Introduction - Gallagher T11 Mifare Reader Black Installation Note

Introduction

The Gallagher T11 Reader is a mobile credential and smart card proximity reader. It can be installed as
either an entry reader or exit reader. It can be mounted on a vertical, rectangular 50 mm x 75 mm (2" x
3") flush box with mounting holes spaced at a nominal 85 mm (3.25").
The reader sends information to the Gallagher Controller and acts upon information sent from the
Gallagher Controller. The reader itself does not make any access decisions.
The reader is available in eight variants. The card technologies for each variant are shown below.

The reader can be connected as an HBUS Reader or Cardax IV Reader. An HBUS Reader uses the HBUS
communications protocol to communicate with the Gallagher Controller. A Cardax IV Reader uses the
Cardax IV Reader communications protocol to communicate with the Gallagher Controller.
IMPORTANT: HBUS compatibility
HBUS communications are supported with sites running Gallagher Command Centre vEL7.00 software
(or later).
IMPORTANT: Multi Tech readers
Using dual technology 125/Mifare cards with Gallagher Multi Tech readers may cause both card
technologies to be read, resulting in double card badges and unusual reader feedback. Gallagher
strongly recommends against using dual technology 125/Mifare cards with Multi Tech readers for sites
running pre-Command Centre v7.00 software. From Command Centre v7.00, a site may specify which
technology a Multi Tech reader should read off a dual technology card.
IMPORTANT: PIV readers
Gallagher PIV readers connect to the Gallagher Controller 6000 High Spec PIV (C305101) only (referred
to as the Controller). Gallagher PIV readers can only be used with sites running Gallagher Command
Centre vEL7.10 software (or later). Gallagher PIV readers are connected as HBUS Readers only.
IMPORTANT: Mobile credential readers
Gallagher Multi Tech readers support Gallagher mobile credentials using Bluetooth® wireless
technology. Mobile credentials are supported with sites running Gallagher Command Centre vEL7.60
software (or later). To use mobile credentials, the Multi Tech reader must be connected as an HBUS
Reader.
