Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION
The Prox-Booster and Smartcard-Boosters are dual ID tags enabling simultaneous
identification of the inserted personal ID card and the embedded vehicle ID
resulting in rapid driver and vehicle monitoring. The Prox-Booster Tacho additionally
sends the tacho-counter value, which relates to the travelled distance of the vehicle.
The Booster allows an inserted Proximity or Smartcard driver ID card and embedded
vehicle ID to be read from a distance up to 10 meters (33 feet) in combination with
NEDAP TRANSIT readers. This solution substantially enhances the level of security
when controlling activities of vehicles that are regularly used by different drivers.
Additionally a fully integrated vehicle and personnel access solution can be
implemented.
The Smartcard-Booster Ultimate additionally supports encrypted authentication
using diversified AES128 bit keys, in combination with the TRANSIT Ultimate and the
Security Key Pack.
For more details about the NEDAP TRANSIT Standard or Ultimate reader refer to the
corresponding installation guide.
The combined vehicle and driver ID is a unique NEDAP patented feature. Optionally
the vehicle-ID can be sacrificed if more information from the personal ID card is
required.
The following personal ID card types are identified with the Boosters:
The Boosters are easily mounted to the inside of the car’s windshield by means of
suction cups. Users should ensure the visual contact between the Booster and any
TRANSIT reader is unobstructed with items such as stickers or metallized
windshields (see also chapter 2.3 about solar control windshields).
Note that the Booster's suction cups must be faced toward the reader to achieve
maximum reading distance.

2.2 TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS
The Booster is designed to operate within the extreme temperature ranges, which
often occur behind a vehicle’s windshield during the winter or summer seasons (20°C to 85°C / -4°F to +185°F). However the personal identification card inserted in
the Booster may not be designed to withstand such temperatures and could suffer
damage as a result.

2.3 SOLAR CONTROL WINDSHIELDS
From 1997 onwards several car manufacturers introduced vehicles with solar
control windshields. The solar control windshields are equipped with a metalized
coating, which can block the TRANSIT signal from the Booster mounted on the inside
of the windshield of the vehicle.
Most of these windshields have a metal free zone where transponders can be
mounted. The metal free zone of metalized windshields is most often found in the
middle of the windshield behind and slightly below the rear view mirror. In vehicles
manufactured after 1998 the metal free zone should be indicated on the window.
We advise the owner to contact the local car dealer if it is not clear where the
aperture is exactly positioned in a certain vehicle and where the transponder should
be mounted.
2.4 PROX-BOOSTER TACHO
The prox-booster tacho is a special booster version that should be wired to the
speed pulse generator of your vehicle. The exact wiring details and connection
location very much depend upon the brand, type and model of your vehicle. Contact
your vehicle dealer for more information about the speed pulse generator in your
vehicle.
Tacho input specifications:
• Input voltage: 6V to 24V (max. 30V).
• Polarity reversal tolerant.
• Input prescaler 1:256.
• Maximum pulse frequency 850Hz.
• Maximum vehicle speed 255km/h (at 12 pulses/meter).

Identifying The Booster With A TRANSIT
3 IDENTIFYING THE BOOSTER WITH A TRANSIT
3.1 HOW TO USE THE BOOSTER
Place the Booster on the inside of the windscreen of your vehicle as described in
chapter 2. The driver inserts his personal identification card and activates the
Booster’s button.
A beep should indicate that the card was successfully read. A low beep indicates
that card reading failed. The TRANSIT reader can identify your card up to a distance
of 10 meters (=33 ft).
After 5 seconds the Booster returns into sleep mode. The booster will remain active
when in 'always-on'-mode. The driver should remove his personal identification card
from the Booster when leaving the vehicle.
3.2 READER OUTPUT BOOSTER INFO
The Prox/Smartcard-Booster is a battery operated passive tag. The information from
the tag is sent to the reader by a method called modulated backscatter. This means
that the 2.45GHz signal coming from the reader's antenna is modified in such way
that it can be recognized by the reader.
The examples below assume that a TRANSIT reader with P81 firmware is used and
show the messages transmitted on the RS-232 interface to a host system (TXD).
Refer to the TRANSIT firmware manuals for more details about the reader
communication protocol.
Combi-Booster mode (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID)
The Booster cannot be identified until the driver inserts his personal identification
card and pushes the Booster’s button. Once the button is pushed the Booster reads
the personal identification card and beeps
and driver-id are tfransmitted to the host system for 5 seconds. Afterwards the
Booster automatically deactivates again. The booster will remain active when in
'always-on'-mode.
Example
vehicle-id = 123, driver-id = E4947C46,
TXD = Y000000012300000000000000E4947C46P
If 'Standard-length' is configured, the following message is transmitted to
the host.
TXD = U000000012300E4947C46P
Event identifier ('Y' or 'U').
Vehicle-id (10 digits).
Driver-id (10 or 22 digits).
Booster mode (Only Driver-ID)
The Booster is 'sleeping' until the driver inserts his personal identification card and
pushes the Booster’s button. Once the button is pushed the Booster reads the
personal identification card and beeps
transmitted to the host system for 5 seconds. After that the Booster automatically
deactivates again. The booster will remain active when in 'always-on'-mode.

Smartcard Configuration
4 SMARTCARD CONFIGURATION
The Smartcard-Booster can be configured by means of a configuration card. This
configuration card is a Mifare Classic 1K or 4K card that is programmed with the
configuration settings.
Configuration is only required if the factory default settings are not sufficient. The
default settings are described in chapter 4.2.3.
4.1 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
Every Booster used in the application should be configured with the configuration
card. The simple configuration procedure is described below.
Insert the configuration card in the Booster and push the button. The Booster sounds
the buzzer with an increasing frequency (♪ ♪ ♪) to indicate that the configuration
card is accepted.
4.2 HOW TO CREATE A CONFIGURATION CARD
NEDAP has developed a software application that allows system integrators to
create configuration cards. This software can be downloaded from our website
