Inventry: Mifare number format

[howartp]

Can anyone who has Inventry and Mifare cards please tell me what format the card number is stored in Inventry - is it Hex or Decimal?

 

Inventry are installing after Easter and I want to get a CSV ready to import our card numbers which we use already.

 

Cheers.

Sorry taking a sidestep on this.

 

We are looking to install inventry too, do you guys use Go4Schools?

Sorry, no.

 

We're going to be using either NRS SmartID, Cunninghams IDStore or BioStore to integrate all systems, but that's not arriving till Spring Bank. (It's out for tender at the moment so I can't comment further as there's two of the suppliers on here spying on me)

No worries, I understand!

 

We have Go4Schools and they currently won't integrate with each other which is a bummer.

 

Good luck with your install.

Little endian Hex

 

edit 1 : or at least it is on my site (they may have the option to work with other formats)

edit 2 : my colleague wrote the following to convert ...

 

decimal value typed in B2

converted to hex in C2 using =TEXT(DEC2HEX(B2),"00000000")

converted to little-endian hex in D2 using =RIGHT(C2,2)&MID(C2,5,2)&MID(C2,3,2)&LEFT(C2,2)

This works perfectly on classic MiFare cards and we have been using it since you posted it.

 

I don't suppose you know how to do the same with DesFare cards? We are moving from MiFare to DesFare and I need to convert but it is not working for me :-(

 

Cheers, eddyc

Sorry, never had to deal with DesFare, this was purely created out of necessity.

 

On a side note, the person who manages the Inventry backend now simply ticks the box to automatically enroll the card, and when the user uses touch screen to login for the first time it point out they don't have a card registered and asks them to swipe their card removing the need to know or translate/convert the card number.

No worries.

 

Yeah we have that enabled although prefer to scan them in as our users struggle to self-enrol.

As already stated they scan to hex by default but as we already had mifare cards in use and all our other kit scans in decimal format we asked them to change it...took a bit prodding but they can do it.

Thanks! I've raised a call so fingers crossed we can get the format changed.

No problem. The scanner on the main screen they could re-program remotely but if you have any quickscanners they had to be sent back to them but it was only a about a weeks turnaround if I recall but probably a holiday job if you have any.
