Near-field communication (NFC) card access
You can use an NFC card, a technology used in badge entry systems or payment cards, to
control access to a Trex unit using the Security Management settings. You must first
enable a security scheme on the Trex unit before pairing it with an NFC card. Pairing the
Trex unit with an NFC card requires you to enter a PIN. Only one NFC card and PIN
assignment is supported for a Trex unit user.
The Trex unit supports NXP NTAG21x series NFC cards. The NTAG21x series are 2nd
generation NFC chips by NXP. The NTAG21x series NFC cards have a unique 7-byte UID
(Serial Number) that Trex units use when pairing a card to a user.
Note
The Trex unit does NOT have security enabled out of the box.
