Keyboard SureSwipe Flag Property (KB, UART, RS-232)
Property ID: 0x1A
Property Type: Byte
Length: 1 byte
Get Property: Yes
Set Property: Yes
Default Value: 0x01
Description: This property is only effective in USB Keyboard and UART/RS-232
modes. If you wish to send SureSwipe data in USB HID mode, see the
HID SURESWIPE FLAG PROPERTY.
This property enables/disables SureSwipe emulation when the Security Level
is 2 and the Interface Type is Keyboard. The default is SureSwipe emulation
enabled, keyboard data will be emitted in the SureSwipe format (see MagTek
document 99875206). This allows clients to receive a reader without security
enabled (Security Level 2) and use it exactly like a SureSwipe reader. Later,
when a client is ready, they can switch the reader to a higher Security Level
and take advantage of the robust security features offered by the reader. A
value of 0x01 enables SureSwipe emulation, a value of 0x00 disables it. A
user might disable SureSwipe emulation to allow the reader to emit keyboard
data in the full V5 format without encryption. This could allow the user to
develop software that works with this format without worrying about
cryptography at the start.
This property is stored in non-volatile memory, so it will persist when the unit
is power cycled. When this property is changed, the unit must be reset (see
Command Number 2) or power cycled to have these changes take effect.
Decode Enable Property
Property ID: 0x1B
Property Type: Byte
Length: 1 byte
Get Property: Yes
Set Property: Yes
Default Value: 0x00
Description: This property is defined as follows:

Decode
Type
Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved JIS Type 2
When a decode type bit is set to 1 (true), the decode type represented by that
bit is enabled. When a decode type bit is set to 0 (false), the decode type
represented by that bit is disabled. The reserved decode type bits should
always be set to zero.
