This document provides instructions on using the Wiegand Format Editor found within the Global

Configuration section of the Intelli-M
technology used in cards, card readers, and sensors that allows data to be placed on a card that can

Overview Of Wiegand Formats Used By Intelli-M

®

The Intelli-M® Supervisor Plus software provides the ability to create custom Wiegand card
formats. Cards can be created with a diverse range of format flexibility that include:

• Formats up to 64 bits

• Customized facility (site) and card code sizes

• Even and Odd parity masking

However, there are significant hardware differences between IDC controllers and eIDC
controllers in regards to acceptable card formats within Intelli-M. Table D-1 provides a summary
of these differences.

Table D-1

Intelli-M currently allows for a total of eight unique bit-length formats to simultaneously function
within the Supervisor Plus software. The eight formats are as follows:

• Infinity 37

• Wiegand 34-bit

• Wiegand 26-bit

• ProxPro Keypad 4-bit Key

• 8-bit Burst Key

• 27-bit (indala)

• 29-bit (indala)

• 35-bit Corp 1k

Important: Infinity 37 is a proprietary format that cannot be shown, edited, or deleted at this time.

The above listed default formats within Supervisor Plus that can be edited (or deleted) are shown
below. Unless specified otherwise, the formats shown below can be used with both IDC and
eIDC controllers.
