Smart Card Testing Panel
Rev. 1.0
This panel is for testing the Contact Smart Card Module using an SLE memory card. The SLE 4428 is a 1 kilobyte memory card which is a recommended or equivalent memory card from SLE. The Smart Card utility is very basic and only supports simple commands for the purpose of TESTING the device only.
“ Card Reset ” – This option is the first command which needs to be selected once the SLE card has been inserted into the contact card slot. Press the card down firmly until the LED changes color. If the card contacts are inserted the wrong way, the Device will sound two short Beeps to indicate an ERROR and the LED will not change color.
Remove the SLE card and rotate the card so that the gold contacts on the card face the opposite direction and then insert the card by pressing the card down firmly. Once the card is inserted properly the LED will change color and other options will be un-grayed.
“ Login ” – Once you have entered the two byte HEX password (Default is FF FF) press the Login button. If the password is successful, the “ Save ” and “ Data Write ” options will be un-grayed. If the wrong password is entered then an error panel will pop up.
“ Save ” – Once this option is un-grayed, the card is unlocked and the value of the “Password (2 Hex)” can be written to the card, changing to the new password. Removing the card performs an Auto Log out. The new password will need to be entered in order to Login once the card is inserted back into the SmartCard module.
“ Data Read ” and “ Data Write ” – Before pressing these options, you should select the Start Address and the Data
Length. The start address is two hex bytes (“FF FF”) and should not exceed the memory size of the memory card. A
1 KB card has an address range off “00 00” to “04 00” hex. A data length of “40” hex will display 64 bytes of data.
Using the default values is recommended for first time users. The card data will be displayed in HEX on the screen, with each data byte composed of two hex characters. You can edit the value of each character by typing over the data bytes displayed. An error screen will pop up should the data length or data format be invalid once the Data Write option is pressed. The data written to the card is not verified by this command and a Data Read should be performed to confirm that the data was written to the card properly. If you did not login then the Data Write button will be grayed out and you will be unable to save any data to the card. You can read data from the card without logging in.
“ Clear ” This option will clear all the data in the data window. This will not affect or change the information on the memory card. If you have not saved the data before pressing Clear , changes to the data will be lost.

MX Device Firmware Upgrade Panel
Rev. 1.0
The MX Device Firmware Update panel is automatically opened when the utility recognizes that the selected device has been turned “ ON ” to update mode. In upgrade mode the MX-Device will sound a beep and flash the LED every second.
If you have more than one device connected, use the pull down list to select from the available devices on your system. Select the appropriate MX-Device to be upgraded. Note that the MX-Device selected must be in Upgrade mode in order for this Menu to be shown. Selecting a MX-Device which is not in Upgrade mode will automatically change the menu selection according to the current settings of the selected MX-Device.
The Device Info area will display the MX5 Device’s current information stored in its flash memory. If you do not wish to change the firmware, press the Reactivate button and the MX5 Device will restart with its current firmware.
The “Device Update” area lists all the features of each Firmware File that can be flashed into the MX5 Device. The
Device Type, Output Format, RFID and Smart Card options as well as the presence of a Magnetic Card or 2D
Barcode reader can be selected and the most appropriate Firmware File will be selected. Note that certain combinations of options are not possible, and the Utility disables incompatible selections. Alternatively, you can select a particular firmware file by entering the Product ID or by selecting a file that has been downloaded, using the
'Custom File' entry in the “Available Firmware” pulldown list.
“ Reactivate ” – This button will reactivate the current firmware inside the MX-Device. The device will automatically restart once it has completed the “Upgrade” or “Reactivate” action and the Utility will return to the General Settings panel.
“ Upgrade” – You may choose to install new firmware using the “Upgrade” button into the MX-Device. You must select a valid MX-Device firmware file before the “Upgrade” Button can be selected – the “Upgrade” button will be grayed out until you have chosen a valid file.
Advanced Mode
If the Product ID number of the file selected is for a different module than what was initially installed on the Device and the “Update” button is clicked, a warning message will be displayed. An override option is available. Clicking on the Advanced Mode button displays a password entry dialog. The password required for changing a MX5
Device to a new Product ID within the Model’s possible modules is ‘MASTER’ .
If for some reason there is a need to change the Model to be something other than what it was designated to be from the factory, there is a password that provides the option to load any firmware file. This can render the product non-functional if an incorrect firmware file is loaded. Using this mode will lock up an MX5 device and will void the warranty. The override password to load any firmware into a unit is ‘SUPER’.

MX5 Manual for Mac OS X Rev. 1.0
Hardware Mounting
The MX5 compact, MX5 combination and MX5 stand alone unit can all be easily attached on any existing computer system with the use of the double sided Velcro adhesive strip which is included with your unit.
Various configurations are possible for mounting your MX5 to your computer, see the illustrations below.
The MX5 can also be mounted to your table top or wall using the Velcro adhesive strip. Mounting lugs included on the bottom of each MX5 reader make it easy to mount and secure to your kiosk or work area.
Hardware Maintenance
You can increase the life and maintain the performance of your MX5 magnetic head reader by periodically cleaning the read head with a pre-saturated cleaning card. It is recommended to clean the head once a week if heavily used and once a month for light use. Cleaning the head will improve successful read rates and ensure long life of the reading head. The same cleaning card can also be used to clean the chip card contacts of your
Smart Card (SC) module. Cleaning cards should be available from your MX5 vendor.
Reading / Writing RFID
To Read/Write RFID cards on the MX5 combination or Compact RFID device, place the card near the side of the case indicated by the RFID symbol (((o))). The card can be read from up to 3 cm from the device. For writing cards, it is best to have the card as close to the device as possible.

Troubleshooting and FAQ
Normally your MX5 product is a plug-and-play device and should operate trouble-free.
Below you will find a list of various Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and solutions which maybe helpful in resolving any issues with your MX5 product.
➢ My MX5 LED flashes and beeps every second
Solution: Your MX5 is set in upgrade mode. Use the MX5 Utility to reactivate your existing firmware or install a different Version of firmware into the MX5. By upgrading your firmware, your system may install different drivers for your MX5 device. This is normal and you should let the process complete normally.
➢ When using my MX5 as a Virtual Serial (VRS) device, my software application cannot see the MX5 when I change USB ports
Solution: The MX5 may be assigned a different device name if it is inserted when other MX5 VRS devices are present. This is normal and you will need to insert each device in a specific order or leave them attached.
➢ After mounting my MX5 Device on my monitor, two beeps are randomly heard from the MX5
Solution: Older CRT monitors emit electromagnetic fields and mounting the MX5 to this type of monitor is not recommended. The CRT will interfere with the MX5 Magnetic Head and RFID device. Two beeps from the MX5 indicate an error state was detected which was caused by the CRT electromagnetic fields.
➢ After I upgraded my firmware on the MX5, I cannot see any data from the MX5 Device
Solution: The default firmware installed into the MX5 device is commonly a keyboard device. When you read a card using the MX5, data is automatically typed to your computer as if someone has entered the data manually. If you have installed a new firmware application which is a Virtual Serial port (VRS) or
HID Report device, the card data will no longer be sent to your keyboard port. Your software application will determine which interface you are required to use for your MX5 device. The MX5 Utility is designed to be used to upgrade, configure and test your MX5 device. The data window in the Utility will display data from the card, regardless of the output format selected. If your MX5 is a keyboard device, you can view card data in any word processing or note pad document.
➢ I have updated my firmware on my MX5 combination device and my RFID stopped working
Solution: Check the hardware configuration setting using the MX5 Utility. You can enable or disable any portion of your combination reader. You can turn off the Magnetic card option of the MX5 and only use the RFID or SC option of the firmware. By doing so, you will not be able to read any magnetic cards.
Alternatively, you can also turn off the RFID or SC of your MX5 device and only enable the Magnetic card option. The factory default setting is only the Magnetic card option is enabled. You need to change this setting to enable other options and save your changes.
➢ I am using the MX5 and after I upgraded the firmware, the utility does not see any device
Solution: As new firmware applications are created and released for the MX5 Devices, upgrades are also done to the MX Utility and the Configuration. If you download new firmware files from the Internet, also make sure that you are using the latest MX Utility available. By downloading the latest MX Utility and installing it on your system, all the required updated files are automatically installed and updated.

Other Considerations
All the Device settings are stored inside the flash memory of each individual MX5 device. Moving the
MX5 device to another computer will not affect the MX5 settings.
All the configurable settings available through the MX5 utility can be configured by using a special
QuickSet “Default Card”. A factory default QuickSet card is provided with all our MX5 Magnetic card devices to setup the device to a known factory default mode. You can have your own Custom versions of the QuickSet setup card to meet your system and software requirements. This feature is ideal for hardware deployment and setting up your hardware. You do not need to use the MX5 Utility to setup your MX5 magnetic device when you use the QuickSet setup card. Just read the QuickSet card and all your settings are automatically saved into the flash memory of the MX5 device.
Your MX53 magnetic card readers are all designed to be easily upgraded with an RFID or SC solution.
Just remove the side cover from the MX53 card reader and attach the correct cable to your RFID or SC module. The module is designed to snap on the MX53 reader. The MX53 combo unit is now ready to be flashed with the appropriate supporting firmware.
Custom firmware applications installed on your MX5 device may be designed to disable utility and upgrade functions. Contact your device vendor for more details.
Data Encryption features are only available on custom firmware applications. Contact your device vendor for more details.
