How to Customize Kadex RFID To Kadex Mifare
Introduction
FingerTec Kadex is an access control device that supports RFID, Mifare, or HID cards. Unfortunately, only one card type is applicable at a specific Kadex. Therefore, if you have a Kadex RFID, you can't use the same device to verify MiFare cards. However, Kadex RFID can be switched to accept MiFare cards as a verification option with some device adjustment. A MiFare card is a smart card that can contain data and be read at the device. This tip will show you the step-by-step process to convert Kadex RFID into Kadex MiFare.
