How to test credentials (Cards, Fobs) for integration

How to share information that eLocker can use to verify the level of integration with your access system

In this article, we outline how to send the eLocker team information about your cards, which will allow us to confirm the level of integration that is possible with your cards.

Overview

  1. Download applications to Android phone and test your card(s)
  2. Send screenshots from the NFC Tools and Mifare Classic Tool apps to your eLocker representative
  3. We will provide a free report explaining the type of card and level of integration that is possible

You must have 'Use NFC' enabled in your phone's settings.

Download and install two free apps from the Google Play Store

  • NFC Tools
  • Mifare Classic Tool

Step 2:

Open the NFC Tools app. The first screen will look like this.

Present the Access Card or Fob to your phone. The app will read the data on the card.

The screen should appear like this.

  • If this application cannot read the card, please let your eLocker representative know and send a photo of the front and back of the card. We may ask for a physical card to be sent for us to carry out a deeper investigation into your card

Please take a screenshot of the page and prepare to send it to us via email.

Step 4:

Step 5:

Keep the Card/Fob against your phone and select the START MAPPING AND READ TAG Button

Take a screenshot of this page, then scroll down and take more screenshots so that all 16 sectors (0-15) are included in the screenshots.

This should be three screenshots.

Send these three screenshots with the one taken from the NFC Tools app to your eLocker representative
