HID features and models supported by Security Center

This section lists the Security Center access control features that are supported by each HID unit model.

Supported keypad reader options

Card and PIN operation depends on the type of unit and the keypad reader installed.

For both HID iCLASS and Prox readers, the Keypad configuration setting option is selected at the time of purchase. Supported options include the following:

Option 00: “Keypad configuration setting option” of 00 = Buffer one key, no parity, 4-bit message.
Option 14: “Keypad configuration setting option” of 14 = Buffer one to five keys (Standard 26-bit output). This reader option is also known as “Galaxy Mode”.

For HID SmartID keypad readers (SK10), the following option is required to support card and PIN functionality:

Option 02PIN-0000: “Pincode Wiegand 4 bit per key no parity”.

Supported PIN length

By default, HID controllers only accept PIN numbers up to 5 digit long. You can increase this limit to 8 digits for readers using Card and PIN mode, and to 15 digits for readers using Card or PIN mode.

Supported readers

HID units support most industry standard card readers that output card data using the Wiegand protocol (up to 128-bit card formats).

HID SmartID readers (MIFARE and DESFire) are also supported.

Support for Power over Ethernet (PoE)

The following Legacy and EVO units support PoE (15.4W):

Unit type	Support
HID Legacy/EVO V1000	Not supported
HID Legacy/EVO V2000	Not supported
HID Legacy EdgeReader/EdgePlus	Supported
HID EVO Edge	Supported

Supported cardholder and reader capacity

The number of cardholders (or credentials) that a unit can support offline is as follows:

Unit type	Supported number of cardholders
HID Legacy V1000 with V100	22,000, up to 125,000 cardholders with full memory upgrade.
HID EVO V1000 with V100	65,000. No memory upgrade is possible.
HID Legacy V2000	22,000, up to 125,000 cardholders with full memory upgrade.
HID EVO V2000	65,000. No memory upgrade is possible.
HID Legacy EdgeReader/EdgePlus	22,000 cardholders (maximum). No memory upgrades are possible.
HID EVO Edge	65,000. No memory upgrade is possible.

The number of readers that a unit can support is as follows:

Unit type	Supported number of readers
HID Legacy/EVO V1000 with V100	64 readers with 32 V100 reader interface modules¹ 32 doors configured as card in/card out 64 doors configured as card in/REX out
HID Legacy/EVO V2000	2 readers 1 door configured as card in/card out 2 doors configured as card in/REX out
HID Legacy EdgeReader/EdgePlus	1 reader 1 door configured as card in/REX out
HID EVO Edge	2 readers 1 door configured as card in/REX out or card in/card out

¹ HID states that a V1000 controller can support a maximum of 32 downstream interface modules (16 on each RS-485 serial bus). However, the performance tests run by Genetec Inc. indicate that as a “best practice”, 20 downstream interface modules should not be exceeded (10 per serial bus).
