Nodes (scroll down to see Nodes)
SecuriCode readers are called Nodes. There is a 2-way authenticated and encrypted communication between Tags and Nodes together with other mechanisms to protect privacy and identity. This combination of features differentiates SecuriCode Nodes from conventional RFID readers.
All SecuriCode Nodes have adjustable range / sensitivity (set by Hyper Terminal or an external application) and all can communicate Tag protocols to RFID servers / external applications. Depending on Tag type this includes Tag signal strength, digital input status, alert and tamper status, expiry status, battery check and identity.
The choice of Node is determined by the type of server interconnectivity in place or planned (Ethernet, Power over Ethernet (PoE), WiFi, Compact Flash, USB, RS232, Wiegand and Nodes that operate over mains / PowerLine and telephone lines (ActiveMux) are available), whether aesthetics are important (Art Nodes) and whether anything needs to be controlled (Door Controllers function stand-alone and Access Nodes have additional inputs and outputs (for sensors, contacts etc) and require an external application). There are Rugged options for outdoor use and Embedded options for placing inside third party products.
Contact us for advice (Nodes are available in 2 Types, Standard (the Node is a transceiver to which Tags listen and then respond) and Beaconing (the Node is a receiver to which a Tag transmits of its own accord). An AutoCompare sub-type allows Tag identities to be stored on the Node, allowing access to hotel rooms for example.
See 'About us' for a general overview and contact us for the SecuriCode Operational Overview which explains Node types and operation in more detail.
