Card Formal Overview
Card Format Overview
Card Formats specify the arrangement of data that a reader connected to a controller expects to read from presented
access cards. When a person presents an access card at a reader, the reader passes the information encoded in it to
the controller. This information is generally a string of numbers. Various portions of this string may have specific
purposes, which the controller can check while determining if the cardholder should be granted or denied access. For
the controller to interpret the numerical string, you must define a card format for C•CURE 9000 to download to the
controller for use with that reader. Card Formats are assigned to a Controller's Readers in the Reader Editor for that
Controller. See the C• CURE 9000 Hardware Configuration Guide for more information.
C•CURE 9000 supports up to 128 Card Formats. For each controller, only the card formats configured for its readers
are downloaded.
C•CURE 9000 supports two types of Card Formats:
■ Magnetic - Used with magnetic stripe encoding. Magnetic Card Format Fields are configured in digits and Data
Length specifies the number of digits. Data Length is limited to 40 digits with Magnetic Card Formats, unless an
HMAC field is included (in which case the Data Length must be 50 digits).
■ WiegandProximity - the Card Format Fields are binary - they are configured in bits and Data Length specifies
the number of bits. Data Length is limited to 200 bits for an ISC Controller, or 256 bits for an iSTAR Controller.
Card formats longer than 200 bits will not be available for assignment to a card reader on an ISC controller.
Each Card Format is associated with a CHUID Format. Selecting a CHUID to associate with the Card Format
determines which fields are valid in the Card Format definition, and automatically determines the Position Value for
each Card Format Field.
Card Format configuration includes a range of reverse swipe options. Some of these options are controller-specific, as
explained in the section on Reverse Swipe in Card Format Definitions on Page 22.
You can use the Card Format Format Fields tab to specify the fields included in the Card Format, their order and
position in the Card Format, and the parity fields that are part of the Card Format.
To edit a card format, you use the Card Format Editor (see Card Format Editor on Page 13).

way you want reverse swipes to be treated with this Card Format.
See Card Format Definitions on Page 22 for definitions of all fields and buttons on the Card Format General Tab.
Configuring a Card Format
To configure a Card Format, you need to specify the following:
■ CHUID it is based on
■ Data Length of the format
■ Method of encoding used
■ Reverse Swipe options
■ Card Data fields
■ Parity fields
Specifying a CHUID
When you define a Card Format, you must specify the Card Holder Unique ID (CHUID). A card format for use on an
ISC controller must use the Card Only 32 bit CHUID format.
To Specify the CHUID
1. Click in the CHUID Format field. A CHUID Format dialog box appears.
2. Click the name of the CHUID you want to use; the CHUID Format dialog box closes and your selection is

EFTA01225259
Card Format Editor
Specifying the Encoding Method for a Card Format
To set the encoding method for the Card Format, choose either:
■ Magnetic (if you are using magnetic stripe encoding)
■ Wiegand/Proximity (if you are using a swipe or proximity card)
MI card formats for ISC controllers should have the Wiegand/Proximity option selected because these formats are
described using a binary field. This includes magnetic cards. In order to create a card format for a magnetic stripe
card for ISC, each field in the Card Data Fields grid must have the encoding column set to BCD.
Specifying the Reverse Swipe Options for a Card Format
To set the Reverse Swipe options for the Card Format, choose one of the following:
■ Read as Normal Swipe - Treat a reverse swipe attempt as a normal swipe.
■ Read as Duress - Treat a reverse swipe as a duress indication.
■ Ignore Reverse Swipe - Select this option to have the reader ignore reverse swipe attempts. Supported only on
ISC controllers.
■ Reverse Swipe is Not Allowed - Select this option if you want the reader to treat reverse swipe attempts as
invalid.
■ Must Always Use Reverse Swipe - Select this option if you want only reverse card swipes to be read. Supported
only on iSTAR controllers.

Creating an apC Card Format with Position Offsets
Creating an apC Card Format with Position Offsets
The apC controller supports the use of Position Offsets to define a Card Format that can accommodate a card set that
includes some cards with identical Card Numbers but different Facility codes or Site codes.
You need to use Position Offsets in this case because the apC controller does not support multiple CHUID formats.
(For iSTAR controllers, you can use multiple CHUID formats to deal with a card set that includes some cards with
identical Card Numbers but different Facility codes or Site codes.)
Example:
A company using apCs has multiple cards with the same card number, but differing Facility codes.
Table 1: Position Offset Card Number Example
Card Number Facility Code
0000000245 33
0000000245 45
With Position Offsets, you can define a Card Number that is composed of two fields in the card format. This card
number is calculated by the apC and is compared to the Card Number specified in the Personnel record to determine
if the card is accepted or rejected at the reader. You can specify an offset value for Facility code fields or Site code
fields.
You can only use Position Offsets with Card Formats that use the Card Only CHUID, and are intended for use with
apC Readers.
Position Offset values must be a minimum of five positions, with a maximum of nine positions.
When you select the Card Only CHUID Format in the Card Format editor, an additional field, Show Position Offsets
- apC only, appears and is selectable. On the Format Fields tab, an additional column - Position Offset - is added to
the Card Data Fields table.

If you select any features that enable the Card Format for use with an SC or iSTAR reader, the Position Offsets option
becomes unavailable.
Example:
If you select either Ignore Reverse Swipe (ISC only) or Must always Use Reverse Swipe (iSTAR only), the
Show Position Offsets - apC only option is unavailable.

Using Card formats with Position Offsets for apC
You need to perform the following steps to define a Card Format that uses a Position Offset for apC:
1. Define a new Card Format. See Defining a Card Format with a Position Offset on Page 19.
2. Assign the Card Format to the apC Readers where the cards will be used (only apC Readers are allowed to use
this type of Card Format).
3. For every access card that will use the new Card Format:
a. Calculate the card number that the apC will use. You can either calculate the number manually or swipe the
card at an apC reader to see the card number (the System Variable Display Card in Journal must be set to
True). See To Calculate a Card Number When Using an Offset Facility Code on Page 20.
b. Add a Credential to the owner's Personnel record (on the Personnel Credentials tab).
c. Enter the calculated card number for the card into the Credential.
Defining a Card Format with a Position Offset
To use Position Offsets for a Facility code or Site code in a Card Format, you must configure the offsets on the Card
Format editor Format Fields tab.
You add a row to the Card Data Fields table to define the Position Offset and the possible Values for the Facility code
or Site code.
To Define a Card Format with Offset Facility Code
1. Open the Card Format Editor (see Accessing the Card Format Editor on Page 14.
2. Click In in the CHUID Format field and select the Card Only CHUID Format. The Show Position Offsets -
apC Only field appears.
3. Select Show Position Offsets - apC Only to enable the Position Offset column on the Format Fields tab.

Creating anapC Card FormatwithPosillonOffsets
Use the following formula to calculate the card number when offset values are being used.
Calculated Card_Number = Offset field x 10 Position_Offset_for_Field + Card_Number_field
Example:
You have a card set with cards that have the same card number but different Facility Coda
In this case, two cards with card number 245, one having Facility Code 45, the other having Facility Code 33.
For each card, you need to use the following formula to determine the calculated Card Number that includes the
Facility code:
Calculated Card_Number = Facility_code_field x 10 Position_Offset_for_Facility_code + Card_
Number field
Card Number Calculation

Smart Card Keys
Smart Card Keys
C•CURE ID provides the ability to define Smart Cart Keys for MIFARE Smart Cards.
MIFARE Smart Card Keys are six byte (48-Bit) values used to secure sectors on the card. There is one key for reading
and one key for writing per sector. The keys can be the same value if desired, but for security reasons, they are
typically assigned different values.
The Smart Card Keys are used when you are reading data from MIFARE Smart Cards and programming
MIFARE Smart Cards.
■ To read data from a MIFARE Smart Card, a device must know the Read Key that is on the Smart Card, or the
read attempt is rejected.
■ To program (write data to) the Smart Card, the device must know the Write Key.
Each sector on the Smart Card can have a different Read Key and Write Key.
In addition,you must program your Smart Card readers with the Read key that you used on the cards, so that your
Smart Card readers can read the data that you program onto the Smart Cards.
You define Smart Card Keys using the Smart Card Key editor.
You can access the Smart Card Key editor from the Card Formats and Keys pane in the Administration Client
application.
See Smart Card Keys help for more information about Smart Card Keys.
Smart Card Key Configuration
Use Configure>Smart Card Key from the C•CURE 800/8000 Administration application to create, edit, and specify
Smart Card keys. A Smart Card key is used to securely read and write data to a Smart Card, and also to program
Smart Card readers to read cards
