1. Introduction

The MD-08 is an easy-to-use Wiegand to RS-232 converter. It allows
you to connect a Wiegand reader directly to one of your PC’s COM
ports. The MD-08 allows you to set employee and system codes
without having to use a reader attached to a controller in the network.

parity.

The message is in the following format:

SS 02 FF 02 FF 00 0E 29 YY DD XX

Where:

 SS is the start frame: FF, FF, FF, 55
 YY is the number of Wiegand reception bits (in hexadecimal base)

 XX is the message check sum (without the start frame)
 DD is the incoming Wiegand bits data up to 96.

For less than 96 bits (for example 26-Bit only), the data contain
leading zeroes (70 leading zeroes for Wiegand 26-Bit).
