Encoding Kiosk Application

The Encoding Kiosk Application reads Gallagher or third-party (non-Gallagher) card data from MIFARE Classic and DESFire cards, and encodes the equivalent data so that cards can be used at both third-party readers and Gallagher T-series readers.  

The Kiosk supports: 

• reading Gallagher data and writing that data back to other Gallagher sectors/applications.
• reading Gallagher data and writing that data back to other sectors/applications with a configurable third-party card format (non-diversified).
• reading third-party data and writing that data back to other Gallagher sectors/applications.
• reading third-party data and writing that data back to other sectors/applications with a configurable third-party card format (non-diversified).

This Kiosk Application helps to:

• provision cards with a second Gallagher application to allow base building and tenant systems to be accessed with a single card. 
• provision cards with a non-diversified app for use by non-Gallagher readers (e.g., elevators or key cabinets), eliminating the security risk of sharing keys.
• assist cardholders to use a single card at multiple readers, during a reader change-over.

It is possible to customize elements of the visible Application, including a logo, the background and text colours, and the error message displayed.

This stand-alone application requires use of the Gallagher USB MIFARE encoder (C41007).

Important: The Encoding Application does not support the Gallagher MIFARE DESFire default key seed.
