LEGIC
"F": MIFARE®
"ISO": ISO 15693
The GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO can operate with data carriers using MIFARE® and ISO 15693 technologies. It is
necessary for all devices and data carriers in a facility to use the same technology. The information in this manual is
applicable for the following RFID technologies that are supported by the GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO.
MIFARE® (manufacturer NXP/Infineon)
Classic
DESFire®
Ultralight®
ISO 15693
The GAT NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO is able to read and write ISO 15693 data carriers.
In addition to the different RFID technologies, data carriers are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. The GAT
NET.Writer 7000 F/ISO is designed to accept these different types of data carrier media on its RFID reading
platform.
