HID 920PHRNEK00004 Access Control Reader

The RP40 multiCLASS is a multi-technology card reader designed for customers upgrading their current card system from HID Prox to iCLASS credentials. With the RP40 multiCLASS, the customer has the ability to transition to smart cards over time while incorporating the use of multiple card technologies within a single building or across multiple facilities. Unlike contactless smart card serial number readers, with the RP40 multiCLASS, you get enhanced security through mutual authentication and data encryption. Only the RP40 multiCLASS provides true iCLASS security, the ease of Prox, the power of smart cards and the confidence of choosing RP40 multiCLASS, the worldwide leader in access control.

The pivCLASS® solutions portfolio includes a broad selection of contactless, contact and contactless, and biometric readers. These readers are designed to work with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) to meet the assurance level requirements defined in the NIST Special Publication 800-116 and in the federal government's ICAM E-PACS document. The pivCLASS readers can be deployed in either "Wiegand" mode PAM mode. Wiegand mode is for use without a PAM. While this mode does not provide any strong authentication at the door it does provide a phased deployment capability to support transition to FIPS 201 compliance. Conversion from Wiegand mode to PAM mode can be done in the field by reconfiguring the reader firmware. Up to two pivCLASS readers can connect to a PAM via four-wire RS-485 connections, typically enabling facilities to re-use much of their existing wiring.
