WieETH: Bidirectional converter Ethernet – Wiegand

Examples of use

• Contactless readers
• Electronic access systems
• Security systems
• Legacy access systems updates

Operation

Converting Wiegand to Ethernet: The converter sends card numbers of from a reader using Spinel protocol. Data is sent through an established TCP connection to a controlling system. (Based on the configuration DIP switches it can also read the card number as a raw data in ASCII.) The controlling system reads the last card number using Spinel instructions.

Converting Ethernet to Wiegand: Any packet can be generated to the Wiegand interface using a Spinel instruction.

Transferring Wiegand over Ethernet: Two WieETH converters connected to Ethernet can work in a pair sending a Wiegand packet over the Ethernet as if there was a regular Wegand connection. First WieETH that reads cards is set to Wiegand – Ethernet mode (TCP client mode) and the second converter to Ethernet –
Wiegand mode (TCP server mode).
