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:
Prox-Booster (tacho) NEDAP, EM and HID PROX
Smartcard-Booster (Ultimate) MIFARE (incl. Desfire EV1), HID iCLASS,
ISO14443A, ISO15693 and Calypso.

2 INSTALLATION

2.1 DIMENSIONS

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.

3.3 READER OUTPUT TACHO INFO

Tacho-Booster mode (Vehicle-ID + Driver-ID + Tacho-Counter)
The prox-booster tacho should be connected to the speed pulse generator of your vehicle. The prox-booster will count the number of pulses generated. 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 driver-id and tacho-counter are transmitted to the host system for 5 seconds. Afterwards the Booster automatically deactivates again. The tacho counter will be updated while the booster is deactivated. The booster will remain active when in 'always-on'-mode.
Example
reader output: vehicle-id = 123, driver-id = E4947C46, tacho-counter = 2AC4,

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
