Q & A

Q: Since this is a Keyboard Emulator, will this work with Ubuntu/linux?

A: Yes, this device will work with any Linux system that has USB HID drivers installed. These drivers are normally installed by default. The device worked perfectly with my Arch Linux/KDE system.

Q: When I use the product to scan RFID tags I am obtaining a 4 byte number such as 21401160. Does anyone know how this maps to the 7 byte UIDs tags have?

A: It's quite easy and I stumbled upon it. There is a disk that ships with the reader and has a program called demo.exe Run that and it will give you various options to choose for formatting the read. The very first one is a radio button titled "10 no in D(four byte). Select it and go down and click set. That's it. It now reads a standard MiFare 10 digit code the same as my access control system. It will be very helpful for enrolling batches of cards for users at a very reasonable price.
